No. I'm saying that you don't have to agree with him, but he has the right to speak and others have the right to hear him. Perhaps re-digest 1:25-3:07.
No one is questioning the manifesto writer's right to say what he wishes to say nor others to read what he writes, although if he says what he said while in the employ of Google to others who are also in the employ of Google, he can't hang his future employment there on rights. His right to speak is with respect to the govmint and not his employer.
Again, how does what Hitchens says apply here? I think the good Christopher is on my side, not yours.
Added: I might be wrong about Google's right to fire the manifesto writer [1]. That would be something for lawyers to work over.
