"Ok..what about Hitler using hate speech to propagate his call to kill all those jews? Suppose someone still use that kind of hate speech today, would you still let them do it? Is that kind of speech still worth protecting?"
Not a great analogy. Hitler's hate speech was effective because those with dissenting views were killed or jailed.
Don't get me wrong I am no fan of hate speech, but I am a fan of free speech and dont feel others should be allowed to regulate what I or anyone else says.
Any implication of planning to act on the hate however is a totally different case and grounds for a criminal charge.
