In Reply to: I do not even know WHAT Rosy said. That is the point/ posted by Duilawyer on March 31, 2007 at 09:22:29:
Are you saying that if Rosy O'Donnel is saying something patently false, let's say a week or two before a major election, on a media outlet that is parially owned by, let's say, George Soros, that this would be protected free speech?Free speech is meaningless -- unless it is founded on a high regard for thhe truth. Rosie could claim that George Bush is an alien from outer space plotting the destruction of the human race -- not too far beyond what she is already contending. Is this protected free speech? Yes, sadly. Does ABC have to provide her with a forum in which to unleash this sewage into current of civilized and reasoned political discourse? ABOLUTLEY NOT!
The thing I fear is the silent tolerace of these falsehoods by those in the mainstream media and politics, by those who see their advantage in letting these small fires burn because it suits their agenda. The scariest thing is that there are even those in Congress who are willing to purvey these falsehoods because, cynically, they know the American public, or at least a portion of it, is ignorant enough to put some credence in it.
This is nothing but another iteration of "the Big Lie," the basis of the rise of Nazziism.
Rosey, and other trash talking, non-thinkers like her, whether on the left or the right, need to be exposed and discredited. They can say whatever they like, but noone has an obligation of any kind to actually aid and abet their political psycho-babel -- not ABC, not anyone. In fact, we have a moral obligation to discredit them and oppose them. This is not repression or censorship, this is merely sweeping out the barn.
