THE TWO-EDGED SWORD: Lawyers have lodged a complaint for “inciting hatred” against Dutch politicians and press figures who called Pim Fortuyn an extremist, fascist, etc., claiming that those characterizations led to his death. (Via loudmouths).

I don’t approve of “hate speech” laws, but if you’re going to have them, they must be enforced evenhandedly. Which is why I hope SFSU will enforce its policies as strictly against the palestinian rioters as it would against, say, someone who made anti-black or anti-gay remarks.
