    Defending him for speaking his mind in a non hateful way. Yes, I would defend anyone's right to do that. Hell, I'd defend anyone's right to speak hatefully if they chose to. I may not agree with it, but I would defend it

    Glad to see Sarah Palin defending the right to free speech. It's not like she'd ever do the exact opposite.

    This is a stupid thing to care so much about. He's not being put in jail or anything. He got in trouble from his employer for saying stupid, hateful things publicly. It's not a big deal at all.

    Does it say anything in the comments about her not defending free speech? I didn't see a comment anywhere pro or con from Palin

    Many liberals don't believe in a God. Why do they care what Phil Robertson says about the Bible? If there is no heaven, how can what he says about sinful behavior be at all filled with hate?

    The big deal is people like you saying what he said was stupid and hateful, when it wasn't either of those things.

    comments section. You had posted that link, and I expected to see lambaste Letterman, but didn't.

    Not.

    Fucking.

    Hateful.

    Your closed-mindedness is bordering on bigotry.

    Oh I don't know. I don't read comments under articles, mostly. They tend to be pretty shitty. I just linked that webpage so anyone could see what issue I was referring to. I'm sure you know the story of the joke and fallout from it.

    Honestly, I had forgotten. yes, I remember now

    I love Dave and all, but he attacked her 14 year old daughter. Someone verbally assaults one of my children and they get knocked the fuck out

    When did Palin say that Bashir and Letterman didn't have the right to say what they said? Supporting the right to free speech, versus disagreeing with what is said, are two entirely different issues.

    This is a basic distinction, and hardly "the exact opposite," as was claimed. If she had said that Bashir and Letterman didn't have the right to say what they said, then that would be the "exact opposite".

    So here I am agreeing with PapaG, sending me into deep contemplation.

    Is quoting tenants of the Bible or another holy text hate speech or slander? Question for debate.

    What about defending a&e's right to run their business how they see fit?

    I disagree with Robertson's views, by the way, because only because I don't believe in a God or a heaven.
