Wouldn't that be a threat then and not hate speech? Freedom of speech means you have the right to say anything, just like other have the right to not listen.

I don't think you can ignore a threat. So threats virtually negate the "right to not listen."
To me, hate speech is like a threat.
Did you see the video in question? Where was the hate speech? And no, hate speech is not a threat, it's words of hatred, just word's nothing more.
