Freedom of expression is an important basic right, but as every right, it also has it's limits. Especially when the rights of other people are affected. There are limits to the freedom of expression in the USA, too. Ask Don Imus, Bill Maher, Howard Stern or Janet Jackson. It's just a different interpretation what's more dangerous for a society ... hate speech or Janet Jackson's nipples at the Super Bowl.
