First Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with this. There's a difference between having the right to speak and having the right to be given a pulpit to shout profanity into the world.
It's totally fine to fight to remove sponsorship and such in order to limit the range that people like falwell and robertson can reach. It's ok to do that for TV shows and such that you don't like (and it often happens). Freedom of speech does NOT mean that you can say anything anywhere at any time. It's freedom of speech for George to set up this environment in the way he chooses.
We are not censoring ideas. We're trying to create a civil atmosphere where ideas can be shared openly. Limiting profanity does not censor ideas or points of view.
