If you are this easily persuaded, and come at "free speech" with such confusion, you have a lot of reading ahead of you. I envy you, actually.
It really isn't a point to be pursuaded, it's axiomatic in democratic thought. The premise is that the only way to guarantee every person a say in their society is to guarantee their say. Not a hard concept at all. Unfortunately it's more than a tad non-PC, especially to anarchist and federalist (statist by your term I believe). Merely another observation that those who take oaths to protect our liberty don't usually themselves believe in it. Ask yourself (not Tim but the reader in general) why is it that in a country dedicated to free speech the defendent in a trial doesn't get it while in the courtroom? ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
