True freedom demands that you protect the rights of those with the most abhorrent ideologies. If you think everyone who has a differing opinion to shut up, so you are free to say things without criticism, then you're not free and you don't deserve freedom. What if the pendulum swings the other way and suddenly you are told your opinions are wrong and dangerous, shut up or go to jail!
I would defend a Neo Nazi's right to spew their hate, not because I agree with them, but because they have the right to express their opinion and we have the right to criticize them.
