Agreed. And what, among so many things, modern Liberals and their ill educated snowflakes get wrong about "Hate Speech" is that the more it's suppressed the more attractive and credible it can become to some. It's not much different than any other type of prohibition. It can glamorize what would otherwise be disregarded.

And the broader they define it into anything with which they disagree the less effective their tantrums become. Thankfully, most of them are too dumbed down and indoctrinated to understand this and so they continue to dig that hole to irrelevancy.

George Carlin made a lot of money saying the seven words that TV prohibited.

That’s what these fools just don’t understand. Is there a right to deny the Holocaust, say the n-word or whatever reasonable people deem disgusting? Actually there is. SHOULD anyone say such things? That’s another matter. But this is the beauty of the 1A. It lets us identify the a-holes among us. One of the rare times I ever agreed with the ALL was when Abe Foxman long ago said censorship is the WORST way to deal with hate speech. The best way is to CHALLENGE it with more speech.
