Coulter and Imus: The New Odd Couple?

Shameless showbiz promoters are hoping to team Ann Coulter and Don Imus on a new radio show where they can take ignorance and thoughtlessness to the next level.

If two wrongs don’t make a right, then putting these two in the same room for our entertainment is a worse idea than sticking a rattlesnake down your pants to kill the wolverine you put there the day before.

Watch the right-wing harpy and classless boor handle such sensitive topics as:
• Paris vs Lindsey
• Why Obama will ruin America
• Sanjaya is the Devil
• Spring gardening tips
• Viginia Tech had it coming
• Gays in the WNBA: Who’s to blame?
• Retirement planning for people who are getting fired in a week

Seriously, does anyone (not wearing a white hood) think either of these two deserve a platform to spout?

Exactly...the free market

Exactly...the free market will handle it. Who has the right to tell people what is allowed to be said? Obviously there is an audience for these personas. They can say whatever they want. Do they deserve that right? Sure...they are free, American citizens, just like you and me. What makes this argument "age old" is the fact that we constantly have people wanting to silence others that disagree with them, or they feel that the language being used is "offensive". If you truly believe in the first amendment, then you must be willing to accept all the consequences that come with it, whether you agree with another's speech or not. If station managers and advertisers want to pay for their opinions, then so be it. You have the freedom to not listen. Are you the judge of who deserves to be on the air and who doesn't?

Age old argument

Supporting their right to free speach and believing they deserve a medium to broadcast their opinions are two different things. Thankfully, the free market usually takes care of the situation.

"Spring gardening tips"

I'm not wearing a white hood

I'm not wearing a white hood and I think both of them "deserve a platform to spout". See: United States Constitution - First Amendment. Are you now going to imply that I'm a member of the KKK?
