>>I think the more interesting aspect of the responses on DU was the notion that the offending posts were made by some right wing trolls who should have no free speech rights; therefore their identities should just be turned over.

IOW, free speech (and privacy) rights only apply when the speaker/poster articulates the correct speech and ideas; i.e. hard left.<<
