I hate this guy and everything he stands for ... but freedom of speech
means protecting all speech -- and most especially the speech we find offensive ... because it's really f'ing easy to protect speech we all agree with (like "VT sucks"). So while I do crack a little bit of a smile at this guy being punched or tackled, when I step back and think about it I get pretty uncomfortable with the fact that in America we have somebody being chased away from speaking publicly ... he's only a few yards away from a wall dedicated to free speech. The streets of Charlottesville looked like Venezuela yesterday -- and that's not something to be proud of.
