Freedom of Speech

The lefties are coming out strong and loud in support of Ward Churchill's right to say anything he wants in regard to how the victims of 9/11 deserved what they got and the U.S. deserves more of these attacks for its past and current actions. Many conservatives are reluctantly agreeing that his speech is and should be protected, but many are also asking if the same liberals would be so quick to come to his defense if he was shouting the notion that blacks deserved slavery and should be sent back to Africa, etc., etc. Somehow, I don't think so. The President of Harvard couldn't even get by with suggesting that women MAY be less adapt in the sciences than men. The resulting firestorm has Dr. Summers backing down on all fronts and he may lose his job before Ward Churchill. These are similar sides to the same issue.
