| These groups have the right to freedom of speech according to all of the definitions to the right except for the conservative definition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Some hate groups are against the Constitution and the First Amendment, which protects their right to spread the massages of hate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So, by changing the Constitution, they would be closer to their goal of ending free speech. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Their right to freedom of speech infringes on other people's safety. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One group in this situation will always be denied their rights. I believe those who are harming the other group should be denied their right to freedom of speech. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It does not seem possible to find a way to stop hate groups from spreading a message that encourages violence while upholding the first amendment without opening up all people to the possibility of losing their freedom of speech as well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
