Your whole argument is based on the slippery slope. If it's a fallacy then so is your comparison of the Democrats and nazis or disallowing nazi propaganda leading to loosing the right of free speech.

If you think I was COMPARING Democrats with Nazies, you didn't read my post. I made a parallell example, for a completely unrelated group, in order to show how silly the reasoning was, blaming people today for whatever anyone did in the past, no matter how much or how little they prescribed to the same ideas.

Anyway, the slippery slope fallacy is this: "If we allow A, then B will follow". For example, many fundamentalist Christians say that if we allow homosexuality, then animal sex and paedophilia is next.

It is not a slippery slope fallacy, however, to point out that the law must be equal for all. If we make special provisions for certain groups, which groups are singled out and by what justification?

Groups which have shown by their actions what they are capabile of and those who continue to espouse similar "final solutions". By your reasoning enemy soldiers (which are exactly what neo nazi groups are) who have not yet killed should be immune from attack. Well sorry the world just does not operate that way and thank God for it. The enemy is the enemy. Pretending they are not is the only real fallacy here.

Oh and my solution for the nazis is completely fair and equal. Every one of them should be eliminated. There is no such thing as a good nazi.
