To that end, IMO people should hear her, should openly challenge her, should foster those ideas they find worthy of emulating, and reject and decry those they find unrealistic or abhorrant; but to deny her a voice or employment within the boundaries of the law because we don't agree with some of her ideas or previous behaviors is Orwellian, and the antithesis of what we proclaim ourselves to be amongst the world's nations.
