Yesterday, hapless bloviator Eve Fairbanks wasted 3,000 words in The Washington Post on a risible comparison of open discourse, free speech, intellectual tolerance, civility, and reason to the ignominious defenders of chattel slavery in the antebellum South. Because if you are the unhealthily Civil War-obsessed Eve Fairbanks, nothing apparently says “civility” and “tolerance” like seceding from the Union in evil defense of human enslavement and firing upon Fort Sumter to instigate a bloody conflict that would ultimately take the toll of 600,000-plus lives.
Really — read the whole screed.
