Yes (D), Hate Speech should not be counted as Free Speech. Being allowed to be discriminatory is not in our constitution.

Being allowed to be a Democrat isn't specifically mentioned in the Constitution either. Therefore, it would be perfectly Constitutional to jail all Democrats.

No, being a Democrat is not mentioned in the constitution, but that does not give the government the right to put me in jail, unless I have committed a legitimate crime and to my knowledge, I have not.

Freedom of Speech, was not intended for bigots, to justify the inexcusable behavior. That is not what Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Speech, gives a person a right to criticize the government, criticize another group, criticize a religion, criticize another race without being put in jail. IT DOES NOT give a person an excuse for a bigot, to say Racist slurs, that may cause motivation for violent behavior against, that specific group. Hate Speech, is not included in Freedom of Speech. Hate Speech, is anything but free.
