America’s first and most fundamental freedom is under concerted
attack...

This is a month in which the president of the United States has co-
sponsored a UN resolution with the police state of Egypt to ban speech
that defames religion; a month in which the Democratic Party has
placed an amendment on a defense appropriations bill to make anti-gay
speech a thought crime, and in which the White House has launched an
all-out attack on the Fox News Channel because it didn’t like what Fox
commentators were saying. And instead of reacting with appropriate
horror at an assault on the free press not seen since the days of
Joseph McCarthy, a leading “liberal” pundit, TIME columnist Joe Klein
has called Fox’s behavior “seditious” and thus helped to set the stage
for making criticism of government a “hate crime.”
