Journalism: Southwest Air, banning free speech

MSNBC reports that a woman was banned from her flight home from L.A. to Oregon because she wore a t-shirt depicting George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice over a caption that said (apparently) "Meet the Fuckers" (in a vulgar spoof of the similarly named movie title). She covered the shirt for the first leg of the flight, but it was visible during a stopover in Reno. Southwest Airlines apparently does not believe in free speech, but does believe in mob rule, because it pulled the woman only because of complaints from other un-American non-believers in free speech -- that is to say, hypocrites.
