Well, bare minimum, trying to incite violence towards and/or discriminate against people for their genetic makeup, orientation, identity, and/or religious beliefs.

"We must hunt and kill every last filthy Fascist!"

[Insert Disliked Subgroup Here] are a clear and present threat to everyone else's freedom and survival by definition. It's always self defense.

I altered your quote to better express its actual sentiment. Also, now it's universal.

The issue is not whether fascists are jerks. The issue is whether the statement is hate speech when the [Inserted Subgroup] is one you wish to protect, but perfectly acceptable when it's one you dislike or hate.
