Sorry, but your post says otherwise:

There were several on this board suggesting we make an attempt to get Garofalo fired from 24 for the crime of being liberal. That’s no less ridiculous than trying to get a conservative fired for being conservative.

Everyone has the right to espouse their ideas, but that does not mean they get to avoid the consequences of bad decisions and choices.

You are confusing the two.

Granted. But, the mere fact that you were offended does not give you the right to determine those consequences beyond not tuning in.

I’ve grown weary of this “I’m offended — off with his head!” nonsense. It started with the left (Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition, GLADD, Feminists, etc.), and it has apparently spread to the right. It is pathetic from either side.

People need to butch up a bit. You don’t have the right not to be offended.
