Hate speech often issue of perspective

Regarding the UPTV controversy, I thought the issue of freedom of speech had been settled during the Enlightenment. If you aren't willing to protect the speech of those with whom you most disagree, then you don't support freedom of speech.

We might compare the consequences of hate speech on UPTV with those of Colin Powell's speech before the United Nations in February 2003. If lies contained in propaganda that have genocidal consequences are not defined as hate speech, then hate speech isn't the problem. There's also a credibility problem with a definition of anti-Semitism that is applied to both Rev. Pike and Jimmy Carter.
