"Violence is never the answer" that's about as clear and concise as I can say it.  And I said it in the post you quoted.  Don't be dishonest.

"Defending a Nazi" was in relation to the idea that your post was NOT defending nazis as it should not have been.

Yes...a huff.  It's a fictional show. Are to stop all forms of fictional media from saying anything "we" disagree with or that "might" incite violence?

You post said your bigger problem was that some people get called nazi and fascists when they are not.  

Quote:Unfortunately, the words Nazi and fascist seem to get thrown about rather blithely by some and frequently end up meaning "someone who's opinions I don't like". Even if this were not the case, the idea that words or opinions justify physical violence is in direct contrast to one of the bedrock principles of this nation. Who gets to decide what person's views are extreme enough the physical violence against the person is acceptable?

I am not for violence at all. You brought up the subject of real nazis versus just those accused of it.

To the bold:  If you wish to ignore my one, simple to read statement that "violence is never the answer" I can't continue this discussion.
