The left, not C-span or any panel it might pick, is the topic. And in 40 years of leftist activity in several different local, regional, and national organizations and reading thousands of left publications I have never encountered, in print or in person, more than a small minority who took an anti-porn or anti-sex position. There is simply no doubt that leftists who take an anti-porn position find themselves utterly isolated.
I haven't read Stan Goff on this closely yet, and I don't know whether he supports censorship or not. I don't, and on the whole I think what I describe as "The Party Line" of the left is a more or less correct line. But that it is THE LINE is fairly obvious to anyone who does not have their ego involved in being a minority.
