There is a problem when the honest opinion of one person is offensive to another person. People should be able to disagree without getting angry, especially when it comes to politics. However, often people get upset when they hear opinions they disagree with and this sometimes leads to insults and sometimes even accusations. Often the accusations are based on an intentional misinterpretation of what someone has said and this gets us to the topic of hate speech. What exactly is hate speech? You'd expect it to be a matter of when someone says something hateful, but often simply expressing certain opinions is deemed hate speech. Recently, even saying "Christ is king" has been considered to be hate speech by some people. This seems bizarre, but even flying an historical flag has been claimed to be hate speech by certain media pundits. How have things gotten this crazy?
