om...
people on this board are quick with the commentary. I was wondering if
these people email their comments all the time to stations like Cuba
and China telling them what they think ?????

imagine emailing RHC to tell them they are a bunch of hypocrites etc.

Would RHC or someone else read the e-mails on the air? Brother Stair
sometimes takes calls, and every once in a while someone calls him a
hypocrite. It's well worth hearing!!

Well, Brian, the cat's out of the bag now!

Seriously, I find it particularly perplexing when someone complains their
right to free speech trumps someone else's right to free speech.

It usually surfaces from someone with a liberal viewpoint. For instance:

The Dixie-Chick(s) start "singing the blues" when they realize that the
right to express an opinion works both ways. That they never considered
someone's right to free speech could include advocating a boycott of their
products reeks of either rank naivety, or extreme eliteism.

Tim Robbins - How dare someone else use their right of free speech to
criticize me.

Michael Moore - Same thing.

John "Two-Face" Kerry - Same thing.

J. Garafolo(?) - Same Thing

etc. etc. etc...

Now, I'm sure such vocal proponents of free speech and public debate DO
NOT have any intent to strip those same rights away anyone else. It's just
very difficult to try and understand the mind-set that on the one hand is
a most vociferous supporter of free-speech, yet routinely equates any free
speech criticism directed at them as somehow different from their right to
criticize...

You nailed it jd!. Liberals hate to be critiqued in any way shape or form.
It hurts their sence of moral superiority Oh yea? You don't mind if I

It's not only liberals. Look at the Bush Administration's suggesting
that criticizing the war is treasonous while at the same time insisting
they're in it for freedom's sake. AND it's not only the elites-the
average guy seems to be all for free speech as long as it's his free
speech and not anybody else's, an attitude which allows the elite to get
away with it. There's a reason that free speech is the first of the
rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

It's no different than what I said earlier - There's nothing
constitutionally wrong with defeatist remarks about either the war on
terrorism or the troops in harms way. There's also nothing
constitutionally wrong with anyone else criticizing those defeatist
remarks as damaging to the moral of those very troops and encouraging to
the enemy.

So, you think it's wrong when someone else points out the impact of
defeatist rhetoric as if it's oppression -yet- by your very demands, you
are insisting counter opinions be either outright suppressed or given less
weight.

I just find it difficult to understand the logic behind that
interpretation of free-speech...

No, it's still there in your reply - but it looks like the attribution
lines got crammed together... Up towards the top, it appears it was
"tommyknocker".
