No, we wouldn't. We'd be calling for boycotts at worst, and the leftscum would scream that we'd be trying to "censor" Ward Churchill. But when actual politicians call for actual censorship, the leftscum can't see the difference.

Ok, I'm not going to disagree, but just asking businesses not to sell a book is perfectly within the rights of Free Speech from anyone. It may be asinine in this case, but founded on pure constitutional precepts.

When they use their position as gov't officials to push this, then yes, it's violation of free speech.

I agree with you completely about that. It was my understanding that these were legislators calling for an actual ban. However, if they are just using the word "ban" when calling for a boycott, then they are perfectly within their rights, just incredibly stupid.
