“journalism”
Some writer I’ve never heard of laments “speech nuts“. And compares them to gun nuts.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Does each amendment get it’s own sort of nut?

The writer misses the point of free speech: he contends that the only speech that should enjoy protection is speech that doesn’t offend: in other words, popular speech should be protected, while unpopular speech should be regulated.

Is this from a so-called “liberal”? As is the case now many of them are the polar opposite of the classical liberals of recent history, some of whom they still extol as their icons. Example:
“Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed–and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment– the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution- -not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply “give the public what it wants”–but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our
dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.” –President John F. Kennedy, April 27, 1961
