"Mandated politeness"- that's pretty much the rationale that was used for prosecuting Lenny Bruce, once a cause celebre of political liberals. Should we be surprised to see the same rationale now embraced by a faction that once argued for extending the limits of what is permissible speech? For political cynics like me, not at all. Likewise for the decidedly non-conservative Nat Henthoff, and although it is possible that he secretly sneers I always saw him cheerful when being interviewed.
