Is it always good to have freedom of speech?

First Amendment- freedom of speech

This article upsets me. It talks about Dr. Laura stating the "N" word many times. Many people use this word and it is very disrespectful.This takes the freedom of speech too far. It stated that people of African-American descent also say this word, so why can't she. It is wrong for anyone to say or called anyone this word. I find it disrespectful coming from anyone. This is a case of taking this freedom too far. There are also many other ways people can take it too far. It can be by using too much profanity, calling people any name out of theirs, being offensive, and talking at times when a person should be quiet. There should be a limit on the freedom of speech and there is. It should just be bigger consequences for taking these limits too far.
