In the great words of Newsfilter:
"If you wear a shirt calling our President a terrorist, that is free speech. If you burn the flag, it's free speech. If you take a cross with Jesus hanging from it and submerge it in piss for the sake of "art", that is free speech.
But opposing affirmative action and using the NFL as an example constitutes your head on a platter as does saying the word God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Welcome to America."
hi. anyone remember what happened to bill maher? isn't this kind of the same thing? free speech is just that- you're free to speak it. if, however, the american public is offended (and advertisers are hesitant to give money to the outlet through which they were offended), it becomes a liability. he's completely free to speak however he wants to speak, but now he's not going to be paid for his speaking.
