My only comment on this is what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said: "freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth."
UPDATE: ok maybe it won't be my only comment because here's an ominous quote that Rev. Al Sharpton reportedly said, "It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. This must be a walk that CBS now does. It must be a walk that others will do. Then we must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and what is not permitted."
- Once you decide that anyone can set a standard for allowed speech it's a slippery slope down to whatever you say that offends me can be squelched. And believe me, we're not that far off.
UPDATE II. Aram garners comments on the firing, and Michael Meyers says Let the Idiocy be Heard.

Yes, Imus is free to say whatever he wants. And his employer is free to fire him whenever they want.
