Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

You're right; he refers to it as "methods". Funny how he thinks such weaselly double-speak qualifies as firm denunciation of liberal violence.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

There is no moral equivalence between the goals of Antifa and the goals of the Neo-Nazis as implied by Trump and his Evangelical supporters...to the extent that the former Grand Wizard thanked Trump for blaming 'alt-left' for Charlottesville. He said: "We're going to fulfil the promises of Donald Trump, and that's what we believed in, that's why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he's going to take our country back and that's what we gotta do".

This is what’s being condemned by virtually everybody, from political leaders on both sides to the heads of business and international leaders...except the Evangelicals, as is evident from the kerfuffle were seeing on these boards.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostI’ll make it simple for the dummies. What Antifa is opposing is Fascism, as its name indicates. Fascism is, I think generally agreed, a bad thing. OTOH the Neo-Nazis and the KKK promote Nazism. Hence the goals of Antifa are good in opposing Nazism, even if their methodology is sometimes bad (e.g. the violent bits...clear enough?)

Yet you now claim the YOU have been condemning the violence too when in fact you have been defending it. You have zero credibility here Tassman. You are a liar and a hypocrite. With every post you make you make all liberals look worse.
Not only that but you can't even see that the Antifa ARE fascists.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostWell you’d better tell that to the former Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke, who thanked Trump and his supporters for blaming 'alt-left' for Charlottesville instead of the KKK and White Supremacists.
And regarding KKK thanking Trump? So what? How can Trump determine who supports him. I bet there were some pretty unsavory characters supporting Hillary too. Like the Black Panthers. Does that make Hillary a racist?

Originally posted by Roy View PostAntifa may employ forcible suppression of opposition, but that doesn't make them fascists unless they also support strong government, nationalism and state control of industry and commerce.
Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce.
But most of the left are just defining fascists as racism and forcible suppression. Which the antifa are doing in spades. The KKK isn't even trying to forcible suppress the opposition. They were just protesting. They don't want to control industry or even to change the government, they just want to promote their racist ideas and separate the races. The Antifa on the other hand want to force their ideas onto others, using violence to get their way. They are against freedom of speech and democracy. They want to be the dictator of what you can and cannot do. The thought police. They claim to be anarchists but in reality they are authoritarian thugs.

Originally posted by Tassmoron View PostWell you’d better tell that to the former Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke, who thanked Trump and his supporters for blaming 'alt-left' for Charlottesville instead of the KKK and White Supremacists.
"David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years. I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK. Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now."
Besides, President Trump never blamed the "alt-left" only. On the contrary, he explicitly condemned the "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides." You'd have to be a liberal moron (hey, look who I'm talking to!) to read that statement as giving the KKK a free pass. But even if that statement was somehow unclear, he later said, "Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. [...] To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held accountable."
So, no, Trump never exonerated white supremacists in any way, shape, or form.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Roy View PostI doubt that when you wrote 'Antifa ARE fascists.' you were using it as just a pejorative. Anyway, you're wrong. Neo-Nazis do support nationalism and strong, all-encompassing authoritarian government.
