You really don't seem to get it, defending the right to speech is NOT the same as defending the content (though I understand that nowhere do they advocate violence to children)
Remember, Jodi, the *same* law that should be protecting their speech protects you and your allies from being prosecuted each time a gay is murdered or an abortion clinic bombed.
Actually, the tide of civil lawsuits against all sorts of organizations is rising. Aryan Nations was just ordered to pay some multimillion dollar fee because some woman was harassed or attacked or had her feelings hurt--not sure which--by some people she claimed were connected to or influenced by AN.
Actually, she got shot at and roughed up by AN members. (AN has a habit of disavowing relations with members once they get in trouble with The Elders of Zion.)
This woman and her daughter just "happened" to be far from home, out near the AN compound, and their car, they claim, just "happened" to backfire. I doubt the backfiring theory very much...none of my cars has _ever_ backfired, and I've been driving since 1968. I would bet a lot of money that this woman, a leftie simp-wimp, took a shot at the compound she hated so much. A pseudonymous person sent me a note on this woman and her plans, including this excerpt, which I agree with: "The fact the woman, supposedly a random passing stranger, intends to use the money and convert the compound to a 'Peace Center' makes me think the entire thing was a setup. " In any case, if she was roughed up, without provocation, then those who roughed her up are solely to blame. Suing AN was merely an example of "deep pockets" and "joint and several liability" doctrines, motivated by PC sentiments. The Southern Law Poverty Center routinely uses this tactic to silence those it doesn't like. I still say we should sue Operation Push for every asset it has.
