Hanna Barbera Biblical cartoons

Not all of us are that tolerant.  Personally, I think trying to spread baseless conspiracy theories about one's perceived enemies is classic hate speech.

It's all very well to disagree with other people's ideas and to consider them destructive, but when you accuse them of knowingly being destructive with no proof, then that's hate speech.  I also consider Trump's assertions of a Democratic conspiracy to commit voter fraud to be hate speech for the same reason.  He is not railing against voter fraud in general.

There'd be a lot of hate speech on here if we went by your definition. It's not the first time, someone uses the broad brush and their conspiracy theories for a post.

Yes, I know.  I have mentioned my problem with other posters in the past, including several atheists who are repeat offenders by this definition.

I don't think these incidents should pass without comment, however, since we are all becoming too used to hate speech in ordinary affairs.
