Sorry for the late answer. My point is that the problem is upstream to the issue of quoting/non quoting. A person who gets convinced by a nazi/antisemitic slogan is already a problem on itself. The quote is one of the N ways that person can be exposed to ideas that underneath they already support, and I don't think this is a good reason to change the way that we talk about some issues. In other words, even if someone "gets recruited" by the quote, this is merely surfacing the problem, it's not creating it.
