[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous]I read the story about this in the WaPo.  I agree that the professor should have been kicked out, too -- you shouldn't yell at patrons.  That said, a private gym has the right to exclude Nazis if they want to.[/quote]
The gym certainly has the right to do it. I just don't understand why they did it.  Before long, Right-wingers will have to establish private gyms exclusively for Right-wingers.[/quote]

OP, right-wingers are welcome at any gym.  Richard Spencer is not "a right-winger".

I think the gym could have taken a courageous stand and kept him on.  However, their business model is increasing the number of satisfied gym-goers, not reducing it.  So they kicked out the problematic gym-goer.  [/quote]
Right. I agree it's the right move from a business prospective. Where do you draw the line though? Let's say Pat Buchanan worked out at a gym, and was confronted by someone. Do you think he should be booted out? How do you decide who's welcome and who's not?[/quote]

Someone that calls for ethnic cleansing. Out.

It's not difficult. Really. [/quote]
When Spencer says "ethnic cleansing", he's not talking about killing minorities. He's talking about moving them to an area away from whites.(he's a "white separatist")  I totally disagree with him on this, but just trying to clarify his position. [/quote]

Ok, so what happens to the minorities who refuse to comply? Are they moved with force? And if they resist the force, what happens? Does the force escalate?  Once you start using the power of the state to compel people to do things against their will you're ultimately saying you're willing to kill them. You're making a distinction without a difference to say he's not talking about killing. [/quote]

Likely not if he reads alt right crap

In Spencer’s eyes, the “de-Judification” of the Holocaust is a quintessentially “Trumpian” statement. Spencer championed Trump through the presidential campaign — and though he has been critical of the president at times, seems to have come around to Trump.

“Trump is a white nationalist, so to speak, he is alt-right whether he likes it or not,” Spencer in a recent interview on “The David Pakman Show.”[/quote]
