Hmm. It's one of those sayings I'd find more credible if I knew any modern liberals who'd even been to prison for defending a cause (I have, for example, known Green Party MPs who've been arrested on demonstrations- not seen that happen with any Lib Dems), let alone died for one. I personally wouldn't die for someone's right to say something stupid/wrong, because I'd rather die for someone's right to say something true, and it seems just as likely for either to be restricted, so I'd rather save the dramatic political rhetoric for times when someone has something worth saying to defend.

OK, having posted this and being redirected a couple of times now to log in to openID, I am also not going to even faff around on the internet for my right to say anything again. I was already logged in to LJ ffs.
