[Vision2020] Re: David Irving - Caution

[Tom Hansen]

I repeat (for the second and final time).  Private businesses have the right
to change their minds at will.  If I allow somebody to present a lecture
within my house, does that mean that I must allow a counter argument at the
same venue?  HELL NO.  It is the first amendment that allows the Dougster to
lecture on the UI campus in February.  It is my option that keeps him out of
my house.

If you are so driven that you feel Mr. Irving's first amendment rights have
been violated by the owners of the Mark IV restaurant, I suggest that you
take it up with them.  I am willing to bet my last dollar that the Mark IV
will be vindicated.
