You're confusing the quotation with the referent. (Or at least making a similar class of mistake.)
I won't defend your freedom to limit my freedom, but I will defend your freedom to say that my freedom should be limited. (Even if doing that makes it more likely that my freedom will in fact be limited.)
I'm sure I'll draw a line somewhere, but so far I can't think of anyone whose speech I find sufficiently scary that I want them silenced.
