Armageddon is right around the corner. The New York Times has distributed copies of a DVD ad that is critical of radical Muslims. Obsession: Radical Islam’s War With The West was distributed with the NYT with the blessing of the paper saying that to not carry it would restrict the sponsor’s right to free speech. In other news the Raleigh News & Observer had about 50 cancellations. This should be a lesson to any business. If someone is threatening a boycott or if they say they will never buy your product again, then the numbers here say it all. Frack Em’! It’s refreshing to see the NYT side with an advertisers right to free speech; however, I have a feeling they didn’t want to have to refund the money for not distributing the DVD. Does this mean that the NYT is becoming more Asian by putting success and profit above the whiners? It’s certainly a better direction than I would have expected from them. I must say that the Raleigh News & Observer has quite a few idiotic rednecks in its readership.

“I cannot believe that I was sent the hate-inflaming, fear-mongering video disk `Obsession’ in my newspaper!” Margaret Lewis of Durham, N.C., wrote to The News & Observer. “What will you enclose next? KKK robes?”

Yes, Margaret, if the KKK wants to pay money to stick robes in the newspaper you had better bet anyone with the slightest understanding of capitalism and love for America will take the money. Freedom of speech is what sets us apart from the rest of the world and even hate speech is protected under our law. If you don’t like it pack your bags and move to Pakistan or Russia. Ms. Lewis is more than likely someone who will be complaining when the Chinese or Vietnamese take her factory job away. If you don’t put hard work and profit on the list of priorities someone else will and more than likely they’ll be Asian. Hope you’re ready to work in our sweatshops Ms. Lewis.
