As I said in post 37. These kind of remarks never were considered free speech and rightly so.

This has nothing to do with “contemporary liberal quelching of free speech”.

Whether 50, 100 or 200 years ago, if someone said something like this about a girl, daughter, wife, mother he ended in front of your fist, gun or a court.

Callender wrote and said some pretty vicious, and untrue, things about Thomas Jefferson. Our second greatest POTUS stated that he would have never considered restricting Callender's right to speak.
