Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Freedom of speech insures the artist a right to produce the "naked Chocolate Jesus" statue. It does not insure him the right to display it on someone elses property. The hotel that was sponsoring the exibit choose to not display this peice of (offensive) artwork after they received many complaints (People exercising THEIR freedom of speech). You may disagree withtheir choice, but it was their choice to make. No free speech was violated.

Now it the government mandated that the hotel could not display the piece, or mandated the peice be destroyed, THAT would be a violation of free speech!
