I have no problem with the constitution and believe everyone has the right to speak their mind. That being said, with rights come responsibilities. He should be held accountable for what he says. That is part of what he is paid to do, speak publicly. As am I. If I were to speak in front of my class about my local black women's basketball team the way he did, and people took offense (and boy would they) my boss would then have the responsibility to decide if what I am saying represents the message she wants given. Did I have the right to say it? Sure. Do people have the right to chastise me for it? Sure that is their right as well. If free speech is a right, then I have the right to say how I feel about him being paid by a company to say what he says.

To say people can do/say whatever they want because it is a constitutional right and not be held accountable for it is wrong. I have the right to bear arms, but once I use those arms I am responsible for the results. Rights and responsibilities go hand and hand.
