Hentoff on Horowitz

[Justin Schwartz]

Charles' first order view does not imply suppressuion of itself. But his 
objection to defense of free speech for Nazis, whose first order view also 
does not iumply suppression of itself, is that views advocating suppression 
are not entitled to protection. That second order view does advocate 
self-suppression in light of Charles's advocay of oppression of Nazi speech. 
That's not a cheap point. It is a fundamental problem. --jks
