Peoples attitudes on ATS lately go way past just making it known that the law allows for Nazis to have a rally. You yourself used a famous anti-Nazi quote in support of Nazis, as if we are all in danger if Nazis are prevented from spreading their hate.
Maybe it's because we find it disturbing that so many are justifying the wholesale curtailing of free speech because they don't like that speech?
For one thing, you are simply assuming that allowing these people to hold their rally will equate to a sudden rash of it spreading like wildfire across the nation and becoming a common thing.
I'm not talking about banning any type of speech. It just seems to me a lot of people are making excuses for the current Nazism because of their political leanings. And their hate for the left.
Until and unless they start a widespread campaign to threaten private property and persons, they are no more or less odious than any of those other groups I mentioned.

IMHO, instead of trying to out-protest and shout down the Nazis, they should be engaged in debate. Only then will the true idiocy of their historically inaccurate and ineffective theories come to light.

Do you think you should be able to talk about pot legalization in a state that doesn't have it legalized?

Just goes to show. People want to see those Nazi flags, Nazi salutes, and Nazi chants on American streets.
I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists. twitter.com... …

White supremacy is vile and disgusting. The people exercising their rights are cowardly morons hiding behind the constitution they wish to destroy.
The answer to them rather than take away the right of free speech is to keep saying how vile, disgusting, and cowardly these savage monsters are with our free speech. It's to protest them peacefully if they come to your town. Make up giant puppets showing hideous creatures and make fun of them with witty little park theater presentations.
They want you to react violently and take away free speech. This is their goal. Their goal is not to exercise their free speech it is to incite violence for their cause.
Don't be fooled into playing. Protest their vile ideas with thought and peace and they will disolve.
Throw bottles at them and watch them grow. Watch your free speech get cotrolled.

Yes. But if the basis for pot legalization rested on the idea of exterminating an entire race of people and spreading that ideology along with it I might not feel the same.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
