Kathy,
Chris Hayes most certainly does have the right to say what he wants - everybody does. If we do not defend Chris Hayes' right to publicly declare and reveal himself to be a worthless, stinking pile of excrement by thoughtlessly denigrating the men and women who bravely and selflessly died for our continued freedom, then we dishonor their hallowed sacrifice, as well.
I am tired of everyone wearing their sensitivities on their sleeves. Let everyone freely speak their mind for everyone else to hear and understand ... then I can decide whether there is any merit in what they have to say or disdainly ignore them as something less consequential than what I scrape off the bottom of my shoe. The proper response to the likes of Chris Hayes is to promptly turn our collective backs on him and allow him to wither away into obscurity.
Personally, Chris Hayes has proven to me that he is not worth one more second of my continuing consideration; however, his right to speak his mind is of inestimable value ... because it is indistinguishable from my right ... your right ... to say what I (you) will as a citizen of the United States of America - the greatest country that has ever existed on this planet.
Best regards,
B.
