What's he complaining about? The ‘American Civil Liberals Union’ went to the US Supreme Court to support the rights of Nazis to march, give speeches, hand out literature and even wave their swastika. Those not recalling the actual events will surely recall them as parodied in The Blues Brothers. Liberals throughout the land defended the self-styled Nazis, (falsely) citing Voltaire: I detest what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Obama's own state's Supreme Court then ruled that even waving the swastika was protected First Amendment speech, not "fighting words" and let all proceed in Obama's own community. By their own explicit rules, even if we were Nazis that wouldn't be sufficient to stop us from speaking! What's become of the once lauded civility of liberals? Have they all forgotten their own pasts? They once supported free speech, but used SNL humor to smite a message they detested. Are they, and their SNL, too pathetic to do the same today?
