Colbert has given many commencement speeches, none of which were protested.

Where did you get the notion I was defending the right? Lol
I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy.
Don't shoot the messenger.

There are many that consider speech they don't like as "hate speech", thus worthy of censorship and condemnation.

That may be your opinion of what hate speech is, but it's not the legal description. Besides that Trump is regularly complaining about things people say about him and implying that he's going to use his dictatorial powers to shut it down.
Oddly, the right-wing is fine with that.

Again, it was bleeped out, and it was on late night television when standards are far more relaxed.
If it it hadn't been bleeped out, then you might have a point, but if "f-bombs" can safely be bleeped on late night with no fines, then there's really no cause for fines here since that precedent has already been set on numerous occasions.

I never gave a definition, I simply pointed out what I have observed on this site.
