Calls Hillary a squealing hoar. Gets fired. I figured you'd be carrying this gal's torch for her.  ;)

Is she the same marxist flake that used to call herself "dusty rhodes" and was run out of here years ago for lack of an audience?  she was always pretty angry and shrill..  well.. pretty much your typical liberal.

Freedom of Speech does not protect you from your company if you brake their rules.

Kinda funny a liberal talk station fired her though, you would think liberals would be more tolerant like they claim to be. 

It will be interesting to see Crockets take on this.

Is Air America an agency of the government?  No?  Then what's the story?

Refresher for you:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Is it really that hard to understand?

Congress didn't fire her, the radio station did which is their right.

If she wanted to get a soap box and start making a speech in the park she can do so under the constitution. That right does not guarantee her that if she does or says something her employer does not like she won't be fired or disciplined for it.

Folks need to get it through their head that freedom of speech does not give you an unlimited license to spew what you want, where and how you want as much as you want.
