Free Speech VS Hate SPEECH? (Where do you draw the line)?

[Andre L]

I am not saying that everyone who is a bigot should be prosecuted for expressing their views because if we did our first Amendment would be in jeopardy. Freedom of SPEECH IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH regardless if it is hate speech or "peace" speech, as long as it doesn't incite violence people should have the right to express themselves.

HOWEVER, DON'T YOU THINK THAT ON PUBLIC AIRWAYS THERE SHOULD BE SOME PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS OF WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE AND NOT ACCEPTABLE?? Religion is tricky in this regard b/c some hate speech could be percieved as the free expression of religious views.

Below is a short youtube clip of a PREACHER "DOGGING" homosexuals. You be the judge of whether this material should have been censured from television.

Outlawing hate speech will not put an end to hate. Outlawing Free speech with stifle those who would speak out on hate, and help hide those who hate.

Censorship, as practiced by a parent turning off the damn boob tube, is the only form that I find acceptable. I frequently censor such haters as Limbaugh with the flip of a switch.
