Charlottesville, VA

Day 2 of the violence and 1 person dead. Still waiting for Trump to call out the white supremacists, neo-Nazis and clan members who are violently marching in his honor. This is an act of terrorism.

The blame for violence goes to protestors and counter protestors. But most will only point at one side or the other so the cycle will go on.

Yeah Nazis and anti-Nazis are the same. The guy who rammed into the crowd was probably justified because of the traffic these people had caused.

I like the way you try to frame the opposite of Nazis as Anti Nazis when they are something far nastier in their own right. 

The Nazis started this riot. Others came in protest of them.

I disagree that the anti-Nazi protestors are "far nastier" than the Nazis/white nationalists. They are doing more to fight anti-Semitism today than you or me.

A helicopter has gone down in flames near Charlottsville, so probably more dead all thanks to Nazis. 

A country run by Antifa would be equally nasty as one run by fascists.

They were at the protest and wouldn't have been there otherwise. Why are you defending Nazis and anti-political correctness?  

All speech should be defended. Which is why Antifa is so dangerous.

I wouldn't say he's defending Nazis. He's taking Trump's neutered neutral stance.

First, on what basis do you believe the anti-Nazi protestors were "Antifa".

Second, "Antifa" has never controlled a large powerful nation or any nation to my knowledge.

Third, how can anyone possibly be "nastier" to the Jewish people than the Third Reich?

....accent on the neutered. And it was a police helicopter.

You are very anti-free speech when it comes to protests from the left.

Stalin probably killed more people than Hitler. Pol Pot came very close. Mao killed a lot too. 

Antifa was at the counter demonstration and is always  looking to create choas. 

Anyway, if Trump doesn't make a stronger statement, and give this event some truth and respect, and call these people white nationalists, he will lose more credibility. He will reinforce the view of him as indecent.

Yes try to ignore the truth about the left.

What's "the truth about the left?"

Neo-Nazis, KKK Groups and White Supremists are far greater in number, better organized and more of a threat than followers  of Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao.

And keep adopting the Holocaust denial language. Looks cute on you.

I think he's referring to all of the Stalinist rallies we held during Obama's two terms.

And you keep ignoring the horrors the left has brought.

Such as....?

Please define what you mean by "the left" and identify the "horrors the left has brought."   

If you want people to take you seriously then you need to communicate clearly.

I just wonder if the counter-protestors, and the young lady who was killed, had any idea how dangerous going to Charlottesville today to try to face down the Nazis actually was. I honor her, and all the counter-protestors, for having the guts to stand up to the Nazis.

In the 20th century the number of people who died at the hands of government of the left is far higher than the already enormous number who died at the hands of governments of the right.
