Wasn't the gathering some kind of right wing gathering? Not all right wing people are white nationalists. Not all white nationalists are white supremacists. But the media is painting everyone who attended the rally as being evil white supremacists. Seems like a bold assertion if you ask me.

Either way, it takes two to tango. Antifa showed up looking for trouble, as is usually the case when they make an appearance. They root for chaos and disorder, first and foremost, while standing for little else.

Whole lot of freaks on both sides, making it a bad day for everyone.
Only one person used their car as weapon.

And Trump said he'd like to know the facts is why it took him so long to comment, yet when Obama said let's wait until the facts are in before calling the Orlando shooting terrorism, Trump was all over him.

You are off topic.

Can't defend Trump? Attack Obama.

Nope, but both are too blame. If Antifa came into town peacefully, we'll never know what could of happened, but we do know the Neo Nazi scumbags did have two earlier protests this year and violence didn't break out.

First let me premise this by saying I am not a Trump supporter, I despise the man with every fiber of my being. I think the media is twisting his words for their benefit.

He clearly condemned white supremacy and neo-nazi and then stated both sides acted violently, which they did. You cannot say people were justified being violent because the other side are morally corrupt.

Trump does not have a way with words, but I don't think he was supporting alt right.

What is a "white supremacist" anyway? I'm still waiting to hear someone provide a definition of this term that the media insists on using to describe anyone who attended the "Unite the Right" rally.
I'll start.
It's someone who doesn't realize that the average IQ of Jews and Asians beats "pure whites" by a long shot.

That alone makes them ignorant. Not name calling - an accurate description for those who don't know their history, statistics and science.

Does that help?

I think you can do better than my one-up definition. Use "the google" which is a place largely populated by brown (Asians and Pakistanis).....and you can find out. Or, maybe the "facebook" (Jewish founded) can give you a hint.

If you think both sides are responsible you are defending NAZI's. What does that say about you?

They were attacked, so yes by definition they were the victims. They have the right to demonstrate, and it would have been foolish to do so without any means of defense when attacks were likely. They knew they couldn't count on the police to handle it.

At that time no one was marching, everyone was trying to leave - including the driver.

Of course they are. They live in the shadow of President Victim.

Trump is the leader of the victimized grievance party.

I will concede that most people do not know the difference, including me. And I am not sure there is much of a difference at all.

MSNBC did a segement on it, because this is simply not common knowledge.

White Nationalist vs. White Supremacist: What Is the Difference? | MSNBC

But if there is a difference, very debatable, it's be unreasonable to expect the media to know this.
