You know what country they locked people for having a political opinion? Nazi-Germany. You scare me with your "hate-speech" talk. What part of free speech don’t you understand?

I was <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2009/1/9/15937/38308/260#c260" rel="nofollow">smeared in such a fashion at DKos</a> before being banned for using a source they found objectionable (the smear was quite delusional in addition to the opponent claiming he could read my thoughts - how else could you enforce thought crimes?). The citation was accurate, but they penalized me for actually bothering to defend my point. Alan Dershowitz used to call Dr. Norman Finkelstein, the son of parents who were victims of the Holocaust themselves, a "Holocaust denier", and then a "Holocaust revisionist", and finally settled on the term "Holocaust minimizer". Apparently the indignation at reprehensible speech flows only in one direction. I'm curious as to what the official Facebook hate speech policy on the Armenian genocide will be; or is that an issue of lesser importance?
