dklassen: You're kind of hiding behind the word "far". How would you react if someone said "The far right hates individual freedoms and have been trying to squash all dissenting opinion in the name of security"?

Would you, or would you not jump to the defense of the Rush Limbaughs of the world?

A friend of mine who could very well be considered far left it quite well versed in the Constitution and clings to it dearly. He especially has a "fetish" for the 4th & 5th Ammendments in the way that the right is *characterized* having their for the 2nd.

[That being said, I'm dismayed at the indifference *many* liberals *in Washington* display towards the 1st Ammendment]
