I don't think that Chuck's pointing out the tactical meaning of publishing 
Fischer's remarks is equivalent to his advocating censorship.

I think Chuck was exactly right about how publishing such tripe is in fact 
a way of censoring (by pretending to do the opposite) rational and 
principled opposition to the war and to the U.S. support of Israeli policy.
