Oh no it wasn't. It was 7-2, with Thomas and Scalia dissenting. Thomas did

I agree.  Freedom of speech has to do with a group's interaction with
   the Federal Government (and states through the due process clause). 
   
I don't think I have a responsibility to make sure all of the KKK's speeches
   marches go on brilliantly...The government (simply a formal representative

THERE WAS NOTHING MISLEADING ABOUT IT.  Although you deleted the actual 
action, Mr. Agran's action for which he was arrested was voicing a request 
to be included in the debate.  Naturally, there is no such criminal charge 
entitled "demanding debate inclusion," so the police (some might give them 
another name for squelching someone's request for free speech :-)  ), so 
they labelled it something else.  Resisting arrest may be the only one that 
is actually accurate.  It is hard to see how someone speaking in a public 
place could be trespassing, and disorderly is in the eye of the beholder.
Mr. Barton's foolish post brings the words, "Get a life" to mind.

The pathetic thing (given the recent braggadaccio from Faust about his
being German and the proud son of a list of people who, unfortunately,
were frequently not German at all but Austrian and even English) is
that a lot of the names he sees in the media are probably German and
not Jewish at all.  Most Americans assume many German names are Jewish
names (names like Rosenberg, for example.)

They obviously have no clue, even where the people are of jewish
background as to what views they hold as individuals on issues of
zionism.

For example, there are entire segments of judaism who are strongly
anti-zionist for religious reasons (i.e. the messiah must come before
the state of israel can be re-united.) One such group recently took
out a full page ad in the NY Times condemning the existence of Israel,
signed by a Rabbi.

They are pathetic, pathetic people these revisionists. Fools of the
worst ilk.

Yes, that is what I suspected you would say - I'm right, they are  
wrong, so I don't have to play by the rules. 

Maybe you are right. Maybe they are wrong. But if you decide that this  
puts you above all rules and reasonability, you may risk losing much  
more than you gain.

Consider a member of the KKK reading your post proclaiming that you are  
war with them. If he believes what is to stop him from - lets say -  
shooting as after all it is a war and he just knows that he is right  
and you are wrong. Maybe he'll find a judge who will agree with your  
statement that this is war and hence that there was nothing wrong with  
him shooting you. At that point I'll challenge you to call this unjust  
- it wouldn't be by your standards.

The writer was clearly talking about the IMPLIED payout...The S&L crooks
ran up the losses tremendously right up to the end by paying themselves
huge bonuses and handing out great deals on loans to themselves and
friends alike...Then the government comes along and takes care of the
ripped off depositors...These were not normal losses in the practice of

I'm glad someone has finally decided to call there bluff and take them up on

... followed the section in which the original poster said that in
the course of the counter-demonstration, the protesters would attempt
to drown out any KKK speakers.  That is using their First Amendment
freedoms to deny those same freedoms to others.  And *that* is wrong.
Like it or not, the KKK does have a right to be heard.
