We're preventing people from speaking freely by calling out their fucking bullshit hypocrisy?
Are you for real?
Not sure I follow. Are you saying she's a hypocrite because she claimed to change her view on abortion? Or are you referring to the right as a whole? I don't believe promoting pro-choice views to a conservative audience is negative, so I have no problem with her doing so.
Now, this chick doesn't even lose her job but gets it put on 'hold' and you think its fucked up that people are happy about this? Like, sure, maybe think people are being a bit harsh but to call people 'fucked up' for it?
Jesus.
Semantics. I could have said messed up, screwed up, or like you said, harsh. No need to read into something that isn't there.
She didn't lose her ability so say what she wants. The Blaze is privately owned. If they were forced to broadcast her views, that would be a violation of their free speech. Nothing is stopping Tomi from saying what she wants. She isn't entitled to a platform.
You're right. I suppose my attempted clarification above didn't really do any good. I'm aware she didn't lose her right to free speech in a literal sense, but her words were effectively censored solely because they are (generally) against conservative ideology. While The Blaze is free to do what they want, what I'm trying to argue here (and perhaps doing a poor job at) is that it was wrong for them to do so.

I have gotten a lot of replies, and while I would like to reply to them all, there are a lot of drive-bys that make it difficult to do so. This will probably be my last response in this thread, but to those of you that respectfully disagreed with me such as Earthstrike and Gotchaye, thank you.
