As of 1 PM PST

Yes (14,471)

No (8,658)

David Clennon compared Bush to Hitler, CBS should kick him off the air

We have free speech in America; people should not lose their jobs for their opinions



We'll send your vote to CBS.

On Sean Hannity's radio show, TV star David Clennon derided Bush by likening the current US \"moral climate\" to Nazi Germany under Hitler. Clennon is irresponsible and out of line! CBS should fire him and teach him a lesson!

TV stars don't have to agree with political leaders and actors are entitled to their own opinions. We are protected by freedom of speech, if you don't like what he says, don't listen, but he's got the right to say it! Don't Fire him!<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":" http:\/\/www.vote.com\/","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Please take 10 seconds to support our friend David Clennon, one of the most committed, progressive actors in Hollywood.
