Lest you forget Ed there have been plenty of politically correct left
wingers pushing to ban books like "Of Mice and Men", "Adventures of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn", and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for offensive words,
ideas, and pedaling a "softer view of slavery" among other reasons.

I also find it hypocritical that Cliff is against burning books. Him being
a big proponent of freedom and all.


Those two sentences do not correlate.

It's merely another legal form of freedom of speech AFAICT. Just so
long as the book you're burning legally belongs to you.


Ah, the disclaimer. Are you then suggesting that Cliff is only against
book burning one one variety? If so where do you get that impression for
he hasn't said or implied any such thing. To the contrary, Cliff, and
most of the voices here, have been pretty clear in their unconditional
distaste for censorship.

If you have something to say then do so directly. Implying ulterior
motives, or making **** up like the regular trolls, is beneath you.

Neither the far left or the far right has much tolerance for freedom of
speech.


On this we can definitely agree.
