Why read it?
1 author picked HATE as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have been puzzled over the progressive left’s calls for governmental censorship for hate speech that they abhor, when they have so often been the victims of such governmental campaigns against subversive speech.
Nadine Strossen, the former national president of the ACLU, whom I have long called “The First Lady of Liberty,” has provided very strong arguments against such progressive calls for censorship. I love how Strossen, a true liberal in her own right, turns the tables on her more extremist partisan colleagues and makes a very good case for the old adage, “Not Censorship, but More Speech”!
From David's list on freedom of speech history and purposes.
