But declaring "free speech for me but not for thee", siding with terrorists, and telling Charlie Hebdo to STFU is definitely not a good look. Freedom of expression is the most fundamental of American values. You either support free speech all the time and uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, or you don't support it and therefore declare your opposition to the American way of life. You can't have your cake and eat it. Insaanistan must decide here and now whose side he is on. There is no middle ground.
Considering I have free speech, I have every legal right and moral right to tell the cartoonists and Charlie Hebdo to shut up. They have the legal (though not moral) right to keep this cartoon. Also, Free speech is very limited. Don’t believe me? Hop over to the US and yell “Fire” in a crowded movie theater. Then the police will gladly arrange for your private escort to their car and you can tell them all about “freedom of speech”.
