[quote=Anonymous]There is an enormous difference between being tolerant and open minded vs hate speech.

I consider myself a very tolerant and open minded person.  I have good friends who are tea-party members, Trump voters and very, very pro life single issuer voter.  I have friends who hate kids and one friend who has 9.  I have friends who are Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, atheist and one who has decided she's a Wiccan.  I have two transgendered friends, before it was in the news everywhere.  I have friends who believe it is a sin to be gay and left our church over sanctioning gay marriage. I have a friend who believes in the Kirk Cameron views on marriage.  I even have friends who like Duke University.

BUT as for people who say blacks and whites should not mix, that people of non-western European descent should pack up and leave the US, people who say we need an ethnic cleansing (which to me = genocide in some form), who say Heil Trump and do a Nazi salute, well no, I don't have to tolerate them.  I don't have to invite them into my home or socialize with them. I don't have to listen to them preach hate speech. I can walk away. I can choose to not frequent their business.I can voice my objection to their disgusting views.

If I ever came face to face with Spencer, which I could because I live in Del Ray, I probably would just say something like may god have mercy on your soul.  Because he ain't getting it from me. And someone who makes it their life mission to circulate these types of hateful views is disturbed.[/quote]
