I couldnt in good conscience defend someone who hates themself so much that they will take it out on their own country. Thats just my opinion.

I understand you, but I take the opposite view. Unpopular, repugnant speech, even speech that I disagree with, is the speech that I belive most needs defending. Some here have brought up that this kind of speech wouldn't be allowed in many countries, and I say that is precisely why we are better than those countries. We don't stop our citizens from expressing their political views, and we protect them even when we disagree with those views. The way I see it, unpopular speech is the whole point of free speech. I may not agree with what that hippie was saying, but I sure am going to criticize anyone that would censor (or assault) him.

Good point. But freedom of speech doesnt mean Freedom of Speech....without repercussion. An example would be telling a USSS agent that I wanted to kill a President. Im allowed to say it, but not without consequence. That is the point that I think is lost here.
