    Kincaid drew a similar distinction in an interview with Salon, saying he favored the FCC's monitoring of broadcasts for sexual indecency, but that he would not support similar measures against racist speech.

    "Then you're getting into political speech," Kincaid said, "and what one defines as, quote, 'racism.' How do you define the term? I don't want the FCC to define that."

    This is a joke, right? "What one defines as quote, 'racism,' should be pretty self-evident to anyone over the age of six. Does Kincaid really believe that we're better off if the word "tit" is never uttered on the radio, but we'll devolve into anarchy if Rush Limbaugh can't call Halle Berry a "Halfrican American." Really?
