[Fwd: RE: [Peace-discuss] Fw: Lou Dobbs is dangerous]

[C. G. Estabrook]

Instead of saying to CNN, "I want Lou Dobbs to be taken off the air," you should 
say "I want Chomsky (or you, or me, or Paul Mueth...) put on the air."

The cure for bad speech is more speech, not shutting people up.  --CGE

     Banning speech and requesting that such speech does not have a
     hyper-exulted platform to amplify it are two very different things..



     Nobody is saying Lou Dobbs doesn't have a right to say whatever he
     wants.  He has that right.  However, no person is guaranteed the
     right to have a nationally televised show to promote their views and
     perspectives on any topic.

     Solidarity,
