" However, I consider what he does is to be more akin to incitement to violence, with what occurred in Charlottesville being a prime example of that."
He did not directly incite any kind of violence or bigotry, so it is protected under the First Amendment. By your logic, or lack thereof, the following people could also be arrested and charged with Hate Crimes:
1. Al Sharpton. His hateful, racist, and anti- Semitic words directly incited the Crown Heights Riots and the Freddy's Fashion Mart incident.
2. Al Gore. James Jay Lee (The radical environmentalist nutjob who a few years ago held three people hostage in the Discovery Channel office building before being gunned down by the police) was directly inspired/ motivated to commit that action by Gore's works, especially 'An Inconvenient Truth.' btw, have I mentioned how happy I am that Gore's recent sequel to that crockumentary was a miserable bomb in the box office?
3. Michael Moore. In 2002, a Jihadist cell launched a suicide- bombing attack against a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia that killed a lot of people, mostly Australian tourists. When the cell's ringleader was caught and interrogated by the police, he said he orchestrated the bombing because he saw "A lot of whiteys dancing there and a lot of whiteys drinking there." When he went on trial, his lawyer relied on the standard liberal tactic of portraying his client as a brave and noble hero taking a righteous stand against Western racism/ Islamophobia/ Imperialism. In his arguments, he cited a wide variety of anti- Western books, including Michael Moore's book 'Stupid White Men,' which coincidentally has a chapter entitled "Kill Whitey."
4. Earth First's leaders and the writers/ editors of 'The Earth First Journal.' Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber, selected his victims because they were associated with companies on Earth First's "Eco- F&cker Hit List," including at least one completely innocent man who was targeted because an issue of 'The Earth First Journal' falsely accused his company of aiding in a crime against the environment.

103. Our side should get to author what is hate speech.
If we go about it properly, the Right won't be able to say or pen one of their ideas without fear.
First we have to get complete power again..."
Ok, this is a terrifying sentiment.
What this DUchebag is proposing would be sheer, unabashed tyranny, of the sort that led to the creation of the world's Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, Pol Pots, etc..
