Free Speech is not Hate Speech and Hate Speech is not Free Speech

It's time we make it clear that when that SOB Trump opens his mouth he engages in hate speech. Just because he is running for President, that does not give him a pass on laws that govern the kind of speech that is accepted and the kind of speech that is prohibited.

I think we need to remind the M$M that they are not covering a normal candidate giving a normal political speech - they are in fact promoting and repeating hate speech to their vast audiences.

Every time I hear Trump speak I hear: sexism, racism, fighting words, and invitations for foreign governments to hack US government servers and interfere with our political process. It's time to hold him accountable.
