MADAM ATTORNEY GENERAL, r ISN'T IT A CONFLICT OF Free Speech INTEREST FOR YOU TO BE IN We would never say an thing against free speech here at the Post. We're CHARGE OF AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PRESIDENT—yOUB. BOSS pretty close to absolutists on the desirability of unrestrained liberty of —WHEN YOU TALK WITH THE expression. But there are certain arguments against free speech that must * MAN NEARLY EVERY DAY? be acknowledged, as well as some related issues. 1 First, the fact that speech should be permitted does not mean that it should be welcomed. One noted patron of free speech wrote that even to debate certain issues was to lose one's humanity; yet leapt to the defense of one who stood to be penalized for entering that debate on the inhuman side. There is no contradiction; by opposing speech we need not cham­ pion its suppression. One can respond to hateful ideas with due contempt rather than with a muzzle. MADAM, IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY Second, free speech as an ideal applied to one's enemies can be CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN yOUR 1 GUESS IF difficult to argue for among people who lack that freedom themselves.

LOOKING There is always a decent argument for advocating a higher standard, HARD ENOUGH! even if it means standing alone; one need not be dragged down to the level of one's enemies. But as a practical matter, it is more difficult to convince someone to give up a weapon when disarmament is unilateral. So when it comes to, say, protesters acting up over an affirmative action debate, we have to look at this with some care. First, are the demonstrators PERSPECTIVE actually seeking to censor anyone, or just express their contempt for another's speech? (While a few arguments against affirmative action may bear consideration, we think contempt the only proper response to the Osco and the rest of us racist sophistry of a Charles Murray.)
