But... try using that argument after you yell "Fire" in a crowded theater, or shout "Bomb" in an airport. By today's laws, Freedom of Speech is very much dependent upon topic.

We've been through all this above in this thread and many others.

Certain specific actions that might otherwise be free speech are specifically outlined as breaking OTHER laws. Things like slander and libel.

As I said above I may not agree with what this book is about but provided it is legal to publish I will defend it with my life because not to is to throw away everything we hold dear as Citizens of the U.S.A.

Nor does my defense of this freedom of speech have anything to do with supporting child abuse or molestation. No more than my defense of authors rights to publish books on how to make bombs or guns means I support activities that would be illegal.

It's a damn slippery slope when we start banning books and speech and freedom and I will not be a part of it.
