    Let's Not Forget...

    the censorship involved in closing the play about Rachel Corrie in New York, and the ongoing shutting down of speaking engagements that Mearsheimer and Walt are currently undergoing. Or how about the nutty historian who is in prison in Germany for the crime of denying the Jewish holocaust?

    The right has no problems with any of those acts of free-speech chilling and outright government censorship in the German case. Could it be that the right's problem is strictly one of anti-Muslim bias, and has nothing to do with defending free speech?
