Lee, you nailed it! Reading this piece, and others recently, I've had the same though - these folks are truly reactionary. It's funny in a way. These would be the same people condemning Barry Goldwater in the 60s as reactionary. They are what they claimed he was. They are neither liberal nor progressive. And I believe they are blind to the fact that their approach to speech rights is likely to eventually come back to bite them in the ass, as it has most reactionary forces throughout history.
