They are ever ready to rise in defense of hate speech by private individuals. So by their own standard of behavior, they shouldn't have any objection to people calling out Saint Charlie for his vile sentiments and the consequences thereof. And yet, there they are, putting together websites to try to get people fired for the mere act of commenting that as one sews, so does one reap. Hypocrites, all.
