VOLTAIRE. “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!”

Seriously?

That has to be one of the least thought through utterances anyone has ever made.

BTW, Voltaire probably did not say that.

By the way, VOLTAIRE DID say it!

Do you even have the foggiest idea who Voltaire was? Thought not.

Voltaire’s writings were well known to our founding fathers and most likely had weight in writing the First Amendment as the education of our F.F. was not limited to left wing political cartoons.

“I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
