And how would you propose that we defend that right?

If a person can walk up to you and say something vulgar and offensive under the protection of free speech, then you are likely to be offended. Doesn't that violate your "right" to not be offended?

For that matter, doesn't the right to free speech by itself automatically contradict a "right to not be offended"?
