The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. When we start creating "Hate Speech Laws", we are playing with fire. We don't need some numbnuts politician telling us what is and what isn't "hate speech", because then we are on the road to restricting speech.
It's bad enough we have colleges/universities creating their own "Bias" gestapos, cracking down on people who "make [insert group here] uncomfortable" just because they use words or actions that are on some "List" made up by overpaid campus bureaucrats (who are forced or voluntarily create the list) or pussified student group(s).
Calling a Black person the "N" word? Yeah...that's bad.
Calling a gay person a "fag"? Yeah...bad again.
People who do that crap are idiots. But idiocy is not a crime. Don't go threatening everyone's rights because of idiocy.
