    Since Sweet Lou could not let go of this argument weeks ago i will say this. If these groups go out and encourage violence against peopqle i think that should be taken down because that would be illegal anyway.

    Saying we hate Mexicans and hate them comimg here is their right. Im glad i have my freedom of speech and its a slippery slope to condone censorship of anything that doesn't encourage illegal behavior

    Saying you hate Mexicans and them being here IS encouraging violence against them.

    Is saying you hate Republicans encouraging violence against Republicans?

    If you say the Republicans in our country are rapists, murderers, and drug dealers it might be. If calling them invaders of our nation and a threat to us it might be. If that person were the leader of the nation and expected to set the tone for the nation it might be. If a person who went out to kill as many Republicans as possible echoed those exact same thoughts, it would be reasonable to say that. If that person/leader was at a rally and laughed while people shouted out to shoot Republicans, then it would make sense.

    Both sides of the political spectrum says vitriolic things about the opposition. I'm sure you've heard of the very distinguished vernacular of "libtards", "unAmerican, "terrorist sympathizers", "stalinists" etc.

    The difference is that one side makes broad brush statements about specific races, ethnicities and religions and then turns the general public into believing those specific entities are the root cause of systemic issues in the nation thus creating a segment of the population who will resort to violence to cure the root of systemic causes.
