Free speech must be an absolute right, of there is no "free" speech at
all.  Libel laws provide suficient protection to us all.  Hate laws are
just a way of furthering the political agenda of those in power. 
Unfortunately for the framers of so-called hate laws, they may not be in
power forever. Thats why the 1st ammendment to the U.S. constitution is
so important. It is a safeguard against tyranny.  Too bad we don't have
the same rights here.
