I totally disagree, and if we're talking about slurs then they can have word censorship applied (the same way media will report on the use of the N-word with * to obscure most of it).
Sorry, but if you have the power to ruin people's lives over a standard you cannot clearly define and after the fact won't even provide their speech as context for your decision, then that's just straight political censorship.
I also draw a huge distinction between publishers repeating the words of others and people actually saying those things.
By your standards, the publisher of Mein Kampf reprints is just as guilty as Hitler himself -- even though they had nothing to do with writing it.
