This Whole Discussion Around Free Speech and Milo Yiannopoulos is Causing a Rift on the Left

90. Not all speech is free speech, not all speech is protected speech

Try yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theatre and see what happens. Now let's talk about hate speech and then fighting words... these are all examples of speech that are NOT considered free. This ain't hard. If your public speech attacks others for their race, their sex, their age, their location or their religion or incites violence against groups of people - it's a dangerous and sometimes lethal.

BTW you are dead wrong - Hitler should have been silenced early on during his beer hall days when he was scapegoating groups of people and inciting violence. When it comes to weighing the public speaking rights versus public speaking responsibilities I'm ok with that. Twenty million civilians suffered horrible torture and were put to death because of the words of one man. He should have been stopped by any means necessary.
