- His assertion that Conservatives are the single and only Bastion of First
- Amendment Protection *is* stupid. Such obviously false nonsense deserves to be
- challenged.
-
- Want a few whacks? "Conservatives" who have advocated censorship? Ok.
- lessee..... Ronald Reagan, Jesse Helms, George Bush. How about the
- flag burning bullshit of the '88 presidential campaign? Bush's abortion
- counseling gag rule?
-
- The point of this fairly trivial excercise is to demonstrate that Conservatives
- are *not* immune to censorship's lure.
-
- I do, btw, support his right to post such inane bullshit. I even spent some
- years actively defending his right to spout off like a moron. Of course, if he
- hangs his peepee out like that, well, someone's gonna step on it.
