ORIGINAL: VioletGray Don't get me wrong, David Duke certainly deserves a hot-sauce enema, and Germany's ban of such things is nothing if not understandable, but I get uncomfortable when people start banning ideas, because if the winds change and the wrong person gets into power, MY ideas might get me in trouble. There is a difference between the right to express your ideas and hate speech, a lot of people died because a short Austrian bloke with a funny mustache and haircut expressed the same ideas, the country does everything to not let that happen again, those laws are not new or due to a wind change in politics, those laws have been put in place after 1945, it's not a fairly recent thing DD wasn't aware of, like a new speed limit... Additionally if they wouldn't have deported him, can you imagine the international outcry? It would be along the lines of "Oh they are Nazis again, they are bending their laws for him." Add to that that recently a Neo Nazi terror cell who committed several hate crimes and murders was finally caught... http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,797948,00.html It really isn't about his right to believe whatever he wants to believe, they don't really do mind control, it was about him sprouting illegal Nazi propaganda and trying to ignite hate. I have the freedom to dance around in my own house and chant "fire", I'm not allowed to go into an overcrowded cinema and yell FIRE where it would cause a panic and people might get hurt... Anybody ever looked at the Visa waiver form the US makes you fill out before entering the country? You're not allowed to enter if you have a physical or mental disorder, you're an addict of any sort, have a communicable disease, or have ever been arrested (you don't even need to be convicted for it) for an offense of crime involving moral turpitude or a violation related to a controlled substance. Technically if you happened to be in a pub or club where a drug bust happened and you were taken into custody just because you were there and they hold you for a while and you are released later without charges, that would be enough. Additionally the US reserves the right to deny you entrance without reason and you waive all rights to review, appeal or contest any action of deportation... They don't have to give you a reason, DD got a reason... What is he complaining about?
