“Dobson, I respect you, and believe you to be a decent and holy man, but please do the world a favor on this: STFU!”
I guess the right to free speech doesn’t apply to certain people? Like something straight out of Berkeley.

There is no guaranteed right to freedom of speech; that is the concept that is straight out of Berkeley. There is only the 1st Amendment, which prevents GOVERNMENT from silencing you.
But, since you seem to be using the misunderstood vernacular of "freedom of speech," aren't you making the argument that the Dixie Chicks tried after people responded loudly to their exercise of their "freedom of speech?" And didn't we, rightly, mock them for their total lack of understanding that freedom of speech carries with it repercussions, as long as those are not governmentally sanctioned repercussions?
In short, the OP's admonition to Dobson to STFU is just another exercise of the freedom of speech in response to Dobson's exercise of same.
