No Tim, You are NOT God!
Use FCC standards for the 7 words not to use, and clear incitement to violence.
It is NOT your job to constrain a point of view.

It "feels good" to say "hate, division, and violence" are bad. We can all agree on that.
But can we all agree as to what "hate, division, and violence" are?
I don't think we can. In fact we have hundreds of years of history on the books not being able to mark those lines. It's worse today than ever. When the solution to pedophilia in Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg eye's is to lower the age of consent to 12 (
https://www.dcclothesline.com/2017/02/09/supreme-court-justice-ginsburg-favors-decriminalizing-pedophilia-and-child-sex-trafficking/) ... it becomes elementary to understand that one person's "hate", "division", and "violence" is another person's "revulsion", "escape", and "defense".
And, given the overdose of political correctness today, it will only get more ridiculous (
https://thenationalsentinel.com/2018/12/04/one-in-five-u-s-millennials-see-american-flag-as-sign-of-intolerance-and-hatred/) as one in five millennials are taught to view the American flag as hate speech and micro-aggressive. That is 20% at the bat-guano crazy level.
Can you imagine Tim Cook and Apple banning the American flag? I couldn't a year ago. But now I can.
Tim Cook is unqualified to define "sin". But he feels free to define "sin" because it gives him an excuse to silence a conspiracy theorist on the Internet (Alex Jones). I don't follow Alex Jones, but ... Martin Niemöller ... "
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out ..." You all know the story from there, what follows is "evil".

I find his speech “hateful” who do we call to report him to the hate speech police?

Pushing the crime of "hate". Apparently the courts can now see into your soul.
Hate is an emotion....not a crime.

He’d ban Jesus.
Pretty much sums up the left.

Tim Crook needs to be tried, convicted, fined his entire net worth and every single item he owns, and sentenced to work on the wall for 12 months as slave labor.
Do unto them before they do unto us....

Why does anti-hate speech always sound like hate-speech?

Kill Haters! (Might as well get it out there)

As another FReeper pointed out in an earlier thread on Limbaugh’s reaction to this sermon, this seems the height of irony to come out with this message given the original Apple commercial was based on striking out at “Big Brother”.

Like I’m going to take moral instruction from a backbiting, sodomite, authoritarian, seriously.
These people truly live in an echo chamber.

“Hate speech” like the Bible saying homosexual behavior is sinful?

One man’s -
- “Freedom” speech
- “Religion” speech
- “Political” speech
- “Race relations” speech
- “Science” speech
- “Lititure” speech
- “Sex” speech
... is another man’s “Hate” speech

Alex Jones is a loon. So I take it you've listened to him a lot and know that first hand?

One person says something hateful. The media broadcasts it to all of us because it’s good for their careers.

No. Who does he spew hate speech at?

Cook, you pervert, you just need to GTFO out of people’s business.

Even if someone has a bad view on something they need to talk it out.
