mindmeld,

re:My opinion is that if someone is engaged in hate speech that clearly is intended to inflame other people to violence, then they are just as responsible as those who commit the crimes.

It does seem a bit odd that people are happy to engage in a discussion of Hate Crimes, but obvious hate speech that could incite crimes is considered protected speech. I don't think anyone actually believes the intent of free speech was to allow hate speech - rather the free expression of dissenting or unpopular views. If not Hate Speech surely it somehow fits into the yelling fire in a theatre class by endangering others.
