And why do these people feel that the right to freedom of speech is an entitlement and allows them to infringe on the rights of others?

The only person in the group that you mentioned that tries to infringe on others' rights of free speech is Sharpton. The Imus debacle is a classic example. While Coulter and Limbaugh (don't know that much about Kucinich, other than he's kinda crazy) are quite ready to criticize someone's stand, I've never heard them try to get their opponents' muzzled.
Remember, freedom of speech works both ways. Someone can disagree with the people you mentioned, but those same people have an EQUAL right to state their disagreement.

Don't put these 4 people in one group. Anne Coulter and Rush are immoral, dirty scumbags. The other two are helping to improve the society.

The right to freedom of speech is an entitlement, by definition.
What rights do you or I lose because others talk?

Some of them don't, you just don't agree with there point of view and thus this vitriol ensues, thanks ahead of time for flagging my free speech.
