Freedom of speech is not limited just to not yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater. Obviously, that restriction is to prevent panic or riot. How long do you think Imus would get away with his hateful remarks if he were standing in the middle of Harlem?

If this was his first offense I'd say give him a two week unpaid furlough. It's not, he has a history of this, and it's time to square him away.We can not regulate morality but we sure as hell can regulate behaviour.We do it all the time and without regulation life would be a snake pit.

I'm a liberal but I'm also a realist.
