I wonder how the numbers would change if those First Amendment surveys tweaked the wording of their questions just a bit?

Because while the vast majority of Americans are indeed favorably disposed to the idea of *their own* freedom of speech/religion/what-have-you, I am morally certain that a disturbing proportion are at one and the same time not so fond of the idea of the same freedoms being granted to *that yahoo over there with an opposing opinion/belief*.
