Where have you been??? Hate speech does far more than hurt people's feelings. At "best" it creates a climate where people do not feel comfortable joining groups (i.e. railfan organizations). At worst, it leads to violence involving severe injury or death which has happened plenty of times in the United States.
You focus on rights, but say nothing about responsbilities. That leads to anarchy.
Who defined what "hate speech" is? You? Mickey Mouse? Brian Stelter?
There's no hope for you. You're too much of a bleeding-heart, mamby-pamby liberal. But, just in case you'd like to educate yourself, here's some videos that might open your eyes. But I doubt it. I added a new one.

Bigoted by

Excellent! You have just as much a right to air your thoughts as I do. We're both winners. Just as long as we know not to say things that would incite violence, like what the Democrat Maxine Waters and whole bunch of others like to do and, since they're liberal Democrats, face no repercussions. Are calls for violence only allowed by liberal Democrats?

> I . . . owe you no explanation why the ACLU defended the Nazis 45 years ago.
You know as well as I do but you're too cowardly to admit it. The ACLU was defending free speech. Plain and simple. There's no other explanation other than that one.
Given your unrestrained hostility towards so many people, neither BOB2 nor I have no obligation to explain anything to you.
I don't have any hostility toward anyone. I've never called for violence on a par with Maxine Waters, Ayanna Pressley and Kamala Harris.
There's people who I think are goofy and stupid and I like to ridicule them. For the time being, we can still do that. The police state that the liberal left is pushing so hard for isn't quite all that encompassing --- yet.
I just like to call out hypocritical bull$hit coming from liberals like yourself as much as Brittany Hughes (the woman in the video above).
