Even ghandi said that nonviolence only works to a point- and some things should be fought with every drop of blood we have..........
Certain things should be aberant and abhored by any society- Note that I welcome anyone having their own beliefs- as long as their beliefs do not include harming someone else based on arbitrary traits or because of purely selfish motives- In a nutshell, and for example, it is wrong to hate someone for their skin color, or religion, or sexual preference, or political party and a whole lot of other things- UNTILL they choose to advocate hurting others as part of their doctrin - For example, hating muslims is wrong, but hating muslims that use their religion as an excuse to blow up a synagog is OK- Hating n.a.m.b.l.a. members seems OK, because they advocate child rape.... and the nazi party advocates murder........so I tend to feel justified hating them..... If the nazi's wanted to hold their rallies on private land, OK fine with me- but when they go to other towns (and ALL of the marchers were from out of state) and attempt to instigate violence and property destruction because our town is too "liberal" for their taste, then i expect that they deserve what they got, and much more.
I agree that we should be wary of a slippery slope, and where I draw the line on white supremecists is essentially at the point that they go from being in favor of their heritage, and of supporting their own culture, to the point of advocating the violent extermination of anyone not white- which this group does. The question of who's opinions are valid has always been with us, and I guess that where I personally feel the line should be is if you advocate killing me and my friends, then it means that I will tend to respond in kind (and according to the NSM website, as I have american indian blood, and my wife has ancestors waaay back there that were jewish, we are both slated for "forceble deportation" or death if we refuse )
