Free speech does not guarantee

An attentive or even barely civil crowd of listeners

A megaphone

A public forum

Access to any communications media

Agreement from anyone

Physical safety from people who take exception to vile speech

Free speech guarantees that you won't be arrested for simply speaking and that even vile words won't throw you into prison.

It won't save you from that knuckle sandwich, however.

Keep pushing back. R's have demonstrated to be more than willing to hoist themselves on their own petard.
