    GOP senator: 'There is no realistic comparison' between antifa and white supremacists:

    “In yesterday’s meeting, Senator Scott was very, very clear about the brutal history surrounding the white supremacist movement and their horrific treatment of black and other minority groups,” Scott said in a statement. “Antifa is bad and should be condemned, yes, but white supremacists have been killing and tormenting black Americans for centuries.”

    “There’s no realistic comparison. Period,” he continued.

    Yeah, yeah. Ignores the bloody history of miitant leftists all around the world, and ignores the labelling of anyone who disgarees with leftist poitics as fascists, racists and white supremacists.

      America doesn't have a bloody history of militant leftists AFAIK. Neither does NZ. So I'm not quite sure which "all around the world" you mean.

      The fact that certain groups in America are white supremacists becomes pretty obvious when they self-identify as neo-Nazis and chant Nazi slogans.

        Presumably you're referring to Stalin et al, but the US does not have a history of bloody left-wing activity. It does have a bloody history of right-wing activity in the KKK and the Fascism which is being mimicked by the White Supremacists. As for being labelled as "fascists, racists and white supremacists" they labelled themselves at Charlottesville with their anti Semitic chanting and Fascist slogans like "blood and soil", which is the Nazi idealisation of a racially defined national body of ("blood") united against non-whites.

          This is from the Antifa facebook page for Richmond. A Confederate Heritage group from Tennessee is having a rally at the Lee Monument downtown, and Antifa is advertising for people to come. I have blacked out the F bombs, but suffice it to say, the Senator is correct. The "White Supremacists" who really aren't in this rally, aren't the ones saying *** the Police, so there is no comparison. The Confederate Heritage group is the peaceful one and Antifa is the one inciting violence:

            Actually, it does. Bloody union wars like Haymarket Square and Blair Mountain, violent campus groups like the Black Panthers and the Students for a Democratic Society, and violent anti-Government movements like the Weather Underground are all part of the fabric of US history.

              Nobody said that the ideology of the Antifa is "as bad" as the White supremacists, nor did they compare their histories. We are saying they are just as evil in their current actions and methods. The Antifa has become what they hate. They hate authoritarianism, well that is what they are. They hate that the KKK and Nazis hurt other people? Well, that's what the Antifa does.

                          Yeah, but I was talking about historical incidents, not modern ones. The US has a history of violence on the extremes of both sides. The problem is that today's leftist gets away with saying all of us on the right are the extreme right.

                                Free speech is expensive. That was one takeaway from the University of California, Berkeley campus on Thursday as the Berkeley College Republicans hosted Ben Shapiro, the latest in a line of conservative speakers to roil the flagship campus. The university estimated it spent $600,000 on security for Mr. Shapiro’s visit, not a pittance for an institution that has struggled financially in recent years.
