<..."I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." This is not the easy path to take, and I am not always up to the task--but I do try. This is the rough and untrodden road a liberal must take. Conservatives have it much easier--you can just turn off your hearing aid.

For a great example of the tolerance of liberals to conservatives speaking their opinions, try giving a conservative talk on a college campus. It is suggested that you print your flyers on asbestos.

Hearing aid, eh? Smile when you say that, sonny.

Speaking of folks that leftists would love to muzzle--

Rush Limbaugh has done just fine totally deaf, thank you, although his hearing implant surgery was apparently successful. Starting on Monday, the top conservative talk show will be hosted by a genuine cyborg!
