this is absurd: did you oppose the tearing down of statues of Lenin and Stalin in E. Europe and Russia?
Good point from a friend in email. This tearing down statues is a cultural revolution of sorts & a small step from statues to actual people

Or Hussein in Iraq?

The societal consequences & cost of human life for what happened in communist Russia and Iraq shouldn't be considered good comparisons here.

This is patently absurd. Was Regan's directive to "tear down this wall" akin to advocating violence against East Germans?

Tearing down racist symbols and monuments is NOT the same thing as advocating violence against people. There's a chasm between these actions
