Would you defend letting an ISIS parade of Jeeps with 50mm machine guns mounted in the back roll down Main Street? If they were "peaceful"?

Note: Both 50mm machine guns and providing material support to ISIS are illegal.

but providing material support to Nazis is not?!?

Oddly, federal law does seem to distinguish between foreign & domestic terrorist orgs on "material support": https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R41333.pdf …

So if we're talking domestic neo-Nazis & foreign ISIS fighters, then it would seem there's a key difference in the "material support" laws.

But it was the ACLU that got the tiki-torch scumbags their permit for Charlottesville. Minorities are (rightfully) freaked out by Klan-thugs

I grew up protesting Duke at LSU in '90-'91. Im happy to let these dirtbags freely clown themselves publicly. They die in the light.

So perplexing that this attack on fundamental liberty is so pervasive on the left. They have truly lost their moral way on so many issues.
-
It appears to be perplexing because anti-free speech attitudes are not truly pervasive on the left, & are instead held by vocal minority.

When I see the majority of the liberal MSM actually start criticizing Antifa instead of lionizing them, you'll have a point.

Agree for the most part. However, armed gatherings are a unique category, as this analysis makes very clear:http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/08/the_first_and_second_amendments_clashed_in_charlottesville_the_guns_won.html …

It's pretty sad that this has to be explained to college students.

An exception can be made for hate speech defined in relation to constitutional imperatives. It's what we try to do in SA
. -
No it can't. The US Supreme Court has 100 years of rulings on this topic. "Hate Speech" has no legal meaning. It never will.

There's a difference between free speech and being entitled to the use of public resources as a platform.
-
Um, that IS free speech. Public spaces belong to all, and the state has to be viewpoint-neutral in coordinating and protecting their use.

So anyone should have the right to be paid to speak at a university? Am I entitled to an auditorium to give a lecture on whatever I want?
-
If it's a public university, and a student group invites you and funds you, yes, you do.
-
Even a racist or pseudo intellectual group (flat earthers/creationists).
-
How else do you think religious groups bring speakers to campus?
-
Colleges have theology programs. They don't have flat earth programs.
