Re: Giuliani- Abysmal Record on Free Speech
[ QUOTE ]
"A poll conducted by the New York Daily News showed that 60 percent of all New Yorkers, including 48 percent of Catholics, opposed the mayor's stand."
So Guiliani's position was actually contrary to public opinion. He was just pandering to a few vocal opponents of the artwork.

What do numbers have to do with it? (Although it would be interesting to see the poll question). And I wouldn't characterize 40% as "a few vocal ...", not that it matters.
Nobodys rights were violated, there are plenty of private venues for controversial "art".
