No, it would support it Charles. If I were to support the suppression of speech that argued against freedom of speech, then by my actions I would be against freedom of speech.

That makes no sense. I am not elevating their speech above anyone else's. I am merely affording them the same platform as everyone else. Because I assert that they have a right to speech does not mean that I endorse their speech or believe that what their speech advocates should be put into practice. I am merely saying that they have a right to speak no matter how silly, dangerous or provacative their speech may be.
