Limited Free Speech

For John, BLUF:  We believe in Free Speech.  Why do outsiders have to keep poking us, and insiders swoon?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The cartoon Doonesbury, which is currently in reruns in the Regional Newspaper, is drawn by Cartoonist Garry Trudeau.

From Brietbart is this article "VICTIM-BLAMING:  GARRY TRUDEAU BLASTS CHARLIE HEBDO’S ‘HATE SPEECH’".

Less than four months after Islamic fanatics stormed the Paris offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and butchered 12, while accepting the George Polk career award Friday, left-wing cartoonist Garry Trudeau blasted the dead with the claim that they had “wandered into the realm of hate speech.”  He also added that “free speech… becomes its own kind of fanaticism.”

Did I mention that Mr Trudeau offends people every day with his cartoon?

Here is Blogger and Law Professor Ann Althouse on the issue.

Blogger and Law Professor Glenn Reynolds just refers to Mr Trudeau as a Putz.  Fair enough and obscure enough.

Here is a cartoon on the issue.

You can't really have "Limited" Free Speech.
