had a op piece in a tabloid rag which bordered on hate speak against muslims... rather crossed the line in many people's opinions.

However, this had the consequence that the even more local division here in my home town lost their leaders, because the party has in the past tried to alienate themselves from the racism issue, and the people in this town had bought it. So the issue here is that if their opinions are more clearly visible in the media it is not a purely negative effect.

Also, it would totally be immoral to prevent someone from speaking just because they have immoral opinions.

Extremist parties like this thrive on martyrdom... don't give them the opportunity. Hit them with facts instead.
