 At the risk of being captious...


(remember Bungle is watching)

"Donahue is more representative of talk show hosts than liberals."

Then I would argue that Donohue and gang subverted me and many other young conservatives long ago and now that he is no longer necessary to the Left's agenda he is easily discarded.

"And while civil libertarians are more common on the left than on the right,"

Define civil libertarian then. The ones I know are far to the right on everything except for social issues; so to suggest they can be found in greater numbers on the left seems like specter.

"...the left has its share of censorial ideas. It's the left who came up with speech codes, after all, and there's implicitly an element of censorship in hate crime legislation."

But I happen to agree with that one.

"Of course, even civil libertarians do not necessarily argue that the people whose constitutional rights are being trampled deserve to be given a platform."

What people are you referring to?

>Who is going to take a Holocaust denier seriously?

Ask your buddy, Mel.

Again, that is his dad. Has Mel ever denied the Holocaust? NO! He got drunk one night and said some shit he regretted and more than likely did not mean.

"Even the Ancient Greeks knew that the earth was a sphere."

Who told them? Zeus? You cannot prove it. You can only point to science. What is science except for something we've all been indoctrinated into believing. I believe the earth is round...when it suits me to believe so.

"I'm not sure making a fool of him is the best approach. It can give us a false sense of complacency. Remember how we treated Hitler at the time?"

Yeah, everybody but Churchill and the Three Stooges ignored him. Why not give Ahman a platform? Then we can strike down his ideas and the kids in Iran can see that we are the good guys on YouTube.

">Sure you didn't. You have two hetero parents.

What's that supposed to mean?"

It means that since you grow up in a traditional home that you don't care about the kids who get raised by creeps. I will encourage my kids to pick on these adoptees.

">You are giving them the power to decide what the
>masses get to hear.

What's your alternative?"

I don't offer solutions...merely complaints.

"They do, but extremists now have the Internet."

What's that supposed to mean? Ha! just kidding.
