I don't listen to Franken, either. But he doesn't offend me like Coulter does.

There is no one else I have complained about to a network because I do believe in free speech. However, I do not agree with giving a bigot and racist a platform from which to spew her bile. So I used MY right to free speech to complain. It's their choice; they can turn off viewers who turn off their program or they can ban Coulter. No one's forcing them but I'll be damned if I'll sit idly by. If someone tells a joke that offends me, I don't laugh. I let them know it offends me. She offends me and that is no joke.
