The second sense is much, much closer to the first sense than the last.

If I point out the flaws in the comparison I don't see how that's reckless. Not pointing out the flaws is wreckless.
That said:
A) I hate tuna
B) I hate Canucks fans
C) I hate minority
B & C are more alike than A.
There are very big differences. That said, where should the retainer on freedom be?
People will abuse the rhetoric to suit their needs (much like how you used my Kessler example, but ignored the Canuck fans base example, I'm not mad, or offended heck it further proves the point I was making).
Let's remember: photon said he wasn't sure where his opinion fell, someone else said they didn't understand that point of view. I was just explaining it.
There should be laws against hate speech on minorities. I'm glad there is.
