With respect to the Nazis, I would say that my toleration for their right to free speech is at least as tolerant as that expressed by the ADL.

But as for your point, which is that it's ok to restrict the free speech of people with dangerous, harmful ideas -- you're simply wrong.

Political speech has the highest protection of any speech, whether the person speaking is Thomas Jefferson or David Duke.

There is no conflict with other rights because speech is speech.

If you don't want to hear it, walk away.
