Don't give me that crap you know damned good and well what hate speech is.
Ooh... a little testy when I ask you to define hate speech. I'm only sorry I didn't predict this would be your reaction in my initial post. I knew it would be something like this...
And I could have guaranteed you were going to evade the question.
So what is hate speech? Are the liberals coming down on the mullahs (and the Kent St. professor) for calling for a jihad against America? Is that hate speech or is that speech protected by their 1st Amendment rights?
See, if you can't tell me ahead of time the definition of hate speech then it entirely undermines any credibility you have labeling something as hate speech AFTER the fact. This allows people like you to pick and choose what they think is hate speech based on furthering your own political agenda or ideology.
This is exactly the problem with the YouTube label. It allows people to decide arbitrarily what is hate speech. This leads down the slippery slope of taking away freedom of speech one sentence at a time, until all that's left is politically correct crap that the government says is ok.
Ok. This time I will make a prediction. You won't answer the question again and you will reply with an insult and/or a diversionary topic.
