Unfortunately, this attitude is pervasive in many places (a special hello to academia) these days.
Who said that he shouldn't have the right to say what he said? There's a difference between "He said something that pissed me off," and "What he said should be outlawed," you know. I'm tired of the argument that it's morally okay to say whatever you want because we have freedom of speech on our side. That's deflecting the issue, he said something offensive, he should own up to it. Legally he had every right to say it, morally, that's an entirely different issue.
