43. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of speech that you agree with.
It is freedom of all speech, whether you like what is being said or not. Start limiting speech that you dislike and sure as the sun shines, somebody else will be wanting to limit what you say too.

Sure, it's distasteful, even downright disgusting. But that doesn't mean that whoever this is can't speak their minds. Much like Neo Nazi marches, everybody is free to show what hateful, vile little human beings they are.
