Under the guise of free speech, many hate groups and individuals have been permitted to inject racism, discrimination and prejudice against minority groups in America.

Many countries, like our neighbor to the north, Canada, have laws against hate speech that provide both criminal and civil penalties to those who engage in racial, ethnic and religious hate speech. While those who practice and publish hate speech that can and has led to violation of the civil and human rights of groups targeted by such speech, may be able to currently hide behind the Constitution, companies that facilitate the promotion this activity by providing a platform from which to do it, are not protected from consumers.

Glen Beck, the host of a national opinion program on Fox News without a legitimate basis, called President Obama a racist. As a result, due to a public outcry, advertisers have removed their ads from his program leaving only a few and of course News Corp, the parent company of Fox News, to subsidize Glenn Beck's hate speech and his propaganda program.

Companies that provide platforms for these groups to publish their hate infecting the entire society should be boycotted and held partially liable if they knowingly permit their services and products to be used to hurt and disparage others.
