I'm not convince "Uck-Fay Eta-Bey" qualifies as hate speech these days,
anyway.  Something like those guys who harrassed some woman via twitter
with insistent threats of death and rape is probably more like hate
speech these days.  

Remember in the 1980s when parents complained that the "A-Team" was too
violent, and magazine articles counted bullets shot per show?  These
days, A-Team doesn't look violent at all.  Hate speech has evolved in
the same way, I think.  You'd probably have to threaten very specific
things to very specific people to 'qualify.'
