Cowardice is killing freedom of speech

The more cowards like this MSNBC analyst let fear keep them from speaking out, the more we can kiss our freedom of speech goodby. Yet I suspect that cowardice is at least in part behind the fact that so many Leftists feel free to vent their vitriol against conservative Christians who, for example, may legally protest an art display defaming Jesus; while the same Leftists are so remarkably tolerant of radical Muslims who call for the murder of those who disrespect Muhammad.

It is only natural that someone would be afraid to speak out, but if they are part of the media and they let fear keep them from speaking out, they need to find other employment and let more courageous journalists fill their positions.

By contrast, see Michelle Malkin's blog today. Now that's courage :-)
