I am saying that it is ok for anyone to express themselves in any way they choose to convey their message, be it labeled hate speech or not.
This is much more than a matter of labeling or political correctness.
Should W be a vehicle for hate speech? no. Should hate speech be allowed? yes. Should it be its sole purpose? No.
What I and others are saying is that it should not be allowed.
The US government is a vehicle of hate speech if you're a fundamentalist muslim.
No the US government is not. They have been very careful not to broadbrush all followers of Islam.
