If you are not for the free speech of people you disagree with, then you are simply just not for free speech.
Nazis and the KKK, while they might not quite make calls to violence, know how to word-smith the hatred and grow it, like a verbal "I'm not touching you" kind of thing. They'll make ambiguous statements like claiming they need to deal with the $SLUR problem in the neighborhood.
A very short-sighted point of view. What happens of down the road someone decides what you think, believe, or say, is wrong?
I'd quote Niemöller but I fear it would fall on deaf ears, (or blind eyes, I guess).
I'll start worrying someone will stop protecting my right to speech when I call for the deaths of all people fitting some category.
It's that simple.
ie- This isn't about their beliefs, it's about the right to free speech. If no one stands up now, who will be left to stand for you when your time comes.
edit- I once had to take a friend of mine to her abortion appointment. The vitriol screamed at us both (they assumed incorrectly I was the father), was mind-blowing. They brought her to tears, were screaming in her face. It got ugly until I screamed right back. The fury I felt that day was incomprehensible to most people. Literally saw red. Had to comfort my friend afterwards. To me it was evil, spiteful, hateful shit to spew at someone at their lowest and most vulnerable.
They still had the right to spew that garbage.
The times it's hard to swallow can sometimes be the most important.
The sad thing is that only 22 years ago, the ACLU had their priorities straight: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-statement-defending...
On other occasions she clearly spoke against democracy or freedoms for people having other ideologies than herself.
I personally had to learn not to use this quote anymore after discovering the background years ago in a documentary.
But even a broken clock is right twice a day...
Can you provide examples of baseline 2010 liberal that's now considered right wing?
