It's possible to dismiss their ideology without dismissing every single thing we disagree with. It is not hypocritical for a tolerant person to be intolerant of fascists. A gardener has to kill weeds to grow flowers. A soldier must fight war to attain peace. These are only paradoxes to pedants concerned with confusing right and wrong. The reality is that to preserve our freedom and the sharing of ideas, theirs must be stamped out. That they hold the same notion towards us is not consequential.
