If Sarah Palin is going to give a speech saying Obama wants death panels, the media should be looking for and reporting on proof of this notion and she should be held accountable for what she says. Again, not censorship - lie containment.

If I remember right, Kirk Cameron did engage in a televised debate against some evolutionists? (I'm assuming thats a term) and he got fairly hammered on it, so I give him points because he's not backing down on his beliefs just like Darwin didn't back down on his or Galileo didn't back down on his.
Sarah Palin has been heavily countered and contained by the media, by opposition members of the party.
The concept of one society one belief died a while ago when the church lost its absolute power within society.
