Nazis are protected as they march through predominantly Jewish neighborhoods. Gays and lesbians defiantly, even militantly, advocate their positions. Conservatives, liberals, and libertarians engage in heated battle, but no group really thinks of silencing their opponents. Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, and Jews all openly seek converts without fear of retribution. Larry Elder, a very popular talk show host in Los Angeles may belong to the only group that faces serious opposition in the fight to gain a hearing for its views.
Elder is critical of welfare, affirmative action, and gun control.
He supports school vouchers. Elder has been stalked, threatened and boycotted. A group called Talking Drum Community Forum, which won't identify its membership or leaders, began approaching the corporate sponsors of his Los Angeles radio program and convincing them to withdraw advertising. Some two dozen companies pulled their ads, despite the fact that Talking Drum probably has no more than 30 members. We don't allow for a loyal opposition.
