I don't see the big deal here personally... it was wrong for her to lose her crown for her views, whether you agree with her or not. As much as it galls some "liberals," it's still ok for people to hold views contrary to theirs; in fact, I find it the height of hypocrisy that they attack this girl when "liberals" were protected bu thte same 1st Amendment decades ago. Larry King has always played favorites with his guest and he clearly doesn't like right-of-center Christians. Last, and most importantly, she's not the smartest girl in the world, but I think she's absolutely smokin' hot!!![]()

I don't know why she lost her crown but the pageant as a private entity has every right to strip her of it for a multitude of reasons including expressing views they deem as harmfull to their image.If she had said " I love Osama Bin Laden and everything he stands for" they wouldn't have had to allow that would they and keep her ?
The right to free speech is about the govt trying to control or stop speech it does not apply in this case.As a private group,the Miss Universe pageant has their rights as well to only have people they think are what they want to represent their organization image wise.
And on this idea that Liberals or leftitsts whatever you want to call them were protected decades ago ,history says otherwise.Not only were many in hollywood blacklisted but memebers of the communist party were imprisoned.The imprisonment should have been seen as a 1st amendement violation,but the hysteria of the times was such it wasn't.But the blacklisting was never deemed illegal and only public sentiment that it was wrong and some brave people like Kirk Douglas who used Dalton Trumbo's name as screen writer for "spartacus" was what got rid of the blacklists.
Oh and if Larry king is known to be hostile why would she agree to appear.It's not like she was being forced to go on.If she likes she can just fade away and make no more public appearences,her choice.But if she is going to be out there in the public arena ,she better be able to take the heat.:flame::1orglaugh
"Unfortunately, pornography has become mainstreamed -- it rushes at us through big screens, portable screens; soft-core porn is on mainstream TV cable stations, hard-core porn is just a mouse click away on the internet, and the envelope of what seems acceptable seems to get pushed farther and farther as more and more people are exposed to this material.
The result is that girls grow up in a culture where it is hard to have an innocent, healthy, normal view of themselves, how they should behave, how they should act, and how they should dress."

While I don't agree with her on gay "marriage", I also think you can't compare support for Jihad with being against gay marriage. Those are not in the same ballpark.
So you don't find it ironic that the so-called Champions of Free Speech when it comes to their art blackballed someone who didn't agree with them? I find that more than a little hypocritical. Many right-leaning actors and others in Hollywood have to hide their beliefs for fear of the same kind of discrimination that lefties did there in the 50's. Freedom to your own opinions and views, unless they are harmful of course, should not be reserved only for those who agree with prevailing opinion... that leads to mob rule and the death of individual rights, and is why the guys who wrote the Constitution sought to protect minorities from the tyranny of public opinion. :2 cents:

What you're missing C/S is it's not about what was said in terms what some find offensive.....it's the right of private entities to establish what they deem appropriate representation of their cause.
Sports leagues and organizations sanction their members for far less objectionable language.
The right to free speech simply means the government may not sanction you for most language not directly or proximately injurious to others. Has nothing to do with what private organizations or what the general public finds objectionable and/or ensuing the backlash one may experience as a result of making their private feelings public.:2 cents:
In fairness to Carrie Prejean....the goofy fucking idiot who asked the question apparently presupposed there was only one answer...the one "he" felt appropriate.
I love Larry King! Did she expect a TMZ interview? If you go on a serious show, expect some real Q&A and stick to you guns, but she just wilthered away on them. I hope her 5 minutes of fame are over do to a lack of spine.
this girl has done nothing wrong.
Every contestant who enters the Miss California pageant, including Carrie Prejean, must sign a statement confirming they have never appeared in any nude or semi-nude photos or videotapes.
