I must be getting more libertarian in my old age, but I wouldn't deny anyone's right to peacefully assemble provided they aren't advocating violence or government overthrow. The First Amendment is there for a reason whether we like the speaker or not.

My sentiments exactly. Further, anyone who thinks that leftists will be appeased once they establish their "right" to silence Nazis is a fool. You might as well try to appease the jihadis by tossing Israel overboard. It won't work.

Leftists have generally been successful in silencing opposition speech in the western world. How quick are college administrations to silence conservatives vs letting the most radical libs speak?

How quick are the courts to deny Christians the right to their beliefs vs Muslims or others?

How quick are the collborationists to condemn Bush for calling Muslim facists what they really are?

Denial of free speech is in full swing in America.
