The latest addition to the left's censorship arsenal is the term 'hate speech'. It is the twin sister of the term 'hate crime'.

Both terms are not only useless and unnecessary but provide an opportunity for one group to target members of an opposing group selectively.

The reason this is the case is because there is no objective and universally accepted definition for the term 'hate', let alone 'hate speech' or 'hate crime'. 

As in so many such cases the whole thing turns on who gets to determine the definition of these terms which are most certainly intentionally elastic in order to allow for the 'concept creep' I spoke of in another piece.
