No Speech for you!

Many people have heard of the Soup Nazi, made popular by the television show Seinfeld. Upon arrival at his establishment, patrons were required to state their order succinctly, not deviating from the Soup Nazi's established rules. Failure to comply resulted in banishment from his delicious soup stand. Liberals in San Francisco have created his brother, the Speech Nazi.

A Roman Catholic group in the Bay Area paid for advertising on public transit that challenged the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. Some area residents don't like it:

I couldn't believe BART would allow something like this. Why are they doing this?

And:

They're calling for the overturn of Roe vs. Wade, which will lead to the slaughter of women...

James Taranto covered this is his Jan. 13th Best of the Web, pointing out that what BART (Bay Area Regional Transit) was doing was allowing free speech.

Why are Liberals so bent on suppressing conservative viewpoints? Do they realize how untenable their positions are when confronted with fact? Maybe they just like being the Speech Nazi.
