Would you not agree, though, that the right to express unpopular or controversial points of view is what needs to be protected? That's what "Freedom of Speech" (or artistic expression) is all about. Popular viewpoints don't require protection.
As somebody whose name escapes me once said, "I don't agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it".
