Originally, these were the core concepts of what the Liberal ideological stood for, I mean it is in the name, Liberal for Liberty, basically the freedom from any and all restrictions... WTF happened to that?

Liberals do protect the Freedom of Speech as well as the freedom to express yourself as an artist or an author. However, there are words that are not protected by the First Amendment and the law defines them as "fighting words".
Fighting words legal definition is " those words that their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace or promoted violent acts that lead to the risk of life or limb". In tort law, one who uses fighting words toward another creating anxiety or apprehension on that person can be charged with assault.

Yes everyone has a right to free speech. And free speech gives the right to protest what is being said. So it goes both ways.

No, liberalism has always been about allowing free speech. It never meant social acceptance of all speech. Our founding fathers werent that nice to royalists if you want an example.
