Free speech versus hate speech

orthodoxymoron · 03-26-2010, 04:28 PM

Broken record time: I will continue to support the concept of Namaste Constitutional Responsible Freedom. The three qualifying words...maximize true freedom...over an indefinite time-frame. Otherwise...freedom is fleeting. True Freedom vs False Freedom is a subject which should be studied and studied and studied. There is often a very fine line between Free Speech and Hate Speech. If someone exposes fraud, corruption, lies, misuse, and abuse...could this person be shut-up by charging them with 'hate speech'? Can websites and forums which are exposing fraud, corruption, lies, misuse, and abuse...be shut-down by charging them with 'hate speech'?
