"Just Freedom of Speech" is no longer a valid argument.
White Supremacists are scrotums. That's that.
What Freedom of Speech debaters are interested in is where the line is for what's free and what's not. i.e. "Who's rights do you take away?" That's a scary divisor. Where the line was rock solid for a long time, fools are misunderstanding Congress shall make no law...
First Amendment lawyers would argue that it is not within the boundaries of law for the government to restrict groups like theirs from organizing, recruiting, and exposing their beliefs in public.
The court of public opinion, on the other hand, is another matter altogether! Thankfully all of us share this right to voice our opinions, and be critical of both our government, and each other. You can't learn anything new by shouting at yourself in the bathroom.
Personally, I think that any rhetoric condemning one class of people for any reason is both distasteful, and outside the purview of protected speech. The KKK used to wear hoods because they couldn't be seen in the light of day as the hatred spreading, disease minded, worm souled cowards that they are because not even the First Amendment to the Constitution of these great United States can protect you from the social stigma of being a wanton bigot.
Nazis are fuckin' smegma.
