It's fighting for the Liberal understanding of the first amendment. The context of free speech is regulated not the content. I guess that some may say that protecting Nazi's free speech is somehow a conservative act... yet (as pointed out by David Goldberger) the act of defending the extreme right wing against oppression is a de facto defense of EVERYONE'S free speech rights.
