Quote of the Day: Freedom of Speech

Very Voltairesque comment on the Chick-fil-A kerfuffle::
The government blocking a business from opening based on the owner's political views is a clear threat to everyone's freedom of speech—being unpopular doesn't mean you don't have rights. It's only by protecting the rights of those whose views we find odious that we can hope to secure them for ourselves.
And finally from a lefty publication, no less.( Check out the URL on that thing: "homophobes have rights too.") You will remember this.  As for the mayors of Chicago and Boston, they get the "dirtbag du jour" tag.  Shame on you.  

UPDATE: "Chicken Inquisition."  Heh.
