Krauthammer - Jihad against the jihadists

[zbdent]

Rather amusing - printed in the Akron Beacon Journal Monday, after appearing in Washington Post Sunday.

CK conveniently neglects to mention the fact that the ACLU defended the neo-Nazis in the march that he refers to.

Portions:

WASHINGTON - In 1977, when neo-Nazis decided to march through Skokie, a heavily Jewish suburb of Chicago, there was controversy as to whether they should be allowed. I thought they should, because neo-Nazis are utterly powerless. Had they not been -- had they been a party on the rise, as in late-1920s Germany -- I would have been for banning the march and for practically every measure of harassment and persecution from deportation to imprisonment. A tolerant society has an obligation to be tolerant. Except to those so intolerant they themselves would abolish tolerance.
