I don't really have any feelings about Coulter her self but it is an important free speech issue.
And I support her 100%
Free speech is great. But the are consequences for saying something particularly stupid. She's notorious for her "Shock value", sometimes those who get a kick out of being shocking get a kick in the ass, deservedly so. Nobody can take away her right to say whatever she wants, but the response to her remarks is also free speech.
I sure hope you are kidding. No one is saying she doesn't have the right to say what she did.
They are saying what she said was stupid and classless.
How would all the male freepers feel if they were all called faggots?
Its not nice, its shows a lack of class. And it wasn't funny.

just as one side has the right to pressure their radio stations to not play the ditzy hens the other side has the same right to pressure their snews papers etc. to not print Coulter's writings.
Now if you have the goverment coming in and saying that Couler cannot speak out like she did THEN you have a free speech issue. The ditzy hens think their free speech was prohibted, it wasn't they had/have the right to blab all they want and as long as the goverment doesn't stop them their rights are intact, even if their fans choose to boycott. THey don't get that, and it sounds as if alot on the right don't get it either.
This isn't an important free speech issue. Nobody is questioning her legal right to say whatever she likes. People are just personally criticizing her personal decision to use such language, that's all.
