There was a reason hate speech laws were enacted.
Free Speech has its limits.

There's a reason hate speech laws were enacted alright. To silence dissent from the PC liberal agenda.

"Hate" speech is not evenly defined. There are those on the left who say minorities cannot be racist because they don't have the power structure to keep anyone down.

Are you saying you agree with hate speech/crime legislation?

Hmmm. That's what Hitler said when he locked up anyone who even attempted to defend the Jews.

I completely disagree. Hate speech laws are horrible. Who decides what is "hate speech"? You? Me? Some liberal judge? In Canada, where they have more experience with these things they have found simply reading the Biblical passages that enjoin against sodomy is "hate speech". That's right! Read the Bible off the pulpit and GO TO JAIL!

Amazing! A conservative in favor of hate speech laws. Never thought I would see the day.
