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.
