I don't think this is true. There are those who would stomp all over free speech in an effort to force political or cultural correctness. And while it might not be a criminal offense, our apathetic populace is either lazy or agrees that Paula Deen deserves to lose her job and endorsements for saying nigger 20+ years ago.
Granted, I didn't see the Kathy Griffin "beheads" Trump video that caused such an uproar but again, very few people have spoken up in support of her. I cringed when I heard she was sobbing about how Trump was ruining her life but again, the apathy (or maybe it's fear) around freedom of speech, comedy etc. IS ruining lives and you'd damn well BETTER watch what you say or post on social media. Certain words may trigger an FBI check on your activities and/or some prospective employer may decide the rainbows on your FB page are a little too gay for their tastes (although they'd never say or admit such a thing).
