The RNC and "free speech" hypocrisy

By Richard Lee Dechert , Free Speech Zone

As a member of Veterans for Peace, the Minnesota ACLU and other “peace and justice” organizations, I will not march with the RNC Welcoming Committee, Students for a Democratic Society, or any other entity that intends to “shut down” the RNC.(1,2) Much has been said about the right of marchers to protest the policies and actions of the Republican Party. However, virtually nothing has been said about the right of that party or any other party to hold its convention without unlawful disruption. The silence on that issue seriously undermines the constitutional credibility and impartiality of the “peace and justice” community. MORE »

Free Speech Makes for Strange Bedfellows

Today’s Pioneer Press (Thursday, October 04, 2007) on pages 1B and 6B took me quite aback.
