>there are not small groups of people running around with Hakenkreuz flags and SS uniforms in the US

How 'not small', particularly in relation to a nation of over 300 million people?

>Please do not tell me you find this acceptable in any way.

I do not find such content acceptable in any way. But freedom of assembly and speech is baked into the United States' DNA, and rightfully so. Take a look at the Skokie case[0] - offensive stuff, but the ACLU stuck up for them anyways, and it ended up setting a legal precedent in the Supreme Court.
