Frankly, I imagine some conservatives or populists are fine with it as well. I hate to defend someone caught on video raising his hand in at "Heil Hitler' salute, but it is what it is. I wouldn't punch him (unless he punched me first.)
See Popehat, "On Punching Nazis."
And at the New York Times, "Attack on Alt-Right Leader Has Internet Asking: Is It O.K. to Punch a Nazi?"
Spencer gets punched at the video.
THANK GOD WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PUBLICLY PUNCH RICHARD SPENCER IN THE FACE

FYI, if you know who the Nazi-punching hero is, keep your mouth shut. pic.twitter.com/PakYhOoqZn

Whether you agree or disagree with punching Spencer, let's try not to frame Nazism as merely a "different opinion." (1/3)

Libertarianism is a "different opinion." Nazism is an ideology of genocide; inimical to (and corrosive of) pluralist values. (2/3)

And it is not so obvious to me that "freedom of speech" requires treating Nazis as legitimate participants in public discourse. (3/3)
