RIGHTS that are not understood or valued can be too easily taken
away. That's why the results of a poll by Rasmussen Reports are
troubling.
Rasmussen's survey found one in four Americans (28 percent)
believes it would be a good idea to ban hate speech. Rasmussen
loosely defined hate speech as "comments intended to put down or
incite violence against people on the basis of race, religion,
gender, sexual orientation and other legally protected categories."
In fairness, Rasmussen's definition of hate speech makes the
question a little tricky to answer.
Simple hate speech is clearly protected, but speech that incites
violence is a different matter.
