Sorry why is it loony to condemn violent left wing groups.

The Unite The Right have a right to express themselves under the First Amendment. They were defended by the ACLU to have that right that they had a court issued permit to protest.

Why on earth should we defend violent left wing thugs who wanted to stop them protesting?

If someone doesn't like something that is fair enough but the law is the law. They were legally authorised.

Why do left wing thugs get to take the law into their own hands?

On what planet does condemning BOTH the white supremacists, Nazis etc. and the anti-fa demonstrators amount to enabling and empowering Nazis


Oh please, he said that there were some "very fine people" on the Nazi's side and up until today he had a White nationalist as his Chief Strategist. You support a Nazi enabler, deal with it.

I wonder if he now thinks he deserves a cookie for firing Bannon, despite the fact that he always knew what he was.

Remember how the uppity Jews gave their Nazi captors a hard time instead of just submitting and allowing themselves to be crushed? You need to hold both sides responsible! Same with those uppity Blacks who were targeted by the KKK; this would never have happened if they hadn't had the gall to ask for equal rights. There are always two sides, Nazis aren't always the bad guys!

Antifa are not left wing- now you either being dumb or you're on the left and simply do not want to resonate with them.

Apparently if you believe in limiting immigration your a Nazi, God forbid you say something good about Donald Trump-again you're a Nazi. They are even worse here In the UK, there is a video on YouTube where someone is holding a sign stating the right to freely discuss ideas should be defended-what a fascist that man was.Antifa may not represent the whole of the left wing but it does with a good proportion, washed up uneducated fools who blame rich white people for all there problems.

The lefts favourite term to describe anyone who is right wing on social issues is Nazi, the term is becoming overused, losing the influence it once had to control the narrative on the right the far left like antifa have used that word for many years against people who they do not agree with.

Moving on to actual Nazism, one thing antifa hate is if you call Nazi's socialists as per there name-even though no one probably agrees with the sentiment it is funny watching them go into overdrive. Antifa use nazi tactics to kill all opposition to there platform if you show you're a right winger ie wearing the MAGA top in America Antifa will beat you up. Despite them liking the nazi to throw at the right they follow some nazi principles

If you wave swatstikas, chant "the Jews will never replace us" and beat a young Black man to a pulp while shouting racial slurs, are you a Nazi? Yes or no?

The apologia for neo-Nazism and White supremacy no longer surprises me.

No you deal with it. There were some very ordinary protesters who are normal right wingers protesting at statue removal. It's a myth that all protesters were Neo-Nazis. Go and research it and look at the footage taken by real people and not only rely on the #fakenews.

I'm sorry but if I was marching with people who called for the removal of Jews, waved the symbol of one of the most vile ideologies to ever exist and called for racial segregation, I would feel too uncomfortable to stay. You are not a decent person if you are happy to march alongside those people, you are one of them.

If you protest against something and some Nazis attend the same protest it doesn't make you a Nazi.

I'd do you felt that it was a demo that was a rare occasion and took a lot of organising you might prefer to use the movement rather than withdraw simply because the most extremist people are attending.

There was a black who was beaten, but there are pictures of him circulating on the internet in which he is seen to be armed with two truncheons, obviously ready to attack the Neo-Nazis.

The guy then played the victim and has been handed $150 000 by strangers on GoFundMe.

Maybe it isn't the same black guy though.
