Whether it is for-profit or not-for-profit it is still an association of persons (also it's not necessarily a corporation, could be some other type entity), so someone would have to have the power to decide which associations ARE entitled to freedom of speech, and which associations ARE NOT entitled to freedom of speech. As far as who makes that call, there are only three possibilities: Executive branch -- President makes the call Legislative branch -- Congress makes the call Judicial branch -- Supreme Court makes the call I don't see how any of the three have the authority to decide which association gets to enjoy freedom of speech, or what speech the association can engage in, and what is forbidden. I wouldn't want Congress making the call because Congress changes every two years, and back in 1965 they would have squashed the NAACP like a bug if they could.
