I don't agree with their message or beliefs, but they have that right to voice their opinions without having violence directed at them.
I agree with you. I don't like their message, but I respect the right to protest PEACEFULLY. Break no laws, do not chant for violence against others, march as you wish. Loot, riot, chant for violence should be met by LEOs ending the riot for you.via tear gas if needed.

what a fantastic idea to have a violent anti white racist like wes bellamy as vice mayor lol.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is probably one of the least credible sources you could possibly find to cite. The primary benefactor of SPLC is George Soros, who is also the primary benefactor of Wikipedia, which is why Wiki cites SPLC in so many of it's articles on conservatives they don't like. SPLC is itself a "hate group."

I know, I would at least check out both sides of an argument, just in case somebody wants to throw the facts in my face.

Default Is the Virginia rally a representation of 2017 America?

I don't think a group of 40 or 50 people represent America.

The Southern Poverty Law Center demonstrates how rich white liberals can profit from a non-profit via the guild of other rich white liberals. Some at the Southern Poverty Law Center enjoy a life with affluence and no accountability. The Southern Poverty Law Center knows no poverty itself, it only knows lavish headquarters and exists as an immune echo chamber which lashes out against anything it doesn't like claiming it is racist.
And, it is funded by George Soros, who also funds Wikipedia. That's why Wikipedia cites SPLC so often in it's articles trashing conservative icons.

Any facts that do no support the right-wing agenda are clearly creations of the "evil, left-wing media."

You know one of the many negative things all right-wingers have in common? They never consider themselves wrong on anything. They never learn something new that contradicts their narrow, hate-filled world view and say, "Oh, I didn't know that. I guess I was wrong about it and should reconsider my beliefs in that area." Nope - if you ask any of them and look at how they act, they are always right - always. Nevermind reality or the facts - those will be ignored as needed so they can continue to pretend to be right about everything all the time.

Stereotyping? Nope. I used to be a Republican before I got better, and of the Republican friends I still have from those days, not a single one of them will ever admit to being wrong on anything. Oh, the excuses they make to justify themselves when the facts are against them are both sad and hilarious, but they'll never buckled to inconvenient realities. Too much of their sense of self-worth is tied up in "being right" even when they are wrong, so they can't give up.

It is the sign of a very immature person to never be open to change, particularly when the facts demand it, but that is what we're dealing with in about 1/3 of the nation.

Looks like one of the right wingers may have driven a car into a crowd of counter protesters. Details sketchy.

And what conservative icons would those be? David Duke?

Just more of the endless conspiracies from the far-right.

They are simply a few dozen people who only represent themselves.
