Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain

Your avatar has a Hitler moustache. Therefore, you are a Nazi.

I suspected that!

And counter protesters have just as much of a right to free speech and assembly as the hate groups do. If a hate group has a rally scheduled in Boston and 40,000 protesters show up to shout down their hate speech, thats called free speech as well.

FIFY

I support the right of liberal hate groups like BLM to protest and speak out. I do not support their right to violence.

[Jedidiah]

But it's not a mischarecterization, you are all defending the rights of the KKK, Neo-Nazis, and white supremacist racist groups while blaming the counter-protesters for the violence. You've all made it quite clear where your allegiances lie.

I suport the right of the counter protesting hate group to speak or assemble, but not turn to violence. I do not support violence from either of the two hate group sides.

"It's not a mischaracterization...." followed by mischaracterization. Nice.

You've made it clear that you've already decided what you think we believe, facts be damned.

Spouting dishonest accusations does not seem to be a problem for JimL and cohorts.

It's kind of a giveaway that you have nothing of substance when you resort to blatant inflammatory mischaracterization like this.

It's kind of a giveaway when he is forced to grossly mischaracterize others to prop up his own views.

"Counter-protesters" who multiple witnesses report as starting the violence pretty much wherever they show up.

"Counter-protesters" who are often carrying communist symbols, which according to the, um, "logic" you've displayed here, means that you support the tens upon tens of millions of people slaughtered under communist regimes (Stalinist purges, Mao Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, the killing fields under Pol Pot -- to name but a few).

Why do you support genocidal mass murder?

Whenever someone is reduced to that it is a strong indication that even they are at least somewhat aware of the bankruptcy of their position.

Perhaps usually, but some of our liberals here seem to be totally unconnected to reality.

[JimL]

not one of us has said anything about stopping the counter-protesters from using their free speech. We have just said that free speech does not included 1> using violence 2> stopping someone else from using THEIR free speech.

Try to pay attention.

Yes, and you have all, as you always do, without evidence, automatically jump to the defense of the hate groups by claiming that the violence was started by the counter protesters. One could argue that hate speech is a form of violence in and of itself. It isn't physical violence, but it is an attack and a threat to the targets of the white supremacists hatred.

[Tassman]

Just because we support their right to free speech doesn't mean we agree with the KKK or Nazis. The First Amendment is there exactly so ANYONE can say whatever they want without fear of being beat up or arrested. Especially speech that people don't agree with. It is all acceptable. I am just glad you don't live here, Tassman. Take your bigotry and anti-free speech rhetoric and try to convince your own country of your ideas. We ain't buying it.

[Darth Executor]

A KKK rally with cross lightings IS free speech, stupid.

Show me one post where any one here said that only the BLM and Communists were guilty. I, and others, have repeatedly said both of these foul groups are guilty. One example of someone saying only one side was bad and the white supremacists were good. Violence is violence. Some of us went with the early reports that antifa and cohorts started the violence. True or not there were two guilty sides involved, not one.

[Darth Executor]

antifa should automatically be suspect of starting any violence in which they are involved because:

I. They openly admit they go to these events to violently assault people. If there were any antifas here they would berate useful idiots like JimL for their apologetics.
II. They engage in violence even when there are no "nazis" or right wingers to assault, usually against local businesses or police

Change what was claimed and then burn straw.
