Are you referring to Franklin Graham?
My observation is that everybody, left or right, likes free speech until they don’t.
I think it’s not so easy to know what to do about cartoons depicting Mohammed. At the time, I remember thinking that it seemed pretty absurd to publish a book about the controversy that didn’t include at least examples of the cartoons. On the other hand, I don’t think that the freedom to publish a particular kind of speech is, in itself, a moral justification for publishing it. Decent people might reasonably refrain from certain kinds of speech because it would offend others–absent some countervailing reason to publish it. The cartoon case is hard, though–should we publish the cartoons just to show that nobody can control speech through threats? I can say that even if somebody massacres the Westboro Baptist Church, I’m not going to publish a sign reading “God Hates Fags” on my Facebook page. I’m probably not going to say “I am the Westboro Baptist Church,” either.
