Would you also apply this rule consistently with all of the Iraq war cheerleaders who also promoted fake news (like yellowcake)?

Im reminded of Chomsky's quote here (it's surprising how often it is relevant):

>Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.
