Gee. I'm really sure that provision was intended for me and not for a Muslim that threatens the lives of Americans or a radical Muslim cleric that announces to his followers they must blow themselves up on crowded buses. No, no. I'm sure they had ME in mind when they wrote the law.

If I engage in the type of hate speech that threatens the safety of another American, the yes. They should arrest me. Like I said, I don't engage in criminal behavior. Threatening someone's life is criminal behavior.

Was it intended for copyright infringement?

My point wasn't what the law was intended to do, but what the possible abuses would be if it was expanded. Heck, the RICO laws were passed as a way to fight organized crime, and now are being used to prosecute abortion protesters. Was the intention to lock up right to life protesters the reason of the RICO laws? No, but that ended up being the effect.

We will have a liberal president someday. Would you have been happy with the Bill Clinton White House having the legal resources open to it under the PA? I suspect most here would be screaming.

What dream world do you live in? Walk onto your local university and call the first gay person you see a "fag". You'll have a crash course in hate speech....and it won't be pretty.

It's very hard to take you seriously when you use words like "hate speech."
