There is a right to free speach in this country

Sorry, but Opie and Anthonys, Imus or whoevers free speech rights werent violated. They have the right to say anything they want. However, an employer CAN dictate what they can or cant say when employed by them. Comparing this to Larry Flint doesnt make any sense. Larry Flint wasnt employed by anyone.
I said this in another post. If Opie and Anthony want true free speech. They can set up an internet radio show and say whatever they want. As long as they choose to be paid by the corporations, they are going to have to play by their rules just like anyone else.

Again this has NOTHING to do with the first amendment. The first amendment doesnt protect employers from dictating what an employee can or can not say while at work and being paid. You think im wrong. Try a little experiment, call your boss and tell him you want to rape his wife. Then when he fires you, cry that youre rights are being violated and try to get a lawyer. Two things will happen. First your boss will laugh at you while you are walking out the door. Then the lawyers will laugh at you for not understanding the basic rights outlined in the Constitution.
