Dangerous Precedent

A movement to block Rush Limbaugh's potential purchase of the St. Louis Rams.

Is this an attempt at thought-policing?

Sure, Limbaugh is provocative and loud. But so what? Who wants to live in America where you silence guys like him. Not me.

This is the second time this year, I've been shocked by the bold economic attempts to thought-police private political opinions. First was the Whole Foods President who wrote an op-ed about healthcare and as a result his stores were boycotted. Second is a movement to not allow Limbaugh to make an offer on an NFL team. What's up with this? Is Limbaugh worse than Michael Vick? Surely not. Yet, Vick is allowed a second chance.
