We (or, I hope, some of us) still believe in the same values. Murder and genocide are not condoned, nor do we want a repeat of what happened in WW2. Free speech is the protected value. That my countryman might choose to use that freedom poorly is his choice, but that's part of it: he's free to choose. Unorthodox ideas might be the next freedom or civil rights movement, or they might just be absolute garbage; it isn't the government's place to pick or choose what ideas get expressed.
The old quote applies,
> I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
That said, I don't see why a private enterprise should be forced to do business with someone unwillingly. (Again, if this were the government, I'd have a very different opinion.)
As for some of the more egregious things he's done, such as claiming Sandy Hook was a hoax,
> six families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as well as an FBI agent who responded to the attack filed a defamation lawsuit against Jones for his role in spreading conspiracy theories about the shooting.
This is the proper forum for this to occur in, and hopefully justice will be done.
