Defending first amendment rights is integral to their movement

Roy's new column is up, this time on the reaction of the wingnutosphere to the Palin news.

The most fulsome war-whoop was sounded by Cold Fury: "Sue them, bankrupt them, ruin their lives, destroy their careers, shut down their blogs and other propaganda outlets, get 'em locked up wherever possible. Kick them in the teeth again and again, until they howl in pain from the gutter they roll in. Scorch the very earth under their feet. Unleash pure hell on them, and make every single day of their lives a horror and a misery -- just as they did to you, just as they've done to so many other decent men and women who have the temerity to disagree with their anti-American ideal of what this country should be. Liberal asswipes have gotten away with this sort of thing for far too long...

"Reap the whirlwind, you odious, gutless, evil pricks. We'll fix your little red wagon yet; wait and see if we don't."

Now there's a template for a winning national movement.
