Opposing ideas is fine, "shouting down" is a rather nebulous term.  If that means preventing someone from even speaking, that's not ok, because you can't do that without infringing on someone's rights.  If a speaker you find offensive is speaking in an auditorium and you form a human chain around that building and forcefully prevent people from entering you are using violence.  It also shows how weak you believe your counter argument to be that you fear anyone hearing the speaker you oppose.

I would only consider blocking people from entering a building "violence" if something was physically done to those trying to enter.

But then I don't think someone asking me what time it is is an affront either.

I'll explain again because I know people are trying to hard so defend the Nazis so they have to keep tweaking their arguments:

Even Nazis can spout their hate and small mindedness freely according to the freedoms given them by "god" and the government of the US. I encourage people to listen to them to demonstrate how stupid and evil they are.

However:

If I saw a Nazi shouting on a street corner I would not act violently. I would yell back that he was evil and not welcome.

Nobody's "free speech" is violated. Everyone who wants to can listen.

Shouting down and constantly opposing hate speech/Nazis is not.

"Free speech" means the government won't stop you.  Doesn't say anything about your fellow citizen.
