It is that, and he should, but to describe Friedman as censored is truly
demented. So demented, in fact, that it's worth investigating - just like
right-wing claims of "special privileges" for same-sexers, and some alleged
PC hegemony. It's like making Rodney King into an aggressor. There's
something paranoid about such claims that's driving me back to Freud for an
explanation.
