> ...Uh, what is the argument you're trying to make here? That if they are not putting in some serious effort then "That indirectly indicates their priority for the issue for them." Seeing how I am uninformed on what they have said as of yet I was interested in getting insight into their position and priorities. > That if people aren't making enough of an "effort" in some way, that their critiques should not be taken seriously? They have to prioritize, there is nothing wrong with that. I have to prioritize too. Knowing their priorities is useful information while evaluating their critiques. > If you don't think sticking your neck out as a prominent intellectual like Chomsky or Hitchens to defend neo-nazi's right to lie in the public square. There is definitely a difference between writing a critique and working consistently towards changing a law. It has no bearing on the seriousness of their crtique, but it does on the seriousness of their commitment and priorities.
