I have tried all the usual quote sources, with no success. My recollection was that this was Abbie Hoffman… which means it could be any number of similar people, or a total failure of my recollection. Anyway, the gist is…
When you censor the freedom to say “fuck”, you censor the freedom to say “fuck the government”. or something vaguely close to that.

Anyone?
