Quote:You are also ignoring the fact that the NPD aggressively opposes Israel's right to exist, & would have a second shoah if given half-a-chance.Completely irrelevant to the point, which was that you saw opposition to a ban as support for the party itself, and ignored possible other reasons.
I'm not sure if you claim to support the ideas of democracy, but if you do, then you would be a hypocrite for supporting the banning of a political party whose views you disagree with and find abhorrent.
In the UK we have a fascist party called the BNP (British National Party). I loathe them with every fiber of my being, but I wouldn't dare even suggest that their party be banned in a democracy.
