Bill Maher was practically drawn and quartered for what he said regarding the cowardice of the terrorists. I didn't agree with all of the negative attention at the time, and still don't, but he's a big boy and he makes his living in an industry that puts him out there where he has to face the consequences of his actions. The same goes for Coulter and Imus. I totally disagree with what Imus said, am very offended by it and yet I stand by his right to say it. I also stand by his employer's right to call him to task, and the public has every right to speak out as well. I also think we have the right, if not duty, to point out the hypocrisies of people like Bryant and Sharpton.
That said, I think this is waaaay overkill. We've all heard worse on the Howard Stern or Bob and Tom shows. Hell, we've heard worse trash-talking in the NBA.
