146. Righty? Have you read my other posts on DU?

Heck, have you really paid any attention to my posts in this thread?

My point is that we each have the right to watch what we want on our own property, whether it be MSNBC, Fox, ESPN, Sesame Street or anything else. To deny others that right is abhorrent. Moreover, everyone in this country has these rights, even those with whom we disagree. No one has the right not to be offended.

If you do not agree with that simple axiom about the First Amendment, you are the one who is most certainly not liberal.

I think that you and others believe that my disapproval of the OP's conduct is some sort of "defense" of Fox. That is simply absurd. I do not make an exception to my classically liberal beliefs for Fox or anything else, that would only make me a hypocrite.

If you do not understand my arguments, I would suggest you read about the ACLU's defense of the right of Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois.
