I mean, what more evidence do they need?

1. Even just a press boycott of the McHate Impalin rallies would be a big help. //nt

2. Let's start by gathering evidence statements they have made
You must have some hate speech messages they have said you can post here to start?

3. Umm...this is still the U.S. We don't have hate speech laws.
Speech is only illegal if youre inciting a specific crime. Telling people to go out and kill gays is prosecutable. Telling people that gays are evil and don't deserve to live is legal. It's a fine line, but it's a line nonetheless.

4. Um uh, what exactly is this 'hatespeech charge' you write about?
I've never heard of this particular law. Could you please elaborate?
