Comments on: Free speech? No thanks, say airlines — unless it’s for us http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/free-speech-no-thanks-say-airlines-unless-its-for-us/ The last honest travel site Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robert Johnson http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/free-speech-no-thanks-say-airlines-unless-its-for-us/comment-page-1/#comment-5624 Robert Johnson Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:06:09 +0000 http://www.tripso.com/?p=5257#comment-5624 Anyone who would suggest that Free Speech is selective according to whom it offends is well Un-American. So NWA was offended? Tough Darts. I'm offended daily by what airlines do to customers should we close them down. The billboard Companies have in their contracts the right to reject an ad due to conduct that they deem inappropriate. . What IMO they do not have the right to due is succumb to a bully like Northwest Airlines, Or AA in the case of the billboard ad placed in DFW by AA's pilots union. Last timeI looked the Constitution was still the law of the land. NWA and the rest of the ATA apparently haven't managed to get it overturned YET!

Kudos to Northwest for having the guts to speak THEIR mind and wanting it down. And I don't see why a bus terminal should have to carry an ad crying how disgusting their buses are. Every person of low-intelligence out there should be reminded of their right NOT to speak. It's life...deal. Stupid is as stupid does…and these billboards and so-called ads ARE stupid.
