'Hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment,' Portland mayor says. He's wrong.

National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie, 432 U.S. 43 (1977) (also known as Smith v. Collin; sometimes referred to as the Skokie Affair), was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with freedom of assembly. The outcome was that the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the use of the swastika is a symbolic form of free speech entitled to First Amendment protections and determined that the swastika itself did not constitute "fighting words". Its ruling allowed the National Socialist Party of America to march.[1]

Aside from that, did you not consider what might happen if right-wingers got hold of a municipality
somewhere and decided to use your criteria? Expression of any views to the left of John McCain's
would become "hate speech".

This is a slope we'd best not head down...
