Is defending free speech fundamentalism to be compared to people who burn down embassies for perceived slights to their faith now? Is this what the proud principles of the left have come to, total inversion?

I just hope that, if ever the time comes, when your free speech is shouted down with death threats and the arsonists are at your door, that people of good judgement will see the case for what it is, and be able to muster up something better in your defense than an apologia for the people with the pitchforks and torches, and half baked "dorm room at five in the morning" philosophical mutterings about horrid free speech fundamentalists.

For shame!

The US has freedom of speech but the media is muzzled. The UK does not have complete freedom of speech but we seem to find out more about what is going on from the UK media.
