People of "my ilk" would have said to let her speak. I've said it every time this topic has come up.

For example:

This guy is a hoot!  Stupid and thinks he's funny!  Let him speak...he's just hanging himself.



I wonder if he's going to fire himself?  Oh, right.  He's the EXCEPTION to all the other gays.  Right.  
 




Every so often a new "Conservative comedian" rolls out to show "the left" that they aren't really funny because they aren't inclusive of the "humor" on the right.

And then they're gone in a couple years because, well, they aren't funny and they try to hide their position/message behind "jokes" instead of using jokes to show the humor in the other sides position/message.

See? I disagree with what he has to say but believe he should be allowed to say it. In this case so I can point out how hateful and wrong I think he is.

Simple concept.

Is "free speech" not a right?

Or are you saying that he rights were not violated...just the right to free speech in general when she wasn't allowed to speak?

Either way it's still wrong.
