A decade or so ago a neo-Nazi group decided to hold a parade through a community heavily populated by survivors of Nazi concentration camps. There was a huge uproar. Progressives, veterans, and most sensible Americans came down on the side of "No Nazi March!" The ACLU and some progressives came down on the side of Freedom to Assemble and Free Speech - give 'em a parade permit. In the end a compromise was reached ... they marched in Chicago, I believe, and everyone ignored them.
If you look on the Internet today, you can find lots of "White Power" racism and Anti-Semitic horror writing and preaching. Christianity backs up the hatred on these websites. Yet no mainstream church admits these jerks in their sanctuaries, prayers, dogma, General Sessions, writings, or websites. No city's newspaper grants them stories or will accept their ads. They are "shut up" in the USA.
