I'm one of those dreaded "card-carrying members" of the ... ACLU, and I'll definitely stand up for the rights of some assholes to make anti-semitic comments before I'll line up with the assholes trying to shut up everyone with differing opinions. I think this is what Chris was talking about. >It proves the point that many on the net don't view >anti-semitism as an evil. They feel it should be tolerated. It does no such thing: take some logic classes. I personally view anti-semitism as evil, to say the least (I won't go into family history), but then I regard censorship as an evil too. Sometimes I make decisions based on the "lesser of two evils" principle. Think about it.
