87. Wrong, wrong, wrong
Their tax dollars pay for the police to protect them.

They're Americans, just like us. The fact that their speech is unpopular means they are deserving of careful protection.

You are isolating them when you would deny them the basic rights of all Americans and make noise about posting a bond in order to march or deny them police protection.

You need to re-acquaint yourself with what the Bill Of Rights says, and keep in mind that you and I could be the targets of attempted oppression - such as you're proposing here - of the Republicans who would want to stop us from marching in favor of, say, freedom of choice or bringing our troops home.

If you want your speech to remain free, you'd better demand that the Nazis' enjoy that same right.
