Give me an example of "hate speech".

Inciting to riot.

Hmmmm....

Inciting to riot: "Inciting a riot applies to a person who organizes,
encourages, or participates in a riot.

I think we should kill all the __________. They shouldn't be allowed
to breathe our air!

That's hate speech that could end up encouraging others to riot or
commit criminal acts that would qualify as "Hate Crimes".

No - that's inciting to riot. Has nothing to do with "hate speech".

They are two seperate concepts.

Depends on how you fill in that obvious BLANK space I included. Insert
a racial slur or the name of a specific "protected class", and it
becomes both inciting to riot, AND hate speech

I understand what you are saying, but they are different.

For instance:

If I called a group of people "vegetarian tree hugging salad suckers"
and they are incensed enough to riot, that's inciting a riot.

If I say the same thing and they don't riot, is that still hate
speech?

Okay, I now understand that you merely want to be obtuse, and purposely "not get
it".

Not at all - it's a perfectly valid question.

To wit: What constitutes "hate speech".

Let's try something different then.

Let's say that during the course of a conversation here, that I make a
comment about Christian Conservatives - say "all Christian
Conservatives are retarded". Further, let's say that I am offended by
that comment.

Would that be hate speech?

Define "obscenity"

No changing the subject and answer the question.

Would that be hate speech?

I didn't change the subject. After your many evasive manuvers to avoid the
truth, I thought I would give you another possible way to look at things without
completely losing face.

Unfortunate that you can't seem to define what you claim you know.

Saying that you know it when you see it is not only infantile, it
shows a complete lack of intellectual honesty.

Sad really.

I'm not the one who seems to be having a very hard time understanding this. Go
ahead, tell us what you think "Hate Speech" is. We are all waiting.

It's pretty simple.

I don't believe it exists.
