"I support Free Speech, but I do not consider _______ Free Speech."

44. You may well not support the OP's position, but that shouldn't be what the jury is about

The alerter pointed out that the thread starter was accused of 'supporting hate speech', which, I would say, is an insult of that DUer. In addition, the post in question explicitly accuses them (plus many other unnamed DUers) of supporting bigotry and dehumanization of others, as well as the 'dry humping' remark you note, and explicitly accuses that DUer of falling over themselves to defend hate speech against someone they hate - ie Muslims.

All in all, this accuses the thread starter not of being wrong about what hate speech is (and they may be wrong), but of hating Muslims themselves, and supporting hate speech, bigotry, and dehumanization. These are, I'd say, serious accusations and insults. And it goes on to say the admins here seem to be fine with the hate the alerter think is being expressed, and DU of being a "haven for right-wing haters".

I'm sure you don't like anyone saying you're "less of a Democrat", and I'm not trying to say that at all. I'm saying the big problem with the alerted post is that it accused the thread starter of being "less of a Democrat" by calling them a hate-speech supporter, Muslim-hater and bigot.
