re: #385 Anymouse
The slippery slope works the other way as well: Relentless haranguing by Bill O’Reilly on Dr. George Tiller led to his shooting.
Holocaust denialism falls into that area.
I dunno. I think those are a little different. The former is denying a historical event. The latter is calling a man who performed a legal procedure a murderer and likening him to Dr. Mengele as O’Reilly did if memory serves. It’s an interesting issue. I consider myself a strong supporter of the 1st but I think people who think there should be no consequences for saying outrageous crap are fooling themeslves.
