"If you want to be a Nazi, I’ll defend to the death your right to do so; but you should know that I’m also going to use those same free speech rights we both enjoy to call out your ignorance, challenge your backward belief systems and work to eradicate your brand of hatred from the planet until the day I die."

That's not how defending someone's right works. You are not defending someone when you go after them and try to shut them down. The mental gymcommienastics it takes to think these two ideas go together makes this Matt Tunseth a moron and totalitarian.

Defending someone's rights means that even if you disagree with them you allow them to do it. Like if you burn a flag that I like I will allow it to happen and defend your right to do it even though I disagree. What this fuck is saying is that he disagrees and will work overtime trying to stop you from doing it but at the same time pretend that he's "defending your rights to do it" which is total bullshit.

It's the complete opposite of what he is saying. He isn't defending. He is trying to stop this person from having these rights.
