I didn't call them a hate group, I said they were discriminatory and hateful. I disagree, though, because hate groups come in all different shapes and sizes. The bigots that assault people are more blatant in their hate, but their effect is short term. Groups like those that discriminate against others can be more discreet in their hate, but they have a more detrimental effect in the long term because of their attempts to alter policy. Both are just as harmful to society, just in different ways.
