What Really Happened In Charlottesville

  1. And when they do play, the rules are different for dems:

    The Missouri Legislative Black Caucus said in a statement that it “does not condone the derogatory remarks made by Sen. Chappelle-Nadal nor do we condone the recent comments made by President Trump.”

    “Although we hold both offices in very high respects, their inappropriate behavior and disturbing comments only act as catalyst for more violence and racial division in our country.”


    You see, to me that sounds very much like BLAMING BOTH SIDES- something that Trump is not allowed to do. Not sure exactly who Trump said should be assassinated such that he is as responsible for that type of comment as she is but whatever.

    Obviously you are generalizing as well as being over simplistic as personally I've done none of those things and you have no clue which if any political side I support. Fair's fair though you can be sure it isn't the extreme alt-right you appear to favor.

    But what I have done as have others, is point out why you cannot get the moral equivalence for white supremacist racist Nazi thugs you seem to desire so much no matter how much Whataboutism and side stepping you do following President Trumputin's lead.

    Put something in their head then send them out like a robot.

  4. A once revered liberal principle was that they might disagree vehemently with what you said, but they would defend your right to say it.

    Somehow that has become "wear a MAGA hat in public and risk a mob attack." And liberals seem perfectly ok with that.

    That's not "whataboutism." It's pointing out that progressives have abandoned their own principles and now seem to champion the lynch mob, whether it is doxxing someone or harassing them or just beating them up.

    Thoughtful onlookers cannot help but draw parallels to other Marxist utopia and how they came to power. Generally, it did not involve a ballot box or if it did, it was a one-time use only thing. We can see that while the democrat party and their media allies like having shock troops, they way underestimate their ability to control you.

    "Racist" is just the left wing version of "infidel."

    This is what not only leftists are saying is good, but Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio as well.

    The Boston rally


    "

    About half to two thirds of the protestors were there by 11 A.M., organizing, milling about, shouting obscenities while touting their equally obscene signs. They were a mob seething with anger, ready to spring into action, while anxiously waiting for their leaders to come.

    Then they came.

    The cheers moved like a wave through the now enormous crowd to welcome the black-shirted, black-masked throngs moving like a bulldozer in rapid motion towards the center, looking like a cross between ninja warriors and SS storm troopers, sans the insignia.

    Antifa had arrived....


    The anti-Trump rally had begun. The charade was lifted. They all knew what they were there for -- to violently protest Nazis, Klansmen, Trump, Republicans... or Trump, Republicans, Nazis, Klansmen...


    The protest quickly descended into a vile, lewd hatefest, with Antifa spewing venom at anyone and everyone who even hinted that they were a Trump supporter, a Republican, or anyone else not sharing their radical ideology. The ranting grew to decibel-breaking levels."

    This is what the left is. Brownshirt nazis bent on intimidating through violence. And their leaders are not pretending otherwise. And republican leaders won't even denounce it.

    There you go again, more Whataboutism. Can you not help yourself?

    You cannot form any moral basis or give any kind of justification to white supremacist neo-Nazi racists, which is apparently what you are still trying to do. Everyone knows what they stand for, what their agenda is. They are only to be condemned period.

    Blaming liberals, lefties or progressives or arguing about free speech or whatever doesn't wash one bit. It only makes you look like an apologist who would defend or condone a universally rejected extreme type of hatred.

    Nice dodge Stu.
    Like we really don't know which side your on. I can't believe you posted that, btw.
    You miss the whole point of a dissenting view, no matter how hateful YOU say it is. Why does anyone's opinion/view need to meet your moral basis in order to be heard? You lump all of these alt-right groups as "hate" groups. Yet many are only advocating for what they see as slights to their rights. Using your logic, any group I oppose has no moral standing and therefore has no free speech rights. I'm opposed to abortion on demand...Planned Parenthood has no moral standing to disagree with me. I'm opposed to black "hate" groups like the New Black Panthers...they have no moral standing and must be silenced. It has nothing to do with how YOU perceive their message. They still have a right to free speech.

  10. This is why it is a waste of time to argue with liberal drones like stu. He and his crowd are relishing their new found muscle, like some wuss who got juiced on steroids and went back to his old beach to kick sand in the bullies faces.

    Their reaction is not surprising. There seems to be a human need for violence and subjugation of those who disagree. It's also not surprising that the most aggressive and violence -prone tend to be the angry women. Of course, they run crying the minute someone shoves them.

    The blame lies with the authorities who let these thugs take over their streets. Ultimately the blame lies with the Supreme Court of the Warren era, which foolishly interpreted the First Amendment to allow riots posing as demonstrations. Of course they were acting to advance "civil rights", so like stu, they thought anything was justified. Birds come home to roost.
