Still NOT the ticket: Jon Lovitz snarks at Twitchy over the First Amendment (we weren't even mean!)

Earlier this week, Twitchy covered Jon Lovitz tweeting about the need to make Nazis illegal. And as most Twitchy readers would expect, this was not a position that we could or would support, so we called him out for his argument.

Apparently he wasn’t thrilled with us:

So now, according to Twitchy, because I want Nazis to be illegal, I'm as bad as Nazis.

They should change Twitchy's name to Twisted.

We didn’t really say he was as bad as Nazis, we just pointed out that the behavior of silencing people you disagree with is fascist.

Ever hear of the first amendment? It protects everybody including Nazis, Communists, and other reprobates including Hollywood

And we even mentioned that it pained us to write something not-so-flattering about him but *sigh*, what can ya’ do?

Who's Twitchy? Never mind, Jon, most of us are behind you, there should be no equation line between Nazis & anti-Nazis. Never

This didn’t go so well.

Many decent people are being called "Nazi" today because they are not sufficiently leftist. Who would get to define what an illegal nazi is?
