"Free speech is still free speech, even when you don't like what's being said," is a quote from my law school days that comes to mind.

Though I still contend that this particular issue has nothing to do with free speech. That right, granted by the 1st Amendment, has only to do with the government restraining speech. Nothing to do with a private entity chosing to no longer distribute a book due to a business decision.
