To a person people have said the Nazis have the right to free speech...but we hate nazis.

Really? Sure sounded like Nati Bengals thinks that Nazi's shouldn't be allowed to do anything in this country, let alone speak.

Like I said, since I've joined this discussion, I've not seen any of that. I've not read all this posts in this thread or in this forum, but I've nowhere seen anyone trying to make the counterprotesters the bad guys. I have seen some suggest that the counterprotesters aren't innocent of the violence that erupted between the 2 groups, but none that suggest the counterprotesters were the bad ones.

What? I honestly don't know what you're trying to say here. If someone has said that the Nazis have a right to free speech, but no one challenges that claim, than that person is defending Nazis? Please clarify this statement.

But nope.  A constant stream of figuring a way to make the protesters look worse because....uh, free speech!  

Well, I haven't read through the whole thread, but since I started reading (page 18, I think), I have not seen any of those claims.

And I'm done.  

The Nazis root for the Steelers and said they are going to win the Super Bowl. Uh oh.
