Does Freedom of Speech go too far?

Comment Up
Is this, too, free speech?

Basically, we can call someone the most vile of names and demonstrate against them...spread lies and get them fired from earning a living.  We have one such person living in Lake Worth. But it's called freedom of speech. Muslims do it to Christians all of the time but when a Christian does it to a Muslim, well Muslims sue.

One case went all the way up the chain to the Sixth Circuit Court--
“Diversity, in viewpoints and among cultures, is not always easy. An inability or a general unwillingness to understand new or different points of view may breed fear, distrust and even loathing,” the justices wrote. “But … the First Amendment demands that we tolerate the viewpoints of others with whom we may disagree.”

"The Sixth Circuit stressed that the First Amendment “envelops all manner of speech, even when that speech is loathsome in its intolerance, designed to cause offense, and, as a result of such offense, arouses violent retaliation.”
