Outlawing inciting hatred is kind of close to making hatred illegal.. if it's illegal to encourage someone to hate someone else...

I think the reactions of people claiming 'hate speech' are similar to people that claim 'offense' to things said about them, their particular race, creed, belief, etc..
Free speech is messy, unclean and not always right. But the alternative of having other people decide what we can and cannot say is much much worse.
