#2The title of the post is "In Support of Free Speech." I thought that kind of editorializing was generally frowned upon here?

#3Good. I've never read a Breitbart article, but there are few things they could say that I would find more distasteful than censorship.
Interesting editorializing of the headline on this post.

#4I support their views on free speech, but as a matter of conscience, principle, and (more cynically) optics, they should donate all proceeds they make off of Breitbart or neo-nazi orders to civil liberties/rights organisations like the ACLU (which they mention in their post).

Should Apple donate the profits of every Macbook sold to neo-Nazis? How do you identify them?
Don't censor people and play into their victim complex. Treat them the exact same way you would anyone else and if you can't convince them through argument that they are wrong then you have nothing to stand on.
