"Who decides what is hateful speech and what is factual speech? The speech police?"

Now that is a stupid question!If your priest, Imam, or Rabbi stand in a house of worship and askes the believers to kill the non- believers, or to hate and force convert the non-believers. Mr. PC, does that that look like a fair definition of a hateful preaching?

I'm not sure; I'm not the speech police. If you pray for conversion of muslims, is that hate speech? If you express feelings that demoncrats should be jailed for spitting on boy scouts carrying the American flag, is that hate speech? If your priest leads the congregation in prayer to end abortion, is that hate speech? If your religion teaches that homosexuality is a sin, is that hate speech? Would you say that James Carville spews hate speech with every breath he takes?

Are you willing to draw up a list of hate speech crimes? I still say that one mans hate is another mans truth.

I am guilty of a lot of hate speech according to our left-wing friends. How long before they have the power to arrest me for expressing my feelings? Where do you draw the line?
