A major goal of the alt-right is to persuade society that vile hate speech should be celebrated as an important public service promoting free speech and democracy, as most famously championed by Milo Yiannopoulos.
As a Humanist, I stand in support of America’s constitutional protections even for hate speech, including allowing students to invite speakers like Milo on campus. I want to see Europe do the same and end hate speech laws, too easily a tool for silencing important criticism. We fight hate speech in America not with federal laws, but with social and business ostracism.
Cultural ostracism is the alt-right’s only real constraint, so their increasingly successful war is to eliminate it. That’s Milo’s dangerously nihilistic campaign, and it looks like it’s also Roger Stone’s.
Perhaps to distract from the stunning revelation that Stone’s backdoor connection to Wikileaks was through Guccifer2,0, the Russian operation to hack the 2016 election, Stone is whining that his free speech has been violated by Twitter. He had been banned temporarily from Twitter this week for this misogynist filth:
This private company, Twitter, tossed Stone out of its house for 24 hours for viciously attacking its other guests, as is its right. But as is the alt-right’s modus operandi, Stone cries he’s the victim, using his radio show Twitter account:
Heavens, but this precious “snowflake” seems to be “triggered.” (Did I do that right?)
It’s his own history that’s “shameful”:
Stone’s Twitter account is still a cesspool of crude, sexist, and racist commentary.
Stone previously tweeted (among many other things) that commentator Roland Martin is a "stupid negro" and a "fat negro," New York Times columnist Gail Collins is an "elitist c*nt," MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is "Rachel the muff-diver," Fox News’ Megyn Kelly has a "nice set of cans,” and Fox's Allen West is an "arrogant know-it-all negro." He mocked writer Charles Krauthammer for being paralyzed, and tweeted "DIE BITCH" at former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson.
...attacks labeling media and political figures as “disgusting lesbian dwarf,” “horse-faced liberal bitch,” “mandingo,” and “house negro.” Stone also asked if Ben Carson was an “Uncle Tom,” referred to himself as a “nigga” with a Nixon tattoo, called Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) a “jap” (acronym for "Jewish American Princess") and “every man’s first wife,” and said he would kill himself if he was married to “screechy” and “shrill” Carly Fiorina.

By the way, here’s the kind of chilling advice this long-time close friend and personal confidante has been giving Trump:
