That's when freedom of speech is MOST needed! Freedom of speech would be pretty useless if it was limited by what the majority agreed with! Freedom of speech means freedom to vent ANY opinion. It loses its power and relevance otherwise.
Indeed. Freedom of speech is hardly about protecting the right to extol the virtues of baseball, mom, and apple pie.
