I Rescue, under the Constitution, any individual has a right to free speech, there are no constitutional definitions of speech. It doesn't place limits. Regardless of how you view the group's politics, under the constitution they haave the right to free speech and free peaceful assembly. To me, Louis Farrakhan is full of hate speech, I just watch and chuckle as CNN fawns over him.

One persons opinion is another persons hate speech. To me, hate speech falls into the same area as pornography, about which Judge Learned Hand said "I know it's pornography when I see it." In other words, there is no hard and true definition of hate speech.

Hate speech and hate crimes are two areas where I wish the Government had never stepped. How in the hell does the government know what I'm thinking when I commit a crime? I sure as hell am not going to commit murder/rape/robbery etc. because I LOVE a person. The criminal act itself is an act of hate. If you murder someone, the person is dead, period.

People complain about going to an Orwellian/Big brother society, but then in the same breath ask the government to regulate speech and thought.

I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to my death your right to say it.

Opinionated groups have a right to speak. HATE groups do not.

Who decides what is a hate group and what is an opinionated group?

Amy,

I see that you did edit your post. From what I read in the article, the
group did not apply for a permit. If that's the case they never would have
been permitted to march in Indpls.The group would have been subject to
arrest at the very beginning. I agree they have a right to free speech, as
everyone else does, but a permit makes them abide by the rules as far as
scope & length of the march and gives police prior knowledge of the route
and time limits, etc.

I saw that on t.v. yesterday. They showed a white building on fire. It appeared to be on the corner of a street. Was that a business or a home? I just thought it was awful and very sad. I'm glad you are okay.

Sad. Just sad.

I heard a great call to talk radio the other day.

"instead of marching on Washington, Why not show up in New Orleans and help clean up?"

It's always amazing, to me, why people get upset over a few morons-then burn down the town....blame the cops, not the morons who started it and the other morons that finish it.

. To me, hate speech falls into the same area as pornography, about which Judge Learned Hand said "I know it's pornography when I see it."

I think that Mr Hand should have passed on making that comment..
