revendiquer que les gens ont le droit de dire n’importe quoi n’implique pas l’obligation de les inviter dans les médias ou les universités...Notre responsabilité, c’est non seulement de ne pas dire n’importe quoi mais aussi de ne pas légitimer le n’importe quoi qui menace aujourd’hui la démocratie.

Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute
