JK"If it were your daughter who played on the Rutger's basketball team, would you still be chuckling? Would you still be saying 'hey, it's America, he is free to express his opinions."
Barry - My answer is, I may not like that it was said and I may not agree with the statement, but I would absolutely still believe that he was free to express his opinions - as we all are. With regard to Imus, at the end of the day, his employer may not want him to express those opinions in the workplace (which in his case is on the air) and his employer is free to take any action it wishes to discipline him for those comments. As noted above, the Constitution on protects you from government interference with your right to expression. Your employer (assuming you work for a private employer) does not have to afford you any free speech rights.
