I'd like to think that Kate Bush and her fans support free speech and
understand that it is important to defend the rights of those you disagree
with, particularily if you abhor their message. Free speech is meaningless
if it doesn't mean freedom to express the most rephrensible of messages.
You don't need free speech if all you're doing is expressing popular
opinions.

While that doesn't mean you should vote for the group, that does mean that
it is anti-free speech to vote against it in an effort to silence the
speech.

Besides, there's already an alt.music.white-power and any other number of
newsgroups I find offensive. Let the cockroaches run in the daylight where
we can shine the light of day on their idiocy.
