Be sure we appease the freedom fighters

"Muslim Groups Opposed to ABC's Hiring of Radio Talk Show Host"
"(CNSNews.com) -Three Arab and Muslim American advocacy groups are voicing their opposition to ABC's "Good Morning America" hiring talk-show host Glenn Beck, claiming he has "an obvious anti-Arab and anti-Muslim prejudice in his broadcasts." The Arab American Institute, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council claim Beck made "threats and blatantly inaccurate statements" on his show. The groups sent a letter to ABC/Disney asking for a meeting to detail their concerns. They have also launched a membership action campaign urging supporters to contact ABC News over Beck's hiring. "[Glenn Beck's] addition to 'Good Morning America' would disseminate his prejudiced, openly-hostile and ignorant commentary to an even broader national audience, and diminish the credibility of your reputable and highly-rated news show," said the groups said in the letter to ABC. "To provide a platform for his hateful speech is dangerous and irresponsible, and we strongly and urgently implore you to reconsider this move," they wrote."
But it's ok for any person in this country to bash our soldiers, our President, our Vice President, Condoleeza, Laura Bush, etc...etc...etc...etc....

Let's just give them all the rights in this country and be done with it shall we? If Glenn Beck has a flappy lip, he can just join the numerous others of us practicing our God-given American right to free speech! Oh, he's a public figure? So are all those in Hollywood who publically announce their hatred and vitriol. So is John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Nancy Pelosi and the many others out there who love to say what they 'feel'.
