Freedom Of Speech? What's That?

CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) is attempting to prevent a guy named Robert Spencer from speaking to a conservative group called the Young America's Foundation. They are threatening suit against Young America's Foundation if they let Spencer speak to their group. Michelle Malkin has all the details.

So, does CAIR think that they are in an Islamic country, where you can just shut people up, no freedom of speech? Of course, the idiot who signed the threat letter is CAIR's legal counsel--and 1993-98 served as general counsel for the Democratic National Committee, with which he is still affiliated.

I'm afraid that Ferrigno's novel Prayers for the Assassin isn't as unlikely as it appeared when I first read it. When important lawyers for the Democrats are trying to suppress free speech on behalf of an Islamic extremist group, it tells you how important Islamic extremists are to the Democratic leadership.
