Honest discussions

I listened to Michael Savage on Monday afternoon. Don't often catch him, but that day I did and it was very interesting. He was interviewing Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The Republican party had brought him in as a "star witness" to refute the claims of Al Gore and global warming before Congress. He was met by Representative Henry Waxman and denied access to speak in front of Congress. Why????

Are we not open to honest discussion and debate? I thought we were a free society where different views are acceptable? Perhaps the science of either side of the debate is tainted by politics! It's very sad!

In this case I am not taking a side! However, I am taking the side of people having an honest discussion and getting fair coverage in it's reporting! Whether you hail from the "left", the "right" or in the "center" we all deserve to be heard and listen to the ideas of others! Don't settle for anything less!
