Peggy Noonan and the left's response to the San Bernardino assault

Peggy Noonan at the Wall Street Journal writes an excellent article involving the assault in San Bernardino, the response by members of the political left and its' implications for our 1st amendment freedoms.

Near the end of the article she writes:

Why doesn’t some thoughtful candidate on the Republican side address the issue of shaming and silencing? Why doesn’t someone give a deep and complete speech on what the First Amendment means, how it must be protected, how we pay a daily price for it in terms of anger, hurt, misunderstandings and crudity, but it’s worth it. Why doesn’t someone note that you fight bad speech with better speech, you don’t try to tape up the mouths of an entire country.
