"1984" all over again

Via Drudge, a commentary on Boulder's new hate speech hotline. So now, if we feel the least bit offended, we can call in the authorities. And the First Amendment means what again? That we should forever be free from any speech that disturbs us? I don't think so. And the worst thing is, ideas like this make me want to be rude, just because someone's telling me my rudeness is "illegal."

If a crime is committed, prosecute to the full extent of the law, but don't throw in "hate speech" mumbo-jumbo to try and make sure the perpetrator gets more time. It's the thought police again, always being so "1984."
