^ Freedom of speech only applies when dealing with the government. She was on private property, and therefore had no freedom of speech.

this is like arguing why you don't hear westcoast rappers on the radio. is that censorship too? is the government holding back their freedom of speech? afraid not
like someone said, she's a singer. i don't go to concerts to here the political ramblings of a singer i go for the music. that's like going to a Dentist and he tries to evaluate your mental state.

--- Quote from: Woodrow on July 20, 2004, 11:01:35 PM ---So, people countering your opinion with their own, differing, opinion and speaking with their check books is censorship? Nope. It's not censorship just because you misread your audience. When the GOVERNMENT says you can't do something under penalty of law, that's censorship. When private actors level sanctions/boycotts against other private actors, that's freedom of association.
