Due to a discussion on Bookface,

which I really should start ignoring, I am informed
Bad people(generally lumped under National Socialists) should not be allowed to speak or demonstrate publicly.  Because some people are scared or threatened by it, and allowing that damages tolerance.

If you actually think the 1st Amendment includes people you don't like and ideas you don't agree with, you're a coward/scum lord(is that the new shitlord?)/fool who enables National Socialists with your idiot free speech ideas.

Etc.

Every time someone starts that "THOSE people should not be allowed in public!" and/or "THEIR speech should not be allowed!", I'm reminded of this


I've posted it in response a couple of times, but it's useless; they all think that the restrictions they want would never be turned around and used against them.

Enough to make you despair at times, it really is.

Thank you for this.
Some months back I was searching for this very clip and couldn't for the life of me remember from whence it came.

I knew of the quotation, but had no idea the scene had made it to the Internet as well. Thank you.
