Even the most LIBERAL get what those people in the Admin fail to grasp
From Roger Cohen, NYT (even though he DOES fantasize that there will be no return to tyranny in the Arab world):
Still, I defend the right of the video’s authors even if I loathe what they produced. The U.S. Supreme Court, in its 1969 Brandenburg v. Ohio decision, overturned the conviction of a Ku Klux Klan leader who had menaced political officials with violence, saying that “the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force.” As Glenn Greenwald wrote in The Guardian, “Obviously, if the state cannot suppress speech even where it explicitly advocates violence, then it cannot suppress a video on the ground that it implicitly incites violence.”The rich maelstrom of ideas in the United States is inextricably tied to this fundamental freedom. It cannot be compromised.
