    Why do many Americans despise liberals?

    Because of stupid shit like this, that's why. The guy made an offensive joke. The PC police were notified, a huge deal was made out of it, and for what? Why is everyone always for free speech until something is said that they disagree with? I don't know who to be angry at! Some guy on the radio makes a racist, offensive joke. Well, it's racist and offensive to some people at least. Maybe even most. Maybe even all! Why don't these people just turn the station, and problem solved! I guess that would be too easy. It's so much better to say "This guy is saying stuff that I don't like. Instead of not listening to him, I want to make sure NO ONE listens to him!" It's a disgusting attitude. Remember, it was a bad joke. Anyone could have made the mistake, we all do stuff like that from time to time. Don't we?
