Ted, De Genova is a professor at a prominent Ivy League university. The students he teaches and influences over there grow up to become the future leaders of American institutions. How many do you think he's affected with his treasonous views? So he isn't as prominent as Coulter, but that doesn't make his views any more excusable or less "dangerous." The ONLY reason why I tolerate his views is because he hasn't acted on them and tried to create the "million Mogudishu" scenario himself. Thanks to the 1st amendment, we have a free marketplace of ideas. Like Coulter, De Genova is just another vendor in this marketplace. It shouldn't matter whether Coulter is more successful at selling her ideas than he is. You are talking about throwing a person in jail just because her ideas are both popular to the public and highly disagreeable to you. By that standard, lots of people, including De Genova, should be sharing that same jail cell. Then we will have succeeded in making a complete mockery out of the 1st amendment. Tenchusatsu
