CBS’s Impossible Opposition to Free Speech – The Wall Street Journal

“It’s hard to be a consistent defender of free speech, since it inevitably entails forming temporary alliances with repugnant people. A classic case is National Socialist Party v. Skokie (1977), in which the American Civil Liberties Union represented neo-Nazis who had been enjoined from holding a demonstration in an Illinois village with a large Jewish population. Thousands of ACLU members quit or withheld donations in protest”.
