I don't know. But can you provide some evidence for this comment please.but this only enforces the favoritism for the far-leftist around here
Also a justification of why you used the term "Hate Speech" would be nice. Generally it's a term used for speech against minority groups. I'm afraid Republicans (and for that matter Democrats) don't actually qualify. Can you not see the difference between being black or gay (something you're born as) and following a specific political viewpoint (something you choose to do)?

Really? I thought a post with derogatory and inciteful remarks about a section of the community would classify as "hate speech" regardless of the size of the community targeted.
Reading the actual post being referred to in the "Labrador?" thread I think it was not unjustified to describe it as "hate speech". Maybe a bit of an over-reaction but hardly something you would think needed to be clarified.

But Moderation possibly isn't the place for us to debate this in detail. :wink: I'll start a thread in General when I have time. See you there. :twisted:
