“MSNBC’s commendable canceling of its little-watched late Saturday afternoon program hosted by ranter Michael Savage, for wishing a caller would get AIDS and die (“You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How’s that?”), reminded us of two examples of hate speech from liberals who wished death upon conservatives. But they were not removed from their jobs by their employer.“

There seems to be a double standard. Michael Savage gets fired for talking back at an abusive caller whose words couldn’t be heard on TV. Nina Totenberg wished death on Senator Jesse Helms and he never did anything to her personally. Why is Nina still reporting for NPR?
