A BlogTalkRadio show host could be facing a legal crisis. While we’re all about free speech, and BTR hosts can pretty much talk about everything, sometimes a host goes a little too far in the eyes of listeners, readers or activist groups. You see, Doug Gibbs, host of Political Pistachio, didn’t pull any punches on his blog and radio show when offering his views regarding gay marriage. Much of the language was harsh and people took offense. It appears tolerance isn’t one of Doug’s strong suits. As a result Doug pulled his show from the air and ceased blogging because he’s afraid of legal action.
Doug now admits to a knee jerk reaction by pulling his show, and despite threats of legal action, is ready to talk about what is happening. Tonight he will be a guest on the Andrea Shea King show at 9:00 p.m. EST to discuss why he went dark, why he is receiving legal threats and whether or not he will return to the airwaves.
Whether you agree with Doug’s views or not, there’s a lot more to this than a bigoted, right wing point of view. What can we say on the air on our own radio shows and on our blogs without being threatened with legal action? Will this lead to another Code of Conduct debate?
It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I don't know the gentleman in question, and do not believe I have listened to his shows in the past. However this smells of the big stick approach at silencing dissent.
