Did Spike Lee or Al Sharpton say the equivalent of "I hope you get 
AIDS and die"?  

People rant on Al Sharpton's comments all the time.  It's hard to get 
him fired from a major network talk show though, since he doesn't 
have one.

Liberals are edited too.  The Boston Globe recently spiked (no 
reference to Mr. Lee, or the TNN cable network intended) a 
Boondocks comic strip for left-leaning remarks they deemed 
offensive.
