Alan Dershowitz on Chick-Fil-A

At least Alan Dershowitz is still a liberal, in the good sense, not merely the "Old Left" sense. The whole Newsmax story is worth reading...

What distinguishes Dershowitz's commentary from all the other statements of support for Chick-Fil-A's and Dan Cathy's freedom of speech is the next to last paragraph.

"Ten or twenty years ago, the same people who are keeping these people out of the city probably would try to keep gay people out of owning restaurants."

What he said.

For the record, Alan Dershowitz doesn't know me, but I've been a fan of his since the early days when he worked with John Holt. (I have generally liked just about any book or person recommended by John Holt.)

P.S.: If you're planning to demonstrate support for freedom of speech at a local Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, and you don't mind opening your in-box to advertising, you might want to visit www.ShopAtHome.com/Chick-Fil-A and print some coupons.
