Imus’ comments were stupid and offensive and whether he is on radio or not is not very important. But it is important to understand the thinking of the cultural elite. They sail under the banner of diversity and freedom of expression but when the egalitarian taboos are broken by the unfavored they will forget the all-ideas-are-equal shibboleth and act fiercely to silence the deviationism. Even Silverman is uneasy about this double standard--“I can say nigger because I’m liberal”--but she knows she can say it and even get Time’s approval for saying it. Cowboys and other non-politically correct groups cannot. That is what liberals call free speech.

Of course. According to liberals, the only free speech allowed is left-wing free speech.
