Good on Rackspace. Free speech doesn't mean the freedom to say whatever you want on someone else's private infrastructure. You are free to burn books, spout hate speech, or do whatever other ridiculous stuff, but you're not entitled to use somebody else's private communication medium to do so. Rackspace has spent millions in establishing a private infrastructure on which to conduct their private business--hosting web sites. Your right to free speech is not the same as Rackspace's right to do whatever they like on the infrastructure they wholly own. If you want to make a website about burning Korans or whatever other hateful propaganda, purchase your own server, install it in your own datacenter, and pay for your own uplink. Then you'll be free to do whatever you want on your own servers. That's freedom of speech. Edit: And if you don't like that Rackspace is pulling sites for whatever reason, then you too are free to host your own server in your own datacenter, maybe even on land you yourself have purchased. Or hell, get another host that explicitly allows that kind of stuff. Then you won't be constrained by what is in truth a business relationship, not an infringement on any constitutional right.
