    Anyone watching? Pretty weird. The co-organizer just asked George Soros and Elon Musk to send him money, because they haven't already, apparently.

    Lots of chanting.
     
  2. Not watching it but let me assess this from afar:

    This is a rally against hatred and white supremacy and all of that, and they are asking for donations from George Soros - who actually did have an association with Nazis- and who said it was the happiest time in his life.

    What's wrong with that picture class?
     
  3. As pointed out in another thread, first amendment has no requirement clause that those ranting and raving be given the time of day, let alone serious consideration. They have the right to piss and moan, the rest of the nation has the right to ignore them.

  4. Seems like unite the white are chicken. 20 turn up.


    "White nationalists have staged a rally near the White House in Washington, but were far outnumbered by counter-protesters.

    About 20 far-right supporters attended the demonstration, which came a year after violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one person dead.

    Hundreds of chanting opponents staged their own rally nearby, denouncing white supremacy and racism.

    The two sides were kept apart by a heavy police presence.

    About 400 people had initially been expected at the "Unite the Right 2" rally but on the day nowhere near that number took part.

    The white nationalists were escorted by police officers to Lafayette Square, in front of the White House, and were heckled along the route by a larger group of counter-protesters chanting "shame" and "get out of my city"."

    Chickens or a virtually non existent bogeyman? This vast group of white nationalists is bunch of exaggerated crap. White nationalists are a very small group. Calling out racism all the time is propaganda.

    Everyday we have foreign lefty posters here trying to paint the picture that whites are racists. You are a smart guy. You don't see that possibility that the democrat divide the races policy is actually causing white people to say enough is enough.

    Its not racism to wish to say screw you democrats, we have our faults but we also helped build a great country which led the way on so many issues. I note it was Republicans who led the way on womens voting rights and civil rights legislation.

    Don't be a drone. I know you don't live in the States but you say you know us and visit here. Go out to the suburbs and tell me if you think the vast majority of white people really give a shit about race. There are far too many other things to care about.

  7. Exactly. What this demonstrates is the so called right wing extremists are very small in number and left wing extremists are a much larger group. Not all that surprising considering these left wing fascists are fully sponsored and endorsed by the DNC and their media minions.
     
  8. Sound logic...ahem.. have you considered coconut oil twice daily? I hear it does wonders.

  9. Hey look, there's a dozen hillbillies over there with a confederate flag. One has a microphone and is saying some shit about the "good old days". OMG, the threat is real, it's imminent. Put climate change on the back burner. These guys are a clear and present danger. And, and Trump condemns "all racism" All racism, WTF? Everyone knows only whites can be racist. This is madness. He must be stopped. Oh no, another eight hillbillies have joined in. Zoom in tight on camera three.
    Meanwhile, on the other side of the street several thousand fascists from the left are creating mayhem, screaming for violent acts, confronting police for just being there, and falling one small step short of a riot. Nothing to see here, just people singing songs and carrying signs, friendly folks speaking their mind. A give peace a chance crowd for sure.
    And the ones who ignore the angry mob are asking about logic. Might want to double up on the coconut oil yourself.;)
     
  10. This is not complicated.

    Firstly the right wing groups you are defending wear Nazi and Nazi style symbols. A lot of people are justifiably of the opinion that these guys are disrespectful to the point they should have their Nazi uniforms flogged off their backs, just for a start.

    You shit on the memories of WWII veterans and TENS OF MILLIONS of civilians while seeking special favor for yourself. Why? because they got the 'good war' and you got the bad?

    No fascists, no anti-fascists. Not complicated at all.
