A Politician Who Actually Belives in Free Speech


Saying he believes in "giving everyone a fair shake," former Sen. John Edwards indicated Thursday he would not fire two of his campaign's bloggers, despite calls from a Catholic group that they be dismissed for blog entries the group viewed as anti-Catholic.

The two bloggers recently hired by the campaign drew fire from the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights for posts they had written on their independent blogs.



It has always been my belief that you should be able to say whatever you want in your PERSONAL blog without fear of being fired IF some "group" didn't like your viewpoint. I really respect former Senator John Edwards for embracing the freedom of speech concept.

HT to PolitiCalypso for making me aware of this important issue in her post War Against Bloggers.

- The Original Focus Of The War Was Not To Free The Slaves, But To Preserve The Union.
EHT has a lovely post Did Lincoln Make a Deal With God? at American Presidents Blog. I am not surprised that the majority of people today think that slavery was the cause of the Civil War (War Between the States or whatever other name you want to call...
