Radio shows aren't free. They're paid by advertisers, who in turn are paid by me, the customer.. These idiots are perfectly free to stand on any street corner and spew their crap all day long, but they aren't entitled to a JOB to do it. I couldn't insult a customer at work that way...why should they feel they can do so ON MY NICKEL? I hope they lose their show over this.
Hey...no one's stripping them of their rights. We just don't have to PAY them hear it. If I was in a restaurant, and a waiter said those things to me, I would walk out. If I was in a supermarket, I would complain to the manager, and leave. If the manager wants my business, he'll throw the bigot out on the street. Pulling the "freedom of speech card" isn't a charge card.
No, its not free. If they want to pump out this crap on their own dime, then fine...but they can't expect people to stand around and PAY them to do it.

Nope. its not a "free speech issue". They can stand out on the streetcorner and spew their garbage all they want, but if we, the listeners are paying their meal ticket (indirectly, by supporting the business that advertise on the show) then they're accountable to us. I don't have the right to speak that way in my business to my customers. Why should they?
