No shit, Jeffy. Did Mr. Paul ever say they weren't? Does the ACLU support Naziism? Do you have a goddamn brain? Supporting the free dissemination of humor of any sort is _not_, en oh tee, NOT, not in any way agreeing with the stereotypes involved. Not that I'd expect a moron of a yvoregnevna like you to be able to understand this, but one does not have to agree with the semantic content of a joke to find it funny. Goddamn idiots like you tried to censor Lenny Bruce. [Note: I'm not saying that YOU have tried to censor Lenny Bruce. Just goddamn idiots LIKE you.] Your brand of freedom seems to be freedom to do what Jeff Daiell finds acceptable, freedom to say what Jeff Daiell finds acceptable, freedom to agree with Jeff Daiell's Weltanschauung. Every time I think of so-called liberals like you, I want to throw up again and again and again. Your idiocy on the net is unparalleled. Go away. Why not just ruin a few more public mailing lists while you're at it? fc
