I think both sides of the argument on this issue have strong cases.

Hate speech is free speech
The abortion debate is a debate. I happen to think that the "100% no questions asked pro life" approach is pretty abhorrent and totally wrong-headed (in that I don't think some people actually understand the potential harm, at all), but I can concede that it is nonetheless a debate.

Some of the things he's had to say about "Arabs" and Palestine is straight up hate speech. There's no two ways about it. The quote read out at 13m into the video:

"Israeli's like to build - Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage."

"The Palestinian Arab population is rotten to the core"


He said the first quote, then later tried to take it back and say he "only meant Palestinians" (still hate speech) and NOW he's trying to say that he only meant "Hamas leadership"... but if you believe that you'll believe anything. He was quite clear in his choice of words and it's obvious what he meant. HE knows that it's hate speech too which is why he's tried so hard to "take it back" after being called out.
