She's a commentator. Commentators begin discussions. They throw ideas out for Us to ponder. Without that, we might as well just have government run media as our neighbors in China have. We need free thought. We need to question. It's our right. When that stops, we no longer have a free society.
She can commentate and throw out thought provoking questions to her heart’s content without couching bigotry in the form of a question. Fox is a business and she’s losing advertisers. Them having (minimal) standards for their on-air hosts is nowhere close to having government run media or losing the right to question.
It's a very short skip to it. Who's going to risk their job anymore to try to provoke thought? No one.

Everyone will toe the party line, the progressive line, to save their own skin. All there needs to be is one example. We are accumulating more every day.

Everyone can RIP Christianity up one side and down the other. There are mad slayings is Christians all over the world every day. Where's the outrage? Where's the coverage? No where because it doesn't fit the progressive agenda.
People manage to go to work and not make bigoted statements or pose questions on a bigoted premesis every single day. Doesn’t seem like something that should be very hard.

Fox’s entire opinion line up doesn’t toe anywhere close to a progressive line. The only two currently losing advertisers - Jeanine and Tucker - are in that spot because of bigoted and/or gross statements they’ve either made or that have surfaced recently. And again, even if Fox decided they wanted their opinion division to toe a progressive line, that’s nowhere close to government controlled speech or news, that’s their right as a company.

It would be entirely fair to debate and discuss Islam. Similarly, it would be ridiculous and bigoted to try to claim Pirro can’t appreciate and adhere to the Constitution because she’s a practicing Catholic.

Both are guiding moral principals for the adherents of their respective religions on how to correctly live and practice their faith.

True - as far as that goes.
Sharia is so much more though.

It’s entirely possible for a Muslim to personally adhere to sharia while not wanting to impose it on others, just as Pirro can adhere to Catholic teachings while not thinking birth control should be illegal or that anyone who wants a divorce should need a Catholic annulment.

It's usually like that
If they have their own group why flood this one with their crap?
Seriously? Only the topics you like aren’t “crap”? Maybe you should get over yourself. This is an open forum. Don’t like it? Make your own group.

What was the topic again?
