" It was fundamentally a part of free speech. ... The Minutemen are not a legitimate part of the debate on immigration."

Ironly so thick you can cut it with a knife.

"" It was fundamentally a part of free speech. ... The Minutemen are not a legitimate part of the debate on immigration.""

The pigs in Orwell's "Animal Farm". Some individuals are freer than others.

This reminds me of my favorite quote from David Horowitz of frontpagemag.com - a reformed anti-war protestor:

I know better than most the importance of protecting freedom of speech and the right of citizens to dissent. But I also know that there is a difference between honest dissent and malevolent hate, between criticism of national policy and sabotage of the nation's defenses. In the 1960s and 1970s, the tolerance of anti-American hatreds was so high that the line between dissent and treason was erased.

Here we go again.
