Why Clinton sat with Farrakhan

Liberals ignore or even sympathize with hate when it comes from Muslims and blacks.

The lack of outrage over the presence of the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan at the Aretha Franklin funeral demonstrates a strange double standard on hate.

In recent months, the debate about free speech has taken a disturbing detour. Many on the left have made clear that they’re only willing to speak up for the rights of those whose opinions they share. The American Civil Liberties Union — which once defended the rights of far-right extremists — will now only take up the cases of those on the left whose opinions they like. Indeed, as even Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan recently confessed, liberals think that free speech has been “weaponized” by conservatives to defend causes the Left dislikes and therefore is a principle that should be only selectively enforced.
