Finding a person's views reprehensible is not sufficient grounds to strip their free speech rights.<br /><br />You don't support free speech unless you also support the same freedom of speech for everyone, even those you totally disagree with.<br /><br />I suspect that there's more to the kkk statue story -- that it was government funded, or on government property or some such detail which would knock the legs from a free speech argument. That detail is missing. Without that detail mocking the defense of the free speech rights of kkk members, however reprehensible their views might be doesn't really work.stevechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031509310091443835noreply@blogger.com
