Well, just my 2pf without walking through the whole discussion...

>David Horowitz recently wrote a column for
>Salon Magazine in which he dared to criticize
>the NAACP for its intent to sue gun
>manufacturers.

Thats his right. As I understand the situation, nobody tried to imprison him for it...

>In response, Jack E. White, a columnist for
> Time Magazine, wrote a column in which he
> labeled Horowitz as a "bigot".......

Isnīt that his right too, protected by the first amendment?

>an obvious attempt to shut Horowitz up
?
Has he demanded that Horowitz is not to be published anywhere by law?

> and destroy his reputation.
Well, if he uses arguments then I cannot think of anything wrong with it. IF there ARE arguments that destroy his reputation, then he should not have one. I would only understand you posting if he uses unfair methods to destroy his reputation, like saying that he abuses kids without proof or something on this line...

Actually I think that the whole thing has nothing to do with the first amendment, nor with WWI aviation. Its just that some people go up like a rocket when somebody dares to threaten the second amendment.
