But saying we should go easy on Nazis because the term gets bandied about by two political parties? Equally ridiculous. There are Nazis, don't go easy on them.
Ugh, I can't believe I'm still having the explain the point made in OP. The term being bandied around is a problem, yes. However, the point of the thread is that violence is not an acceptable response to words or thoughts. The possibility that people who aren't Nazis being hurt instead of just Nazis is just an additional example of why this is a horrible idea.
