You know why there's no law about hate speech? Because the constitution was written in a different time. The world has changed, we can't ONLY focus on what was written hundreds of years ago. Laws or not, protection or not, you can't support that type of thing - and this has gone so far away from the video at hand, just the overall point.
Yeah, you're right, let's just do away with The Constitution and make up the rules as we go along. This is so incredibly stupid. If "progressives" wants a law banning "hate speech", then they have to go through the amendment process like everyone else does, and it would never happen. Because even most level headed liberals wouldn't be for a law of the government literally controlling what comes out of your mouth.
Ian, dude, we're not just talking about speech here. Yeah maybe there were some weird points being made in this video but they're not just having arguments, people are being arrested and pepper sprayed. And hate speech is defined as an attack on a group based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and nationality so yeah, if its an attack, it's crossing the line. The constitution wasn't created to defend racism, prejudice and invalid attacks, and if it was, our country has some problems.
Did you see the actual incident. The people being pepper sprayed threw a freaking brick through a window at Tom Tancredo, a Senior citizen who possibly could have had some serious problems if that hit him. They deserved to be arrested. They all acted like buffoons. And there is no such thing as hate speech in our law. YES, the Constitution WAS created to defend all of those things. That's what free speech is about. And it also protects our right to protest these things peacefully.
All of you are absolutely brain dead. It is quite obvious none of you even know what Tom Tancredo's stances are on the issues. Hate speech isn't free speech? That's news to me. How about you read The Constitution! Hate is a subjective. Who is to determine what is hate? Free speech was made to protect all controversial speech or else we wouldn't need it. GROW UP!
