This was big when I was growing up too. KKK was always used as an example. No one liked what they had to say, but as Americans, we felt we were obligated to protect their ability to say it. You know, principles and all.

Their right to say it.
Their ability to say it is a different thing.
Can you expound on what you see as the differences?
Their right: are they prevented from speaking, and using whatever resources they have to write.
Their ability: do they have the tools they would like to have (and that others might own) to communicate effectively.
