Umm, who (or whom) did she silence?  DePetro was fired before they 
even got a second set of comments from her.  Her first comment was 
very mild and non-commital.  She didn't get into 'giving a speech' 
mode till much later.

Also, I find this entire thing really bizarre.  I am not a fan of 
hate-speech by anyone, right wing or left wing, and although most of 
what's on WRKO is from the right, it's pretty consistent.  So getting 
rid of DePetro when others on the station say similar things just 
mystifies me.  I wish there were some standard of what is crossing 
the line.  I wish I knew what the line is.  I wonder if there's more 
to this story than meets the eye-- maybe they had wanted to get rid 
of him, as somebody suggested earlier, and this just gave them an 
excuse.  But it wasn't Grace Ross's doing.
