My first thought when I see this kind of thing is "Yeah, fuck nazis" but then I remember that you almost certainly mean something much broader when you say "nazi" than the colloquial version of that word. Nazism is a specific brand of totalitarianism that, having been vilified (and rightly so), is now used as a bogeyman (which is disastrous). "Freedom of speech" is essentially the opposite of nazism, and gets painted with that brush over and over.
