First Amendment -- it's that thing that the Westboro Baptist Church, NAMBLA, Skinheads, and Anti-Americans like Alex Jones hide behind.

Time to take another look at "fire in a crowded movie house". How about "kill in a crowded chat room". Or "here's his home address" on Facebook?? Not okay. They should be seen as speech crimes just like Treason or incitement. Any reckless disregard for the safety of others -- left or right -- you try to cause harm through speech -- you should go to jail.

Nothing.

But if people are showing up to your house because someone posted your address on the web.


Dehumanizing the President by calling him "chimp" (or any overtly racist slur) also has no place in our society? Less intelligent people are easily taken in by ignorant hate speech and motivated to toward violent physical acts. Anyone who promotes these acts by ginning up racial hatred should be under a microscope and on a watch list. Then, when they say or suggest something specific, we nab them and throw them in jail.

Good luck with that.

We live in a society where someone can sue and win mucho dinero if they spill a hot cup of coffee THAT THEY ASKED FOR on themselves.

So lets see....who determines that the speech was meant to harm? What if that was not the intent but the result? What of there are two contexts it can be taken in?

So in the case of Tawana Brawley....

Should Sharpton AND Brawley been arrested in your scenario?

How about all of those that spoke out and incited hatred when they referred to the Martin case as a racial act without knowing for sure one way or another?

How about the Tea Party saying the government spends too much? What of some whacko shoots a democratic congressman who he thinks spends too much? Should all in the tea Party go to jail?

They only need to record their own words as they speak. They could also DVR MSNBC.

Study completed for free!

Nope. Founders wrote the constitution to protect hate speech, nice speech, bad speech etc.

"Hate Speech" is what is used in Europe and Canada to open the door to speech restrictions overall. Because what is "Hate Speech"? It is like "fairness". It can mean anything. So anything can be "hate speech." "Liberalism destroys lives and opportunities" could be branded hate speech.

 

[WelfareQueen]

This is all about restricting free speech and controlling people. Nothing more.

"Republicans hate the poor" can be deemed as hate speech

how have you arrived at that conclusion?

Libs: say if people claim gay rights is hate speech?

No, that's just stating obvious truth. Really, just ask them.

Because it will restrict free speech and make people watch their words and only speak in a way that is deemed appropriate by legislators.

"Government study" is an oxymoron.

There is no reason for the study, because of constitutional protection of free speech and that the extremes of the left and the right engage in it. novasteve is one of the great proponents of hate speech.

a study does no such thing. a study merely gathers information and presents conclusions.

The study is preparatory to action. Otherwise why do it?
