Nah, they've been warping it that way since Obama at least, if not earlier. It's just only now they've had a rogue executive branch to back them up.

warp freedom of expression right back around to include freedom of hate

Reactionaries have been playing this game since I was in grade school. The Young Conservatives of Texas, notably on the UT college campus, had all sorts of immigrant hate events they'd run every year or two. And when someone would inevitably object or try to intervene, they engaged in a collective scream of martyrdom over their First Amendment Liberties.

None of this seemed to apply to the LGBTQ organizations, the anti-war demonstrators, Muslims, or the union organizers for staff and faculty, of course. You have the right to be a Nazi and nothing else.

“Tolerance of intolerance is intolerance” applies here

I've always preferred the Inglorious Bastards approach to fascists.

You're invited to make your views known. And the rest of us are entitled to brand you with them.

It's been that way for decades. The ACLU defended the Nazis in 1977 when they wanted to march in Skokie, Illinois. It was a big drawn out test of 1st amendment rights and while the person actually defending them hated them, he felt silencing their speech was tantamount to silencing all speech. It's why there is the scene in the Blue Brothers where Jake says "I hate illinois nazis"

I'm torn on this, because in a way it really is a 1st amendment issue. Does a university that gets public funds and is accredited by the state get to police the political affiliations and speech of it's students? At the college I went to in CA, we routinely had religious fanatics on campus telling us about sin and how people were going to hell, but they had a 1st amendment right to be there. We heckled them and yelled and did sin right in their faces anyways, because fuck them. Schools often have standards similar to public institutions with how they handle free speech, especially state schools.

Personally, I want to see every one in this group beaten to a pulp for their beliefs. And then beaten again. I want to see who they are and ostracize them and make them feel like shit over it.

I feel that it is more up to us to deal with it, than it is for a state institution or a school that is an extension of the state.

Of course it's Republicans.

If they were called the College Nazis then everyone reading this would assume they were some weird, fringe, extremist group with no popular support whatsoever.

But they're not. They're called the College Republicans of America, and the whole reason this is newsworthy is because of the clear link it draws between Nazism and the Republican party.

I'm all for calling them Nazi scum, but let it be known that these Nazi scum claim to be directly aligned with Donald Trump and the Republican platform.

I think this is the "we're going to give you something you can't take off" scene because they were forced to take him prisoner.

The only good Nazi...

It won't matter. The places they would go to work in the future, their families, their friends--none of them care.

This is the finding of out. Throw the book at them now. Expel the hate speaker and anyone who endorsed the photo on social media.

That's what Ivy League is for.

I think you and I got wildly different versions of justice. Cause I was thinking severe corporal punishment then expulsion.

As far as I know, they aren't being expelled, their dumb little club is just being abolished.

Now roast DJT and JDV

This actually is a state school.

It's part of the state university system of Florida.

ACLU affiliate NYCLU (New York Civil Liberties Union) sued the private ivy league Columbia University over the "suspension of pro-Palestinian groups" so the ACLU of Florida could choose to help these neo-nazis; since the ACLU has in the past helped neo-nazis, Republicans, the KKK, and other horrible groups.

Okay devils advocate.

This comes down to freedom of speech. And right then and there they should be allowed to do it.

So while I do personally agree that they have the right to do that. I also believe that freedom of speech does not equal freedom of consequences.

It is okay that the tolerant do not tolerate the intolerant.

Now if this is a private university, I did not read the article for I am not in the mood at this time of night, then they do/should have the right to dictate what is appropriate for their campus. While if it is public free speech is free speech.
