@kirstenpowers10 Bashir argued for something harmful to happen to a specific person; Robertson was expressing an opinion. Big difference.

@kirstenpowers10 Cuz Robertson just upheld tradional beliefs. He didn't say someone should shit in anothers mouth. Kinda different, no?

@kirstenpowers10 they are two separate issues….context matters

@kirstenpowers10 Bashir was on the air. Shitting in Palins mouth is not a long held religious belief. And we didn't call for his firing.

@kirstenpowers10 One difference between the cases is that professional standards of journalism don't apply to a redneck reality TV star.

“@kirstenpowers10: why do the ppl who wanted Bashir fired now say firing someone is attack on freedom” you really don't see a difference?

@kirstenpowers10 Do you really think it's fair to compare Bashir's gross unfounded remarks with Phil's coarse but Biblical based remarks?
