Political speech sometimes involves a lot of words we could say is "hate speech". Is calling someone queer worse then calling them Nazi's, or fascists, or many of the other things I've seen used around SI? I would prefer we not become overly rude and discuss issues with an air of civility, but I'm not delusional enough to believe it's entirely possible. People get going, and say a bunch of things someone may consider hate speech. Those on the left who move their minds like a pack of wolves with the politically correct crowd, almost always have difficulty with free speech. PC speech is about censorship. The term "hate speech" is a term used by a doctrinaire of their philosophy.
