You do know that number would have been massively dwarfed by those on the left who would point fingers at supremacists if that had been a black church, don't you?

I don't believe that it was isis, antifa or supremacists, who could all disappear for all I care, it was probably just one lone nut job
I am actually with you. It was a lone nut job. The problem is like with Vegas, it don't stop people from thinking that ANTIFA did it. I'll admit that it was really only 3 posters, but it shows that people do think it and use it when they can like saying "Hitler" for Trump.

This is joyous.




The left defending Antifa isn't new
CNN compared AntiFa to the soliders that landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day

I've stopped Russian influence outside of cases like Papadopolous. Manafort is more for not declaring that he got money from Ukraine as a campaign manager.

At least five posts blaming ANTIFA for Texas. And this deflection came from a poster that posted an alternative fact thread about Sen. Paul's attack by an ANTIFA neighbor.
You do understand I was being sarcastic, right? Hence the scare quotes? Those "reports" were the RWNJs on /r/thedonald and #tcot Twitter.

Is this becoming the new Soros defacto response to the right wing?
The whacko who assaulted Paul was a Democrat. Let's not blame Antifa for plain old Democrats. Paul must have been out of lawn signs to steal.

Fascinating that those who hate Trump, are the same ones who defend a violent racist hate group.

Self deception by definition, can't be perceived.

I don't blame the attack on Paul on politics. It was likely a neighbor dispute of some sort. To think anything else is making something out of nothing.

Strawman, i am NOT AT ALL DEFENDING ANTIFA for what they have actually done like part of Charlottesville, the Boston free speech rally and the Phoenix Trump rally, but rather defending them from being named as the cause for Action X, even though there isn't even marginal proof of ANTIFA being involved in Action X. Blaming ANTIFA for anything is the new Socialist card for the right.

Was it actual direct blame or merely speculation of their possible involvement?

At the Austin Antifa get together of about 20 friends at City Hall, the guy wearing the Unicorn costume, looks just like the photos shown of this evil mess.
