Bill O'Reilly wrote the following the other day:

quote:

The main point here is that trying to hurt a business or a person because you disagree with what they say is simply unacceptable in America.


Lots of us would agree with that statement. Of course, we may disagree with Mr. O'Reilly as to whether making fun of him, is the same as trying to injure his business.

There are others who would agree wholeheartedly with Bill's sentiment, so long as it's Bill O'Reilly who is complaining, but not if it's the Dixie Chicks.

Discuss.

I think you might enjoy this, Nohero. The Dixie Chicks show up in the middle of it.

Isn't the conservative point of view that unrestrained market forces should be enough to force out bad products and activities?

Thomas Jefferson's point of view was that the cure for bad or incorrect speech was more speech.

So yes, Discuss. Also, satirize.
