It's sort of hypocritical to defend the Nazis when they were the reason that we went and attacked over in Europe for WWII. They killed millions of people.
That was Nazi Germany. We are talking about Neo-Nazis, also known as the American Nazi Party or the National Socialist Party of America (there are some other groups as well). Their ideas are somewhat similar to those of the German Nazis, but the American Nazi Party is not the same group, and they did not kill millions of people by genocide.

And why is it that when a group of black men get together spreading hate, they're called "gangs"? The Neo-Nazis promote the same thing, albiet the opposite side. They're just as much a gang as the Bloods and Crips...
If the group of black men spreading hate was a political party, then it wouldn't be called a gang. Neo-Nazis express hate, but they are members of organised political parties, not gangs. The government steps in when members of a party commit crimes, just like the government does with gangs.

No, it's not right that the Neo-Nazis are protected by the police on their marches, but that sort of thing is an unavoidable side effect to preserving some very important freedoms. I'd rather have police attending every march instead of police attending only the marches that they agree with.
I agree with every single word in ghotistix's post.
