On no. The Andrew Shirvell story is on CNN. See Anderson Cooper's blog posts here and here. Anderson Cooper then had a video interview with Andrew Shirvell.

Andrew, regardless of whether they are your "First Amendment rights," your tactics (i.e., the swastika, the name-calling, the insults, etc.) are entirely inappropriate and beyond the pale. Further, they are completely detrimental to your goal. Finally, they give reason for people to think that you and all the rest of us who are concerned about moral issues are irrational and bigoted. You should close your blog and delete your extreme criticisms, apologize for your offense, and withdraw from this particular fight.

UPDATE: Yahoo News has the story now.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Here is Above The Law's take.
