Quote of the Day – Hate Speech Edition
It’s easy to say “Free speech doesn’t equal hate speech!” It sounds very nice and pleasing and respectful. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s EXACTLY what free speech means — it means that your ideological enemy has the right to say exactly what you hate. – Lissa Guess what, guys.
