All you're doing is giving them more publicity and that's what they want. Only you're serving them up their victims against their will when you let them have their pick of their forums under the guise of free speech! That's why Bernie's argument is especially egregious. This idea of giving them legitimacy as if they really want to just debate, and then setting them loose on college campuses? Yes, they're places of education and exchanges of ideas. That's NOT what hate speech mongers do! Just because it's words coming out of their mouths. It's nothing better than saying stalkers should have access to their victims because they just wanna talk! That's all! Come on, you're repressing their rights!
