Hate Speech

Wikipedia defines hate speech this way:

Hate speech is, outside the law, any communication which disparages a person or a group on the basis of some characteristic such as race or sexual orientation. In law, hate speech is any speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group. The law may identify a protected individual or a protected group by race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or other characteristic. In some countries, a victim of hate speech may seek redress under civil law, criminal law, or both.

America clearly has a problem with radical right-wing hate speech. Since mainstream Republicans are not in any way denying what these extremist radicals are saying, their very obvious silence is aiding and abetting the inciting of violence and racial prejudice.

In America we hesitate to inhibit anyone's freedom of speech. But these right-wing freaks have gone far, far over the line. Is hate speech now deregulated too? How obvious can one be in calling for the assassination of people like President Barack Obama before the law enforcement part of the government gets its ass moving?
