I don't believe in free speech. I'd be very comfortable with Westboro Baptist people being banned/jailed. Unfortunately, given how comfortable people in power have been throughout history removing freedom when given an opening, we have to go beyond reasonable free speech to this absurd nonsense we have now to keep any threat to it at bay.
Joe Rogan is one of a group of comedians (Burr, CK, Seinfeld come to mind as others) who have a detached practicality when looking at the world. We've been brainwashed pretty solid on UNLIMITED FREE SPEECH IS SUPER IMPORTANT. But for someone like Rogan, I'm guessing there's the nagging voice that looks at it practically, and recognizes that this particular situation is bullshit. And it is.
