CONTRARIAN – Slate “Press Box” columnist Jack Shafer, “In Defense of Inflamed Rhetoric: The awesome stupidity of the calls to tamp down political speech in the wake of the Giffords shooting”: “For as long as I’ve been alive, crosshairs and bull’s-eyes have been an accepted part of the graphical lexicon when it comes to political debates. Such ‘inflammatory’ words as targeting, attacking, destroying, blasting, crushing, burying, knee-capping, and others have similarly guided political thought and action. Not once have the use of these images or words tempted me or anybody else I know to kill. … Any call to cool ‘inflammatory’ speech is a call to police all speech, and I can’t think of anybody in government, politics, business, or the press that I would trust with that power.” http://slate.me/e8by02

He has a minute point in protecting speech, but I feel it is used as a pseudo defense instead of as an extension of liberty. If he protects this, would he protect a craigslist ad calling for his termination? His “black and white” philosophy says he should.
Like all things living, speech has evolved. And so should our understanding of the freedoms we wish to protect.
