Public figures, politicians and even the people must exercise utmost caution while expressing their views or opinions in Public.The dividing line between adherence to 'Freedom Of Speech " and its violation is very thin. We have been seeing incidents where Freedom of Speech is violated advertently or inadvertently by the leaders and how they are putting themselves in troubles. Such ugly incidents could have been avoided with a bit of caution.
Every freedom comes with a limitation and a duty. While people get carried away by their freedom, they forget about the complimentary duty and limitation. I feel that happens with the freedom of speech also. And when you use the freedom demeaning the limitation or thee duty, the freedom looses it's dignity add you actually abuse it.

Some quotes on freedom of speech
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter - George Washington
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use - Soren Kierkegaard
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
The best way is to give ideas and criticize ideas. There should be no attack on individuals. Gandhi had said- hate the sin and not the sinner. This attitude will be a determinant to personal attack. Freedom of speech becomes dreadful when used to attack individuals.

Hate speech should not not be tolerated in the name of Free Speech. It has real and devastating effects on Peoples lives their Health and safety. It is harmful and divisive for Communities and hampers social progress in fighting discrimination. Left unchecked hate speech can lead to war and genocide. Although the right to speech is a fundamental value, it should not be allowed to over weigh the Basic Human rights of other people, especially their right to life.
