re: #38 Wayne A. Schneider

Does it ever occur to these people on the right who get in social trouble (not legal trouble) for saying hateful things that when they claim their First Amendment rights are being violated, that they are trying to defend the use of hate speech? Set aside, for the moment, whether or not the government is taking away their First Amendment rights. They are defending the use of hate speech. Hate speech. And yet they claim not to be hateful people.

Well, it’s a valid question whether the First Amendment should protect hate speech. It’s just interesting that they’d make themselves the object of that discussion.
