America has far fewer limits on freedom of speech than other democracies.
Hate speech law in the US is practically nonexistent. Libel is much more difficult case to argue. Restrictions on political speech are widely held to be unconstitutional.
Compare that with other democracies, such as the UK, Germany or India, and I think you'll find that the US does have significantly more freedom of speech than other democratic nations.

Try, for example, to blog that your company should not trade with Israel whilst tendering for a federal contract. (Just an example: I don’t have a dog in the actual fight).
