A Rush to the defence

Clear Channel, which broadcasts the "Rush Limbaugh Show" has leapt to the fat man's defence over his "phony soldiers" remark as regards members of the US military who do not share in his opinions (or deferments). According to the company's CEO Mark Mays "while I certainly do not agree with all views that are voiced on our stations, I will not condemn our talent for exercising their right to voice them". He seems to have forgotten about the Dixie Chicks episode. Or maybe the First Amendment only applies to "our talent".
