And they are exactly right. As citizens of the country, voters, and human beings, civil liberties extend even to Nazis and the KKK.

Correct. They do have rights as American citizens. We may not like what they do with those rights, but they still have them.

When it served their purpose the ACLU defended the American Socialist Party's (Nazi) right to demonstrate. In 1977 the ACLU assisted the Nazi's in getting a US Supreme Court ruling giving them the right to march through Skokie IL. At that time Skokie was home to a large number of Holocaust survivors. In all fairness, after the US Supreme Court upheld their right to march the American Socialist Party decided to stage a rally at the Federal Plaza in Chicago.

“Our free speech rights rise and fall together – whether left, right, pro-choice, anti-choice, vegan, carnivore, or none of the above,” the ACLU wrote.
“Here at the ACLU, we vehemently disagree with Mr. Yiannopoulos’ views. We work hard, every day, with the very communities he targets, to fight for equal rights and dignity for all,” wrote ACLU director James Esseks in a letter explaining the decision. “We recognize that his words cause grievous pain to many individuals, their families, and their loved ones. Speech like his hurts.”
“Yet even though we know how wrong-headed Mr. Yiannopoulos’ speech is, the ACLU today filed a lawsuit to defend his free speech rights,” he continued.
