I am unfamiliar with this particular "right." Which one is it?
It is both amusing and dismaying to hear people "quote" the U.S. Bill of Rights incorrectly, and fabricate new rights out of thin air.
If you're referring to the 1st Amendment (the one we typically call Free Speech), I'd invite you to reread it. Most people today incorrectly assume the 1st Amendment guarantees the right to say anything you want, but that is absolutely false.
Instead, the 1st Amendment only guarantees that
Congress shall make no law abridging your right to free speech, and that is totally different from guaranteeing the right to say anything you want.
Now, back to Manson; Manson's an entertainer and a performer. No one should ever be so simple as to be offended by someone's act. I've been offended by plenty of people before, but never an
act . There's also a lot of music out there I don't like, but I'm still not offended by a musician's act.
