Lack Of Calls From The Right For Touré To Be Fired A Testament To Principled Support For Free Speech | Mediaite

Lack Of Calls From The Right For Touré To Be Fired A Testament To Principled Support For Free Speech | Mediaite: "MSNBC host Touré ignited a firestorm on Thursday when he accused Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign of engaging in the “niggerization” of President Barack Obama by calling the negative tone of his campaign “angry.” But where are the outcries by conservative activists and prominent Republicans for the boycotting of NBC’s advertisers until they let Touré go? Nowhere. And that is a testament to the standard that most conservatives value in practice as well as principle, that the freedom of speech means freedom to say offensive and irresponsible things."

Noah Rothman of Mediaite gets it right once again.
