Okay the kneejerk reactionists are at it again and so stupidly playing into the hands of the neo-cons. The latest installment to the cultural trainwreck known as Ann Coulter,is that some NewJersey democrats are trying to get her book banned from bookstores. This is a stupid move on the part of the left because now they are parotting the same behavior usually reserved by rightwingers, to shut out any dissenting voice(who do they think they are Fox News and the Bush administration). Your humble libertarian servant the Evil Genius feels that no matter how morally repugnant and wrong and hypocritical Ms.Coulter is, she deserves the right to free speech. Now I have the right not to buy her book or listen to her but I will never and "we" should never try to shut her up. I do not agree with Ann but I will defend her right to say what she says because if its Ann today it will be us tomorrow.
Even though she said this last year, "Liberals are always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. ... Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment," Coulter said during an Oct. 21, 2005, speech at the University of Florida. Well.....lets be better than her.
