Does free speech mean free hate speech? What would Buddhists have done during Hitler's reign?

 Subject: Powerful, inspirational event (ONE NATION...UNITED AGAINST HATE Rally and Candlelight Vigil)

 Sunday night at beautiful Hampton Park in Charleston, S.C. led by Pastor Thomas Dixon:
Cal Morrison: (a veteran and new inspirational friend):
"Thank you Thomas Dixon for gathering us who understand the violent realities generated by HATE. But, more importantly, we understand that HATE, like all other diseases, can be mitigated and/or cured with the appropriate response, education, and LOVE.
We must continually engage individually and collectively against HATE!

Also, we must demonstrate to the forces of HATE that the forces of LOVE is greater in numbers, purpose and effect on America. America is best suited for whatever the best is!" 

   

AND/OR? Does free speech mean free hate speech? What would Buddhists have done during Hitler's reign?

To go more deeply into it, Here is a take into freedom of thought from the Plum Village tradition of Buddhism, The Third Mindfulness Training. I just love this and use it as an affirmation every day: Rev. Ed Kosak

Aware of the suffering brought about when we impose our views on others, we are determined not to force others, even our children, by any means whatsoever-such as authority, threat, money, propaganda or indoctrination-to adopt our views. We are committed to respecting the right of others to be different, to choose what to believe and how to decide. We will however, learned to help others let go of and transform fanaticism and narrowness through loving speech and compassionate dialogue.
