Yes as long as it does not threaten violence or democracy
No, freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.
Yes if we can define some boundaries
No. While I agree everyone has a right to free speech, you should be able to accept the repercussions that come with espousing divisive and "hate-filled" rhetoric.
Free speech is important, but hate speech against a specific group should not be allowed, the only thing about that, that should be done is some form of education and acceptance to whatever the hate speech is directed at.

No, since the first amendment does not protect any form of speech- it protects the right to say things, not the right to not feel repercussions of those things.
No, freedom of speech only protects you from the government in that they can't arrest you for what you say, and if we make hate speech legal, that treads on other people's rights and sets a really bad precedent that some people are less than others.
