Should people with extreme political views be allowed a voice?

Everyone should be allowed to have their say. Also everyone is free to ignore what they think is extreme.
Muzzling one (anyone) makes free speech no longer free speech.

While I am appalled at both the Hard Right and the Hard Left thoughts and vocalizations I have to go with this quote for a Movie called The American President.
"America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours."
I Live and will Die for The Flag, period! I believe with ever fiber in my being that what the Forefathers laid down was truly Nobel and the equivalent of a Religion for me. With that said yes I want to throat punch people that Burn the Flag, That Protest because their easy life isn't easy enough, that scream racial hate, religious hate, sexual orientation hate. The people that advocate violence against Americans because of their radical points of view... Part of me says they don't understand America and Part of me says they understand it and hate it.
But I MUST let them have their say because to silence them would violate what I believe in. It does not however say I have to listen to them...

I like the old saying " I may not agree with what You say but I'll fight to the death to preserve Your right to say it !"

What constitutes "extreme" and who gets to decide?
May want to address those questions 1st before moving on the whether those voices get a say in things.
Just sayin'.
