I must be getting more libertarian in my old age, but I wouldn't deny anyone's right to peacefully assemble provided they aren't advocating violence or government overthrow. The First Amendment is there for a reason whether we like the speaker or not.

My sentiments exactly. Further, anyone who thinks that leftists will be appeased once they establish their "right" to silence Nazis is a fool. You might as well try to appease the jihadis by tossing Israel overboard. It won't work.

I'm with you, mgstarr.

If you want to quench this fire, just ignore them TOTALLY - no crowds, no opposing demonstration and, above all, no press!

Denying these hate-filled individuals attention is to deny the fuel that fans the flame.

Of course, it would take monumental cooperation to achieve it which is unlikely considering the morbid curiousity of many people and, particularly, those in the press.
