MoveOn.org Petition For General Batiste

CBS fired General Batiste for making a commercial in which he criticizes George W. Bush's handling of Iraq. If he had made a commercial that supports Bush, the hypocrites at CBS would never have considered firing him. It part of the "IOKIYAR" double standard.

MoveOn.org is fighting back with a petition:

Subject: Help Stop Censorship at CBS

Hi,

Remember when shock-jock Don Imus used racist and misogynistic terms to refer to a women's college basketball team? Well, it took CBS two weeks to fire him for that but it only took them TWO DAYS to fire a respected General from Iraq for speaking out against the president on the war.

CBS shouldn't be censoring or firing people for speaking their mind. I signed a petition urging CBS to re-hire General Batiste -- can you join me at the link below?

There's more information on the firing on that page, too.

Thanks!
