"We know A&E is not the government. It may shock your tiny little
pea brains, but free speech existed even before we had a Constitution.
Free speech is generally considered a desirable goal even apart from its
inclusion in the nation's founding document. Suppose TV networks were
capitulating to angry Muslims by suspending people for saying they
opposed Sharia law? Would that prompt any of you pusillanimous hacks to
finally take a position on the state of free speech in America? Or would
you demand that we stop the presses so you could roll out your little
cliche about a television network not being the government? A&E
didn't dare cross the gays, never anticipating that the Robertson family
wouldn't back down -- and the rest of the country wouldn't, either.
Even non-Christians can have only contempt for the network's utter
cravenness in suspending Robertson for stating basic Christian doctrine.
The first time someone stands up to a bully and the sky doesn't fall,
the tyranny is over. The gay mafia was out of control, drunk with power.
This time, they got their wings clipped. Christians, 1; Angry gays:
minus 1,000. Cliche-spouting hack TV pundits: I recommend capital
punishment." -
