    Conservatives do not tolerate dissent among their ranks. We saw this with Joe Walsh. We're seeing it now with Craig Silverman. In the eyes of conservatives, these people are 'scum' for defying the conservative echo chamber.

    I can see how it might not be popular to have a host parroting the left's talking points on a conservative talk show.

    There is no evidence provided that criticism of Trump had anything to do with anything. Do liberals even know what evidence is? They provide none here, none in the impeachment clown show, none before their collusion witch hunt, its a pattern of stupidity...

    Who was it that just got fired for revealing that NBC held back an entire investigation about one particular Democrat darling who had close ties to Bill Clinton? Sexual abuse of young women.:).

    If it went down like he said there is far more to this story. If you want to be on the air you either need to have so many loyal listeners that firing you is a bad business decision or you stay with in your program managers guide lines. In the end this is most definitely not a freedom of speak issue like Silverman said. He had the right to say what he wanted but you must also be willing to face the consequences.

    The host went on the air that day talking about how he was going to be making appearances on other stations, which he isn't allowed to do per his contract.

    His station management called his bluff and he was fired mid show-which isn't unheard of in radio.

    Search TERF on google news. There are dozens of stories on this alone in the news feed. This is trans activists attacking feminists and it is a bloodbath.

    Another flash point is black activists attacking white feminists and also infiltrating the LBGT movement.

    The Women's March had an all our war with Muslims in their ranks who hate Israel. This has been no secret.

    Very interesting how you talk about that guy "defying the conservative echo chamber".

    So you admit that guy is not a conservative.

    Yet they cry freedom of speech all the time. That firing was as unprofessional as it comes.

    I live in the greater Denver area, and for many years Craig Silverman has been known to us as being one of long-time mouthpieces for the hyperliberal Left, everywhere in the Denver-Boulder corridor. He's no better and no worse than any of the rest of them -- with which the entire State of Colorado is continually infested as the Lib sewage from California continues to pour in everywhere in the Rocky Mountain West, just as it has since the early 1990's....

    Don't worry too much about Silverman... I'd anticipate that he'll have a microphone, at another radio station, to babble into before the end of the year.... :blahblah:

    Oh, and the Denver Post? One of the most dependably hyperliberal rags still owning printing presses in the United States. I quit reading its bilge decades ago....

    Who from the Trump administration fired him? Your link to your claims aren't supporting your accusation.

    We aren't generalizing, are we, about feminists from the battle between some feminist activists and trans activists?
    "Flash point?" Of what? We're talking about darn few people.
    Women's March, feminist activists, TERF, trans activists, and on and on ... these people are a tiny minority. One thing I do know is that women as a whole are paying much closer attention to their rights. Plenty of women would say they're not feminists and in the same breath say they aren't going to put up with discrimination.

    ROFLMA.... right.... You say that with a straight face in a world where men are demolishing records in WOMEN's sports, where speech laws are arising all over the western world forcing citizens to acknowledge trans men as women, where more and more women are being forced to share shower facilities with men and where boys are dressed up as girls to do strip teases in gay night clubs. It may be a tiny minority but my God they have a massive amount of power.

    Times are changing everywhere, including Colorado. Get used to it. Our time has passed.

    Things look bad from over here
    Too much confusion and no solution
    Everyone here knows your fear
    You're out of touch and you try too much

    Yesterday's glory won't help us today
    You want to retire?
    Get out of the way

    Steppenwolf

    They plan to replace us and get rid of our social policies. The Orange Oaf is your last gasp.

    Yet another poster trying to have us believe that freedom of speech is the right to spew whatever nonsense you want during your working hours and be paid for it regardless of the damage to your employer.

    That didn't work during the faux Kaepernick outrage, still doesn't work now.

    if I bashed my company in public I would be fired the next day. Who do you work for and what world do you love in where you think you have the right to bash your own employer and not face Consequences?

    Yup. Exactly. If I were back at my civilian job I had, and I bashed my company, I'd have a meeting placed on my calendar for 4:30PM that day with our managing Director and I'd be given the boot.
