Free speech is meant to prevent government limitations on speech. Free speech is not meant to limit judging the speaker as morally, ethically or socially bankrupt. I feel like there's a conversation or interaction I'm missing here. I agree it's important to remember others disagree with us. That doesn't add legitimacy to a hateful position, of course. Remembering there are different, opposing views can help us hone our own discussion, shape our own opinions and, in some cases, reassert the ludicrousness and hatefulness of racism, misogyny or other stereotypes.
