I really don't see this as an either/or situation.  Giving someone hell
for making bigoted, ignorant comments hardly constitutes censorship.  Yes,
I stand behind our Constitutional right to say stupid, even hateful, things,
but I don't intend to remain silent when I hear them.

I don't see the need to stand with either the anti-Semites or the censors.
