there's no connection between being critical of these backwater asshats and any limitation of their right to free speech. even if the community where the asshats lived were to mobilize itself and stop them, there'd still be no connection: the right is a legal matter, so the asshats in question could not be prosecuted legally for being asshats and engaging in asshat actions. but there could be a legitimate conflict over community standards in that particular town or county and that conflict could result in the asshat church of jesus being prevented from exercising their formally protected right to be as stupid as they want to be.

and i expect that libertarians wouldn't be able to do anything but cheer that community on.
