You're right, of course. Charles Murray, racist idiot that he is, should be allowed to speak, and he should be treated with respect. Trash his ideas, but leave him alone. This is the basis of a free society, in my opinion. The problem is that "conservatives" are much better at pretending (as they have the finances to magnify their voices) that they are being shouted down. If you think Jimmy Carter or other "leftists" were merely "criticized" for stating the obvious fact that Israel is a vicious apartheid state, you're equating slanders and death threat with criticism.
