Any time the far Left supports free speech over political correctness, something important is going on.
there are indeed sane leftists on this issue, though they are sadly few and far between. noam chomsky, normally delusional, is consistent and correct when it comes to free speech. heck, even the aclu defended the nazis right to march in skokie, illiois. but of course, the outcome-oriented folks -- the same ones who defend roe v. wade while decrying the "activism" inherent in assigning personhood to corporations -- seem to have the biggest bullhorns and the most sway among the liberal intelligensia.
