Americans died fighting against communism and for the right of free speech , the right to assemble, the right to dissent. These "anti racist" protesters are communist scum who want an authoritarian government where there is a left wing authoritarian government, with no free speech, no right to dissent, no right to bear arms, no free media, no vote.
There are not communist - new or old. They are anarchists...and old and well established US tradition.

And they are not even socialists. They want all government to go away. And object to whatever it is you want. They hate the left at least as hard as they hate the right.

This is simply another right wing myth. The antifa is actually more of the right than the left.

Anti-white discrimination is the law of the land, and people who object to it are called Nazis. We've only seen that about 50 times in this thread.

All these losers who cry about affliction blame the minorities of this country, as if any minority (black, gay, etc.), has enough power and influence to systematically oppress them.

Meanwhile, the wealthy white people laugh at the morons and their misguided hate.

And like I stated earlier, the POTUS, VP, Congress, SCOTUS and executives/board of directors who are the major decision makers in this country are minorities. It's white men.

This is why I said somewhere, that I don't see what they are worried about. Whites still outnumber other ethnicities by a large margin in this country. For those who want to make America White, they're gonna have to get over that. Nothing they can do here for a White utopia. Maybe Poland, Sweden or Austria.

I agree with freedom of speech. I hate these people's words, but they have the right to peacefully gather. But are you seriously going to tell me that all the violence today was from the counter-protestors? That the peaceful Nazis had no part in it? Please.

The topic is Charlotesville protest. Several posters have commented on the car plowing into the crowd. When the driver was believed to be a Democrat, plenty on here were crying false flag. Since we know it was actually a trump-supporting Republican, no one has anything to say about that. So don't call me out about my comments. Any harsh words for the murderer?
Dude just give it up. Those people had a permit and were there legally. They weren't going to muck it up by turning violent all of a sudden. The cops had them surrounded. The fighting started with far left agitators who freak out at the sight of white racists and their little flags. The overly emotional ones threw the first punch because they think it's their god given first amendment right to punch a nazi.

We aren't talking about the car. We aren't talking about your definition of terrorism. We aren't talking about Muslims.

We are talking about 1st Amendment Rights and FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Do you get that? Can you talk about that? Do you have anything to add to that specific topic that was the subject of the post that you quoted?

The issue is, whether or not you like Unite the Right rally, whether or not you think they are "nazis", whether or not you think every last person on the right is a nazi, as some dumbasses on here think, is that First Amendment Rights were violated today.

That group, whether you like them or not, had the right to assemble there. They had their permit. At 8pm last night a final ruling was passed and they were allowed to continue their assembly there.

As they tried to get started, the cops would not let them get started, and then a Captain came out and told them that it was an "unlawful" assembly despite the fact that they had their permit to assemble there.

That is the point of the conversation that you quoted. You can discuss that, or you can go talk to a wall about your definition of terrorism and cars, because MY biggest issue with today is violation of our fricken RIGHTS!
I agree with you.

Just do not get mad when Black Lives Matter has the right to do so also!

Anarchists are left wing. You clearly don't know anything and are confusing anarchists with anarcho-capitalists.

Anarchists believe in anti-state socialism and think property is theft. They're even more radical than communists.

Read a book.

Soda pop taxes to reduce obesity.

Govt. doing things for our own good...that should be our choice. I don't see anywhere in my post(s) where I stated..or even implied, that I don't think everyone should have the same opportunities and rights.

Rights are inviolable, by definition.

Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome. Nor should it.

But the Left is just as controlling as the Right..more-so..in some ways.

The amalgam that is our Govt. is broken--left and right are locked in this death-match while the people watch in amazement..never dreaming that it's THEIR fault.
I do agree that government is broken. That's for sure. And I apologize for the snark. Soda pop taxes are like taxes on cigarettes. When people become ill because of an epidemic such an obesity, the entire population is affected with a healthcare crisis. Not sure what you mean about the government doing things for our own good that should be our choice.

They have a right to counter protest on the other side of the street and not engage in violence. That's it. No one has a right to cross the line and commit assault.

Richard Spencer is not a white supremacist by either definition. He does not believe whites are superior to other races, and he does not want whites to rule over other races. You are just parroting a bogus narrative.

Spencer wants whites to be able to live separately and autonomously not because whites are superior but because whites have the same right to exist as everyone else.
