Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage
Just wanted to say the following.

I think most folks here know I can lose it when it comes to Nazi bastar/ people. I detest all they stand for. I detest their politics, their world view. However, I would speak on behalf of the individual rights of Nazi Americans or Canadians. Not because they are Nazis, BUT because they are individuals. I recall many years back that the ACLU--which I understand at that time was composed of lawyers--a high percentage of whom were Jewish, and that the organization argued on BEHALF of the right of a Nazi group to march in a town in one of the northern states. The ACLU's rationale was that if Nazis could be prevented from marching to seek redress of grievance, then so could any other group be prevented from accessing that right.

Night all.
