I guess now we see why there's a password protected group. Anyone who's up in arms about that just needs to come here and read these comments.
No one finds it a bit over the top that the judge can't simply throw out a question for discussion/debate? To start a conversation?
I find it an especially pertinent question on the heels of that persons anti Semitic remarks. She also just referred to the President as not human. Since when are we not supposed to question our policy makers? How else do we hold them accountable?
The entire situation is disturbing. We're going to silence and censure anyone who questions anything now? This is a VERY slippery and frightening slope.

Jeanine Pirro hosts a commentary and entertainment show. She is not a journalist, her goal is to increase ratings and advertising and she uses inflammatory rhetoric to do so.
She made comments questioning an elected Congresswomen's loyalty to the USA a based solely on her Muslim faith. Advertisers didn't like the response form the general public, with increased backlash following the murder of 49 Muslims at a prayer servicer by an avowed White Supremacist who targeted for their faith.
Advertisers pulled out their dollars - this was a business decision. She is still free to voice any opinion, but she is not being supported by advertising dollars to host a show.

There's hardly any discussion in here without snide remarks.
But there's been censorship as long as there's been ways to report. Bias, spins - you name it. The political correctness is really going to bite us in the ass in the end and I am concerned. Have been concerned for a long time.

She threw out a bigoted sentiment - that Muslims can’t both live by their faith and be Constitution-loving Americans - but phrased it as a question for plausible deniability. And who was she discussing or debating with? It was a monologue.
Omar’s remark was rightfully understood to be anti-Semitic. Pirro’s was no less Islamophobic. Omar should be questioned on her statements and policy positions, but there’s no need to question whether she believes in the Constitution because she chooses to wear a hijab.
Fox expressed disagreement with her remarks early last week, then chose not to air her after 50 Muslims were slaughtered while praying by an anti-Muslim white supremacist. She’s their employee, they’re free to censure her, but no one has silenced her - she’s free to make whatever gross remarks she wants, she’s just not entitled to do it on a Saturday night program.

Weird how the first page shows 7 posts by MOD and 0 by bj. Maybe that’s why it isn’t being said to bj.
