In the Arrested Development episode, "The One Where They Build a House," Buster says, "I don't agree with your dirty doings here, but I will defend with my life your right to do it." He was talking about joining the army because of what he caught his "parents" doing. As libertarians, we often come into situations where we also have to defend something we don't like.
Take the Westboro Baptist Church's protest of military funerals. I personally hate that. Those men and women served their country with everything they had (for a war that should not have happened) but those that protest their actions have that right. Just because I don't agree with someone is no reason for me to try and silence them. Our government is there to protect us from harming each other; but that does not mean that it can stop us from doing completely morally apprehensible things. As long as it doesn't hurt someone physically, then freedom reigns supreme.
