Without the thought there is no crime. People who practice racial/homophobic/gener related/religious hate are worse than your average yobs, yes indeed, so punish them more.

Because hate SPREADS so they are encouraging others to do so
So you're in favor of policing people's thoughts? And you're against freedom of expression? Every crime is motivated by hate/greed/lust etc, people get punished for what they do, it's not for us to judge people's motives. Self defense is an exception of course.
