ADL regional director says, "freedom of speech does not extend to racist groups"
The Volokh Conspiracy blog has the story here.
Particularly troubling is the fact that the ADL considers all holocaust denial and revisionism to be hate speech. For example, my own position is that a "systematic" Jewish holocaust was impossible because the Nazis had no reliable and objective ways of identifying Jews and non-Jews. To the ADL, that's hate speech.
What happens is that once extremists get control of an organization like the ADL, they tend to keep and increase control because moderates who don't want to support an extremist organization leave. I have also seen this happen to the Wikipedia organization.

Who cares if the Nazis had a reliable means of identification.
They still killed millions of Jews and people they thought were Jews.
Whether they were "reliable" or not does not matter to the victims.
And I notice no one seems to be citing any sources around here.

(P.S., since you are moderating and censoring, shouldn't you modify the "anti censorhisp" paragraph at the top of your blog?
