Condell on Wilders: Dutch Justice

Via Pamela Geller.

Remember: it’s largely the same group of fools who brought you anthropogenic global warming who are telling you to pay no mind to atrocities like the Wilders trial. How is it that the bulk of the truly crappy ideas seem to come from one end of the political spectrum?

Update:

Volokh points out that part of the Wilders trial will not be made public, and has a lengthy response from someone familiar with the law.  If your case for freedom of speech was going to be tried by a bench of Neville Chamberlains, would you sweat blood or bullets?  In this country, we’d have a peaceful Tea Party demonstration in support of transparency and justice.  But the US is not the Netherlands, so the conclusion is an exercise for the reader.

    When you can get a Jew, a Protestant and a Catholic to embed the video of a world famous Atheist on their blogs, you must be doing something right.

    It is a shame Condell recognizes the dangers of cultural relativity, but will not take it a step further and recognize moral relativity is even more at the heart of the problem.

    But I fear i am one of the last natural law theorists around anyway.
