I’m basically with VDH. We can’t expect to police a free society of 300 million people such that no one ever does anything to provoke into mayhem people who want to be provoked, or who are backwards and ignorant, or both. It’s amazing the rapid about-face liberals have done on the First Amendment. Eugene Robinson, stalwartly for the Bill of Rights on the Ground Zero mosque, was on Morning Joe today urging that the government step in and stop Rev. Jones. I fear we’ll hear much more of this. I’m all for the battle for “hearts and minds,” and think Rev. Jones’ planned stunt was idiotic and offensive, but we can’t be initimidated into adopting what will effectively be Muslim blasephmy laws here in the U.S. More on all of this in my column today.
