Eh. They are assholes, but their freedom of speech shouldn't be infringed in that way.
They are certainly a hate group, but I am not generally supportive of legislation that limits speech unnecessarily.

I'm with Ex on this. The right to free speech should not be infringed upon just because a group of people say some truely dispicable things. Society should just shun them. Media should stop reporting on them.
Society can be way more powerful than any government legislation.

I don't see where it says anything about stopping their freedom of speech. It just asks to recognize them as a hate group, which they uncontroversially are.
