I actually consider the concept of "hate crime" a violation of free speech because it discriminates against a criminal based on his views.

More speeches too.

Examples of why free TV matters: Freedom of speech.

In terms of cold and sterile data (which I find to be useful) he simply worked harder to get in front of the electorate.All reports state that he gave about 300% the number of speeches as his competitor.

I believe in freedom of speech as much as the next guy, but like any other freedom, its not absolute.

If you are a great public speaker and someone wants to hire you to give a lecture or speech, that's one thing, but when you sell tax-deductible cruise ship seminars to Somalia then you become a guru-pirate!
