I'd like to point out that "liberal" and "leftist" are not the same thing.
Yes, they're often used interchangeably in contemporary American politics, but the traditional usage remains. Free speech is absolutely a "liberal value" - and for what it's worth, that's coming from an extreme libertarian that is diametrically opposed to most of the Democratic platform.
