"Prohibiting rally won’t solve neo-Nazi problem”

As you all know, Iranian President Mahmoud Armor-dinner-jacket spoke at Columbia University earlier this week. Many of us were fuming at this blatant abuse of free-speech in order to allow a Holocaust denier, and someone advocating war on the Americans, a platform to talk. It would have been like inviting Hitler to speak at Madison Square Garden in the 1930s.

But after he spoke, he revealed to all listenting that he's a complete and utter nutball. By stifling his speech, he would have gained points by actually NOT being heard. Now, he's being ridiculed for what HE said.

Point here is to allow these so-called Nazis to have their little feel-good bake sale. It will bring them out into the open, and hopefully show what idiots they really are. The Serbian people can thus judge appropriately their actions and their beliefs. If Serbian historical memory is based on the idea tha they have always resisted fascism and National Socialism, then in the spirit of Draza Mihailovic, Serbs would easily reject such tomfoolery now.

I fullheartly agree with you Mike but I would like to add that the leader of this group is a convicted convict who served time not only for assaulting a professor but for other felonies. Considering this I would side with prohibition. If we allow one convicted felon does that mean that we will allow other criminals to have public gatherings? It is a tough call.
