Is FREEDOM of SPEECH really free?
All from IMUS' racist comments. Imagine this... if you side with him that it was ok to say what he said due to FREEDOM of SPEECH, then how come Howard Stern was always attacked for what he said? You can hear Howard, but have to pay for it. So to have FREEDOM of SPEECH you need to pay for it. Is it really free? Stop and think about it for a second...
Ok, how come you would be fired from your job for making the same comments? How come our news reporters do not use the same words while reporting the news?
Point is that we must actual pay for the chance to be in an arena that allows freedom of speech without consiquences.

People are free to express themselves, and other people are free to respond also. And there is no "right" to be paid for what you say.
The freedom of speech that our soldiers have paid so dearly for, ought not to be wasted on filth, however.
