By far, yes. A thousand times yes. I've already stated that in this very thread, in the post you quoted. It needn't be clarified any farther.

So you think it's right for people to say all kinds of filfth and hate speech?
Do I think it is right for people to say such things? No. But people do a lot of things that I don't think is right. My personal preferences should not govern the lives of the rest of the world.

As long as it doesn't bother you personally, right? As as you are not offended, it doesn't matter what people say, right?
I guess I'll have to quote myself.
Earlier on this very page, I wrote:
I consider your views to be infinitely more dangerous than that of Holocaust Deniers, Neo-Nazis, or Jihadists. But I still think you should be able to express those views.
Even in the case of Michael Savage's hateful comments towards autistics, and even in the case of people like you demanding attacks on freedom itself, I still believe in freedom of speech.
