People are confusing the right of freedom of speech with the right to be downright rude and tasteless. Freedom of speech does not give anyone the right to insult everyone and not care about it.
Freedom of speech means that you can object to a political issue without being hung up for treason it does not mean that you can say what you like about someone else! That's just common decency.
