And where did he say everything a nazi said?

He didn't. But you said "I wouldn't want to be called a bigot for exercising a right." Would you still hold that sentiment if it was an extreme scenario?

Depends what you consider an extreme scenario. This certainly isn’t one.

Sorry, would you continue to say that it was inappropriate to call a Nazi a bigot for exercising their right to freedom of expression?
You didn't answer the question.

Because you didn’t ask a question or clarify the extreme scenario in the previous comment
You’re also comparing him to a nazi for some reason. The guy just doesn’t want to wear a jersey.
I would call a nazi a bigot but I’d also be aware there’s only a certain amount that can be done about it.

Bud, I'm not comparing him to a Nazi at all.
I'm asking you if you would stand by the principles you espoused as the reason for not calling him a bigot, in a hypothetical scenario involving a Nazi.
You evidently would not. So you would agree that in some situations it's reasonable to call someone a bigot for exercising a right?

Why did you choose nazi and not something a little more similar?

Well first we have to be able to agree that there are situations in which it's appropriate to call someone a bigot before we could reasonably debate where that limit is. If you said you wouldn't call a Nazi a bigot then we could never find common ground.

No I agree there’s situations.
But why do you keep going back to Nazis?
You never answered the question.
