69. for the 1000th time

HATE SPEECH IS NOT ILLEGAL IN THE USA

***hate crimes are***

hate speech is not

*if* u believe in the 1st amendment, then you believe it DOES protect hate speech

btw, bill oreilly does NOT believe the 1st amendment protects hate speech

do u agree with him?

freedom of speech DOES include hate speech

case law shows that

over and over and over and over again

it *is* illegal in Canada, the UK, Germany, France, etc.

but in the USA we have a 1st amendment

freedom: it's what's for breakfast
