Hate Speech has been a subject of political discourse since the founding. Unfortunately, "Hate Speech" has now been established by the national Media as only a one-sided (Right) tactic. This message is regularly repeated and sadly even falsely identified as right wing hate speech (Tucson shooting of Rep. Giffords). The problem is actually non-partisan as it has always been. However, the venom being spewed by the Left is either not mentioned or obtusely justified by the national Media (Reps are racist). In the section below, to balance the message and present the true picture, we identify the "hate speech" on both sides. This page is different from the others on this site. The media outlet will usually be pointing the finger the other way. Thus, it is necessary to use "right leaning" media to identify "left wing" hate speech. And, use "left wing" media to identify "right wing" hate speech. So don't be confused when you read for example "Media Matters" on the right and the The Media Research Center on the left. It is necessary for you our reader to identify accurately the 'hate speech' sources, versus the media outlet, degrading the national political discourse. So left complaints about the right are reported on the right. Right complaints about the left are reported on the left.
Scotland’s hate speech law ignites culture war far outside its borders
4/11/24
from The Washington Post,
4/10/24:
A new Scottish law that criminalizes the “stirring up of” hatred against some groups has triggered a debate far beyond its borders, pitting human rights activists who say it’s needed against a rising tide of harassment and violence against conservative celebrities and politicians who say the law threatens free speech.
Scotland’s law, enacted last week, makes it an imprisonable offense to incite hatred on the basis of race, religion, transgender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability.
“If … it’s intended to stir up hatred because of their membership of that group, then that is a criminal offense,” Nick McKerrell, a senior law lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University, said in a telephone interview Monday. In Scotland, prosecutors recorded 1,884 hate crime charges relating to sexual identity in 2022-23 — representing an eighth consecutive year-on-year increase — in addition to 55 charges relating to transgender identity.
More From The Washington Post (subscription required):
We are confronted regularly with 'love defeats hate' messages. Love being the compassionate messages from the progressive left. "We will not let hate win'. A message that is certainly true, love always conquers hate. But, a message that is terribly misguided in this debate and opposite of the truth regarding where 'hate' resides.
Even Elon Musk has come out and said he will vote Republican because of the liberal hare.
In fact, when you look very dispassionately at those on each side of the issue, you see clearly where 'hate' resides. And, it is the opposite of the media messages, political narratives and popular debate points. An analysis that summarizes this point well:
Just as a wave of crucial midterm primary elections kick off around the country this spring, the conveniently scheduled leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade became America's new weapon of manufactured mass distraction.Left-wing abortifa agitators descended on the Supreme Court steps in Washington, howling, "Fascist scum has got to go."Unhinged TikTokers called for "riots," "gas" and "torches"; "burning it all to the ground" by targeting "all those old white men and the women who support them"; and "mayhem in the streets" that will dwarf the "global protests around George Floyd."One prototypical Hollywood feminist, Amanda Duarte (a self-described "barren, child-eating sex witch"), tweeted her fantasy involving the "little white daughters" of pro-life "white supremacist lawmakers" getting "raped and impregnated by black men."The aborticrats are not just nuts. They're evil.Right on cue, anti-Christian hatred spread like a raging Colorado wildfire across the internet, from the profane, abortion-promoting rabbi who fumed, "Shame on all who hold the cross" and, "Time to go to war" to thousands of his fellow online vigilantes posting, "F—- Christians" with veiled or outright threads of violence.Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union were at the ready in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York City's Foley Square for "impromptu" protests and literal screamfests, where masses of spontaneously gathered rabble-rousers carried spontaneously printed, carbon-copy signs from the billion-dollar-funded giants of the Death Lobby.

Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Boulder, Colo where graffiti was painted on a truck.
St. Patrick's Church in NYC, with parishioners locked in arms praying the rosary, protecting the church against the mobs.
The Loreto House, a pregnancy resource center that provides free assistance for unexpected pregnancies and encourages women not to get abortions, was vandalized with spray paint overnight. On Saturday, both sides of the nonprofit’s main sign on Bonnie Brae Street and the front door were spray painted with the words “Not a clinic,” while the wall next to the front door had graffiti reading “Forced birth is murder.”
This is hate! Attacking an organization whose purpose is helping women in crisis.
To make matters worse, the media puts supposed journalists on camera saying how dramatic this situation is, they want to cry, and how evil the other side of the argument is.
Even the President insinuated that he can't stop people from attacking the homes of Supreme Court justices. As Ted Cruz said ...
This is SICK.
The Biden White House is openly urging rioters to target the Justices’ homes & threaten their families. Is that inciting violence?
Radical Dems want to “burn it all down,” and they are happy to employ violence against anyone who doesn’t comply. https://t.co/wYuCW6xl8n
The mayor of Chicago says this is a 'call to arms'.
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 6, 2022
Today's "nonposition" of the White House on the targeting of justices at their homes is one of the lowest moments in American politics. We have finally hit the bedrock of rage in American politics...
Justice Clarence Thomas said Friday that the judiciary is threatened if people are unwilling to “live with outcomes we don’t agree with” and that recent events at the Supreme Court might be “one symptom of that. ... “It bodes ill for a free society,” he said. It can’t be that institutions “give you only the outcome you want, or can be bullied” to do the same, he said.”
Some say, 'but, wait a minute'. 'Most people don't want Roe overturned, you are arguing against popular, democratic opinion.' Not really. If you dive into those polls and numbers you find most Americans don't know what the ruling means:
Quote: "If Alito’s draft, or something like it, became the law, the Court would be saying: 'You can have as much or as little abortion as you want, America. It’s not in the Constitution, so we have no authority to say what you may or may not do.'” https://t.co/t2IxcOlNv9
75% of nations do not permit abortions after 12 weeks.
The Democrats extreme abortion agenda ignores this reality and these democratic numbers.
This 'hate' is targeted against those who would protect babies lives and the opinions of a majority of people in this country that would limit abortion in much the same way some states already have. To them this is a 'doomsday'. And they hate you and 73% of the people who believe an unborn child is a human being. Can you imagine?
This same 'hateful' element is visible in the attacks they present on the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court was a majority leftwing operation, these haters were very happy to make all decisions in the Supreme Court to legislate rights. They did that with Roe v Wade for 49 years so far. When that was happening, the right went through the constitutional process to win elections to prepare for opportunities to appoint new justices. That ling term strategy finally worked and the Court is now majority right. After this transformation, the 'haters' want to pack the court or t otherwise eliminate it's influence., instead of working to prepare for the next wave of appointments. That long term strategy is unacceptable for those who want to win at all costs, the ends justify their 'hateful' means.
On a broader scale these same people 'hate' the country in which they live. They say it is 'systemically racist', 'homophobic' & toxic masculinity leads to 'misogyny'. They also hate the 75 million people who voted for their opposition. The 'hate' resonant in this group is pervasive, not just limited to this issue.
Below are the polling results taken after the SCOTUS leak was announced. The 'haters' are not listening to the people.
“The share of registered voters who say they are extremely or very enthusiastic about voting this fall rose 6 points between the first survey and the second, but that increase is about even across party lines,” CNN noted.“Among Democrats, 43% now say they are extremely or very enthusiastic, up 7 points. Among Republicans, it’s 56%, up 9 points. And voters who say overturning Roe would make them ‘happy’ are nearly twice as enthusiastic about voting this fall as those who say such a ruling would leave them ‘angry’ (38% extremely enthusiastic among those happy, 20% among those angry).”
There are many ways to compromise on this emotional subject. This possible Supreme Court decisions is a compromise of sorts, giving back to the people the right to make this decision in their own communities. For some reason, the left wing haters, don't want compromise or the people to decide, they only want abortion, frequent, easy & free.
Political narratives abound to make that facts of abortion less apparent and less violent. 'A woman's right to choose'. 'My body, my choice'. 'Take your bans off our bodies'. 'Abortion is women's healthcare'. Abortion is 'reproductive rights'. But, the facts of abortion are still the same.
They threaten you for taking lives when you don't wear a mask or take a vaccine. They tell you that you are risking lives if you don't believe in climate crisis. They tell you if you own a gun you are killing people. But, when you actually take the life of an unborn child, as Pres. Biden said, for some reason these hateful people make excuses in the form of political narratives and have no problem with taking lives.
But, their wrath will come down on you if you don't agree with them. Tyrannical, hypocritical and inconsistent at the least. At the worst, as Ben Shapiro said this weekend:
Any perspective that argues that all women should consider treating their unborn children as their mortal enemies rather than as the most important gift they will ever receive is perverse and evil.
