Beginning of laws regulating "hate speech"?

edit

Apparently the Illinois statute in question made it illegal to publish literature attempting to incite hate or disparagement of a group of people. Since this is apparently the exact intent of now-current laws proscribing "hate speech", and this case has never been explicitly reversed, how is this holding not current law? Is it that the newer laws consider "hate speech" as a different issue than the "group libel" contemplated here? 75.225.80.120 (talk) 05:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
