And of course, freedom of speech only extends to protection from persecution by the government for your views.
It does not mean you can say anything you like and expect people to say "Yes, Quite". Nobody should ever be shocked that when they use inciteful and inflammatory language that people react in the same tone in response. In fact, it is very often the case that people who seek to remove the rights from others seem to the first to try to protect their own (Case In Point, most of Donald Trumps rhetoric), funny that.
