If Ezra Levant and Ann Coulter can't take the heat, then they really should stay out of the kitchen.
If, on the other hand, they make their careers on inflaming as many people as possible, they can't plausibly make this a free speech issue when they themselves decide not to speak in front of people who are (surprise!) inflamed.
