I made the mistake of voicing these same thoughts this weekend at a party, and I almost got lynched.

"How can you defend a racist?"

"I don't. I simply defend his right to hold whatever opinion he wants to hold, without having someone take his property from him for voicing those opinions."

His "right" to say what he wants is fully intact as are the "rights" of other members of his association enforcing their ability to remove him from said association. He agreed to this. He will be compensated as the market determines.

There is no such thing as a "right" to hold whatever opinion you want without having to face the consequences.

The only "right" you have with respect to free speech is that the government has limited ability to control it.
