Despite disagreeing vehemently with those policies and the member of my family that died at the hands of Nazi's, I would fight for the Nazi party's right to free-speech. But, mind you, threatening violence is against the law... and should be. They can say what they like, as long as they don't threaten anyone.

Addition: I wasnīt correct - there were two cases in Germany - the second party declared illegal (in 1952) was a Neonazi party called SRP, which was a direct NSDAP-clone

AFAIK having an illegal party is (in Germany) more related to your first paragraph - eg. you canīt get public jobs as a member of such a party, the party cannot do anything in public (canīt participate in elections, canīt make demos etc.). It doesnīt mean that all the members end up in jail as political prisoners. The main purpose to declare a party illegal is to make sure that this party canīt participate in the political process anymore, it is not the goal to criminalize every individual member.
that would go against our garaunteed right to the freedom of speech. it simply cannot be done with our constitution.

They even just failed to declare the NPD illegal, which shows how difficult it is, if we want to remain based on law and constitution.

Space05us: Hm, even when they act as a kind of army against the state, but within the state? I mean - would it be possible for Al Quaeda to from a political organization in the US? Think of it like the Irish IRA - which followed (follows?) political and terrorist directions at the same time?

Well, if the constitution says, that all people are equal, and there is a party, that says, that all Jews and Blacks are scum and need to be exterminated, this party is obviously not based on the same constitution and deserves to be outlawed, or at least to be restricted in the democratic process.

If thier organization as a whole was involved in criminal activity they would no longer be taken seriously as a political party and they would come under investigation by the proper authorities. Im not old enough to be familiar with the Black Pride (Panther) movement, but Im pretty sure they are an example of this

Hopefully, although there was a precedence in history, where such a party actually got elected. It ended in a disaster and dozen million deads. This has to be prevented from happening again by all means, even if they sound undemocratic.

I posted some info on the Black Panther Party here

I skimmed it, something similar to this would happen. Though it would be different for obvious reasons

Even if one were to believe such a despicable idea that homosexuality is a disease, which it isn't, your logic still doesn't make sense, not surprisingly. Should one hate people infected with the "disease" or the "disease"? I hate SARS, but not the people infected.

But this is moot because homosexuality is not a disease. Hatred and bigotry are, however.

I didn't mean to infer that homosexuality is a disease like malaria. But you can dislike the problem as it can render some great people incapable of having children.

Gay people are perfectly capable of conceiving children... not with each other, but the equipment still works. Seriously, why do you care if Johnny likes boys instead of girls? Considering gay men take more care in their appearance, I think it just means more girls for the rest of us hetero's. Less competition for women = good

Here's a link to the article in my local paper. The guy died recently and the FBI revealed their investigation.

Such a waste of tax payer dollars. I just hate the FBI for so many reasons.

and nah... considering that when there's a KKK rally, there's three people in hoods and hundreds of protestors... there's no need to have them be illegal... if anything, their cause is harmed by it being legal as they are ridiculed so much...

Yes, obviously...

If the constitution said that congress may pass no law countermanding equality (by the way, it's the declaration, not the constitution that says "all men are created equal), that still would in no way mean that all people are forced to believe in equality.

Our government guarantees freedom of speech, except in circumstances where it incites immediate violence. That's part of our constitution and one of our basic rights as human beings.
