144. Guess what? Civil rights aren't just for "our sort of people"

There is a very long history in American jurisprudence of people defending the civil rights of
people they wouldn't have over for dinner. Or who wouldn't have *them* over for dinner.

From John Adams (accused British soldiers in the Boston Massacre), to
the ACLU (Illinois Nazis vs. the city of Skokie), to Sabin Willett (prisoners at Guantanamo).

I wouldn't defend Razzano as a person. I would, however, defend his rights no matter how odious his ideologies.

See: Goose and gander, sauce for.

I'd never OC at a demo, and I'd advise against anyone doing so at an OWS event. You might have the right to do it, but that
does not mean that you *should* do it. Capisce?
