Seriously, I expected better from you, both as a person and as a journalist.

Your disappointment is noted. 

As a person and a journalist I believe Nazis have a right to opinions. This incident with CBS is one more blip on trying to normalize and give acceptance to white supremacy. If you expect me to support that trend, you don't know me very well. 

Personally, I don't like the "well, what about the innocent people" defense. That absolves people of having to think for themselves. If I call you a tomato and someone bites you, are we going to blame you or me over the label, and not the idiot that thought you were a fruit? Hold people accountable for their actions, Nazi and tomato-biter alike.
