I'm a free speech absolutist - if someone's ideas are so reprehensible, then you should easily be able to combat that through excercising your own free speech, but expounding contrary arguments.
Shouting down someone is an attempt at cencorship, which to me leaves the message that the ideas are too good or sound too to engage in discussion about.
