The NCCL supported freedom of speech, and did not get into questions of whether they had to agree in any way with that speech first; which IMHO is only right.
As in, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend with my life your right to say it".
As in the American ACCL defending the American Nazi Party's right to freedom of speech: not a betrayal of their principles IMHO but rather a resounding proof of their belief in those principles.
Personally I emphatically support freedom of speech, and I have grave doubts whether one can self-censor this support. Who would I trust to restrict freedom of speech? Not the government. Not you - and probably not me either.
