Let me make this clear, I don't think the left is worse than the right wrt free speech, in fact, historically they have been much worse in this country. But there are not currently mobs of right wingers in the news every month shutting down speakers at universities, using brown shirt tactics in the name of anti-fascism, which is the current topic and the reason these guys get to hold their rallies, quite rightly, in the name of "Free Speech". If more people supported their right to assemble and speak, and these mobs stopped regularly threatening that right, then you would have an argument.
