Inciting actions based on hatred shoudn't be allowed. Just attempting to get people to join with you in hating someone should. There's a difference, and it involves a crime of deed vs. one of thought.

Let the Nazis do their thing. There aren't that many people who enjoy hatred that much these days. If people ARE haters, they're usually aimed AT Nazis instead of BY them. My fantasy is that these scary-guy wannabes have a little rally and nobody else gives a shit. One tenacious and desperate reporter shows up just in time to catch a bunch of people wandering off dragging their signs and muttering things such as: "Sheesh - there are like 5 guys in sheets yelling at us about the downfall of America and I think I'm not sure I shut the hall light off. Maybe they can find someone else to yell at." The reporter then pulls out a cigarette and goes up to one Nazi wannabe and asks, "Sir - do you have a match?" The other guy fumbles under the elastic, wondering if anyone else wore a fitted sheet, lights the reporters cigarette, and comments, "I bet you'd like to know why we're here today!" The reporter replies, "No, not really. Thanks for the light," and wanders off, whistling a well-known tune.

Acts (and incitement to commit them) should be illegal, words not. It may just come down to the fact that unless someone can say a thing out loud, no one can argue against it. It may be a cultural difference, I don't know. I simply have never felt threatened by someone hurling words at me - at least not since I was a kid and learned how to ignore taunters. There are so many more reasonable, itelligent, and KIND people who deserve attention.
