I would argue that when people were blacklisted in the fifties the movie industry will tell you that it was for business purposes.

I would also argue that when you lead a rally, encourage people to bring CDs of a particular group because of what they said, and stand there and roll over these CDs, that I would argue on its face that seems way over the line to me.

I want to work with you on this.
