Did you hear any posters supporting them? I didnt.

ADDED: I have little doubt someone will mention Trump saying there were good people on both sides. There were, and he wasn't saying the fringe elements were good. That's such a weak argument being used out of context. The people on either side, demonstrating peacefully, were the good people. Trying to make it about the fringe on either side is disingenuous at best.

I do have to pick at the term "white nationalist" though. It's a term that has been so bastardized that it's impossible to determine the context in which it is being used anymore.

You want to apply it to actual racists? I get that. But, when it's being applied to anyone with a viewpoint to the right, there's a real problem. Unfortunately, I see it being used the later way far more often than the former. It's an intellectually lazy way to attack someone with an opposing opinion that you cant counter on your own. That needs to stop.

When you start to break in a mans front door.... This is why many states have the Castle Doctrine.

And Jews say down with the gentiles, in Israel and their texts (try getting equal social treatment in Brooklyn, for example). In fact, their eschatology requires the eventual removal of all gentiles from Israel. That's a fact, as any honest Orthodox Jew would inform you.

Can a "nation" survive as such that condones non-integration nationalist groups, or non-integration for some and forced integration for others?

You should be careful of your subject matter lest you get into a debate that you are out of your depth in.

duh! they claimed responsibility.

Quote:
Smash Racism D.C., which calls itself an "anti-fascist," or Antifa, group, claimed responsibility for the protest on social media. It has previously targeted Ted Cruz, Kirstjen Nielsen, and other right-wing figures.

Some of the signs were seized as evidence. The police report describes the incident as a "suspected hate crime" and says the motivation was "anti-political."

I'm very much left of center, and I don't approve. Angry mobs can easily get out of hand, resulting in people getting hurt. There are better ways to register dissent.

Tucker is on vacation. He called into the guest host last night to talk about it.

He was very clear this represents a tiny minority of people.

He believes one of the people at his door has been a guest on his show.

He had received numerous calls and text messages from folks at CNN and MSNBC.

He lives in a majority Democrat neighborhood and everyone is appalled.

He called for civility.

Then Hannity came on and all civility went out the window.

There is no central leadership in Antifa. The ideology appeals to groups and people.

Anyone can identify as Atifa. No initiation. No membership cards.
