The purpose of free speech isn’t to protect speech that is pleasant, agreeable, kind, nice, friendly, and popular.
Instead, the purpose of free speech is to protect speech that is rude, offensive, unpleasant, vulgar, unpopular, and controversial, and which goes against the narrative of the people who are in charge.
Therefore, I support free speech for Whoopi Goldberg, Joe Rogan, Roseanne Barr, J. K. Rowling, Gina Carano, Ann Coulter, Ilhan Omar, Milo Yiannopoulos, Louis Farrakhan, David Duke, Bill Maher, Paul Joseph Watson, Cenk Uygur, Al Sharpton, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Chris Rock, George Carlin’s ghost, Muhammad cartoonists, American flag burners, communists, socialists, fascists, Nazis, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, abortion activists, anti-abortion activists, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the Proud Boys, Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, atheists, you, me, and everyone else.

In 2005, a journalist named Askia Muhammad took this photograph of Barack Obama and Louis Farrakhan:
However, Muhammad did not let the photograph be published at the time.
It wasn’t until after Obama left the White House that Muhammad let it be published.
Muhammad said that he held the photograph back from publication because, regarding Obama’s chance of getting elected President:
“I insist. It absolutely would have made a difference.”
Given that Muhammad is a professional, award-winning journalist who had “doggedly covered” Obama since the 2004 Democratic National Convention, this is an extreme example of media bias.
