@McGentrix,
Quote:However, in regards to life outside of A2K, and especially on public streets where permits have been acquired etc, they have the right to spew whatever garbage they wish.
Up to the incitement of violence, right?
Quote:In return, the public is not forced to listen to the rhetoric or react to it or respond to it in any way.
True. But just because they're not forced to listen or respond doesn't mean they
can't listen or respond. They have right of free speech as well as the people with the permit. Having the permit gives the demonstrators the right to assemble, and an assembly, as with a parade, can be expected to draw a crowd of onlookers.
Quote:(...)the self-righteous leftists don't believe in free speech or equality. They feel that only their form of thought is "correct" thought and only "their speech" is free speech.
Oh come on, you can say the same thing about self-righteous conservatives, self-righteous ex-smokers, and self-righteous moralists of all persuasions. That's what "self-righteous" means. Duh. Thing is, McG, a lot of people you would be quick to label as "leftists" have legitimate reasons for opposing and exposing racist white nationalism for what it really is. And no, this doesn't give them the right to silence demonstrators who hold opposing views. But guess what? The vast majority of counter-demonstrators did not engage in violence — the "self-righteous" leftists you seem to be so worked up about are a small minority.
Quote:It's these people that need to be feared ...
Feared? Yeah, the next time I don my SS uniform and walk down Main Street carrying a shield decorated with symbols of fascism I'll be quaking in my jackboots. I'd be in such fear that I might even have to carry a gun.
Put down? You mean as in
euthanized? Or just discouraged? Funny that you would be castigating "self-righteous leftists" as not believing in free speech or equality yet you're quick to advocate the suppression of free speech that
you object to. All people are created equal — but conservatives are more equal than others, is that it?
