Didn't the ALCU defend Nazis in the past?

  And satanists. And homophobic churches. They used to know no point on the political compass and would defend all liberties.

    Except anything second amendment (and a few others).

  The nazis, or free speech and freedom of assmbly?

    A Nazi's right to free speech and assembly, yes.

      Nazis are people, and being a nazi is not a crime. Until they commit some sort of crime they should be afforded all the same basic human rights and freedoms as everyone else. That's just basic common sense.
