Exactly. See how they react when CAIR and other Muslim groups are asked to denounce Islamic terrorism. We’re told “terrorism has no religion”.
But apparently it has politics…
There is a problem with coerced denunciations. I think that Liberals and Democrats are pretty much as dangerous as a lot of white pride people. There all want to tear existing society apart and mold it in their image, maybe the whities a little less so. Liking the status quo makes one a conservative, or as liberals call them Nazis. There’s hate all around.
So, is Jake Tapper ready to “denounce” his fellow race-baiting, white-hating libtards?
Of course he is not, in fact, I think he would “refuse to do so” himself.
Still waiting for Democrats to denounce Steve Scalise’s shooter.The left are hypocrites and liars always remember that.
Trump should have said that he will denounced White supremacists when the left denounces Black, Muslim, LBJTXYZ, gender, and all other supremacism as well. They can’t do that as their supremacism is institutionalized and they prefer to control the language and narrative. Conservative squishes go along with that and make magnanimous losers.
The Left does not believe in the concept of forgiveness. But without forgiveness, there is no possibility for repentance. The left is abandoning traditional religious concepts, with no thought as to what might be left behind that was something good.
“White Nationalists”
Liberal Progressives have infused the idea that “Nationalism is Hate” for European white Nations, but hypocritically advocate Nationalism and cultural identity for everyone else.
There is NOTHING wrong with nationalism and preserving cultural identity for everyone – white nations included. Racism and hatred is the exclusion of European White nations from the inalienable rights afforded everyone else, proven in degrees of violence by the Liberal Progressive at every level of western society.

The role played by BLM was incredibly damaging to Democrats, they haven’t figured out that the Nation is sick of the demonizing themes..
The Republicans don’t want to make the same mistake, let (MSM) CNN think it’s OK to demonize Trump.. More stupidity… faster
BTW: The RNC is using the Trump Connection to raise funds for the the 2018 Republican Congressional members. Don’t fund them, let them raise money on their own merit… Trump may not be an “Establishment” Republican in 2018 and would be running candidates against the RNC….
JMHO
President Trump’s statement in response to the Charlottesville violence was spot on. BOTH sides need to reclaim their humanity. The American people aren’t stupid. They know it takes two to tangle. The fabricated leftist narrative of Nazi Alt. Rightist Trump voters HATING people … “ovvvv cullller” is going nowhere. The American people SEE the so-called Intifa, and BLM for what they are … agitprop. Paid Leftist ghouls sent to hurl batteries into the faces of conservatives. They showed-up with aerosol cans they lit on fire. Nevermind the CFC’s they unleashed … they just wanted to BURN the Stars and Bars. Burn the Nazi flags (that they brought themselves). This is all “political theatre” … and the box office is weak. President Trump, very properly, refused to choose sides. THAT’S Presidential. As much as it revulses me … the Neo-Nazi’s have a constitutional RIGHT to march, protest, and show up to complain about the erasure of Confederate history. So unlike our former President who chided “white folk” whenever given the chance … who self-identified with “black” criminals and thugs describing them as potential family members … President Trump followed the US Constitution. BOTH sides have a right to demonstrate and remonstrate … NEITHER side has a right to injure or kill. The American people understand. The American people may not be able to quote the Constitution, but they understand it’s content quite well. It seems to me that one side respects and believes the content of the Constitution, and the other side wants it erased. The leftists in the street foment violence as a means to undermine Constitutional rights … to transform a LEGAL political gathering into an ILLEGAL brawl.
The problem is that progressives insist on forcing people into an identity group and then demand unending apologies for that groups sins (past or present, real or imagined). I accept neither of those demands. When atheist libertarians in Canada start rioting, use violence and create general mayhem to force personal and economic freedom on people…then I’ll consider apologizing.
I don’t want to sound flippant and sarcastic because people did die and were injured, which is completely against my libertarian beliefs. But I find myself becoming unsympathetic towards all of this political, race and religion nonsense. As it’s been said by a few people, the vast majority of us get along fine despite differences. When I see the various shit disturbers trying to drag everyone into their sick world I’m tempted to put aside my beliefs and consider exile. Let all the various factions beat the crap out of each other in some dedicated location so the rest of us can live in peace. Berkley? Portland? The Hamptons? Back to Wall Street to pester crony capitalists?
I think a lot of Trump supporters that went to rallies saw first hand what they were dealing with for the first time. It’s really eye opening going to a political event and encountering leftists. Bizarrely, they seem to think getting in your face and calling you names for your beliefs will bring you to their side or something. For me it just makes me want to double down. I have and will do anything to get into a conservative political event blocked by protesting faggots. Calling me names and blocking my path re-affirms my choices.
Perfectly stated, Kate. Bravo!
The left, showing its usual charm:

Soros, Frankfurt School disciples, and Alinksyites everywhere will, no doubt, be pleased at her “heroic” stand.
Seen on Twitter:
FLASHBACK: Obama still defended the Black Lives Matter movement at a police memorial in Dallas even after 5 police officers were killed
Meanwhile,…well behind the scenes , Soros is congratulating himself on all things going according to plan.

You’ve got to be kidding. “Notice the Nazi flag looks like it was just unfolded from a box”? As in, what, just bought it, so clearly not a cherished heirloom, so clearly not a real neo-Nazi, more likely a liberal plant, probably paid as part of some Soros-funded misinformation campaign?
When “there are creases in that swastika flag” is enough for you to convince yourself that there are, in fact, no white supremacists in your political tent, then all reason — and hope — is lost.
Video of the car attack in Charlottesville asks the question: Did they arrest the right man? They arrested the owner of the car James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio but was the driver James G Field also of Ohio. If the driver was Field and not Fields it then begs the question was this a false flag operation and if so who instigated and sponsored it?

An interesting first hand account of the events in Charlottesville:

I see one of the Powerline guys has now made a similar point to the one you made so pithily:
{T]he assertion that President Trump needs to condemn alt-right hate groups because some members have expressed support for him is basically a call, witting or not, for Trump to give credence to the slanderous narrative that these groups have something to do with him.

I’d only add to that there’s nothing UNWITTING about it.
“There all want to tear existing society apart and mold it in their image, maybe the whities a little less so. Liking the status quo makes one a conservative, or as liberals call them Nazis.”
This is exactly what is going and this has been the main focus of the left since October 1917. Between the efforts of initially the Lenin/Stalin thugs, then the Frankfurt School, then the post-WWII KGB efforts, and more recently the Soros/Alinsky, leftist university professor cabal, they appear to be quite successful. All our thousands of years old societal mores are being torn apart.
I had the same thought when I saw that pic of the Nazi flag. Posed and setup. By whom for what purpose I do not understand yet. Clearly people intent on creating a mess.
Eli, it’s not only the “newness” of the flag, it is the prominence given it beside the confederate flags and by such good luck that professional photographer was at hand.
eli, yer analytical skill are lacking. Yon makes good points, especially considering that G SoreA$$ supported orgs are behind a lot of turmoil in the USA for the last couple of years. Also unions are sh*t disturber as of late. Maybe you should exercise some discretion and shut your stupid pie hole when you haven’t clue!
You can add certain elements inside the church to that list.
In the last 40 years I’ve seen my own denomination drift from an institution based upon biblical theology towards one dedicated to social justice, thereby ensuring it eventually becomes irrelevant, and, like Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
A few years ago, yet another synod was formed within that denomination. It broke away from the main body in reaction to its socialistic tendencies. While claiming to be conservative, it, unfortunately, is more of the lukewarm centrist variety.
I’m sure I’ll live long enough to see the Ten Commandments replaced by Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, with the church then declaring them to be divinely inspired and equating them to holy writ.
After all, I actually heard in one Sunday service many years that the passage in Isaiah about proclaiming “liberty to the captives” was really a call to social revolution.
Yes, Marxism has infected almost every institution.
As Paul, above in the comments alludes to, the left has come right out into the open that a national feeling or values of any morality and behavior by anyone is wrong. They do not believe anyone crossing the border is illegal, and in fact the more radical think there should be no borders. Even our own prime minister says “we are now a post-national state”.
Unfortunately, many in the clergy hold that same view. I sat through many Sunday morning sermons in which national pride was equated to racism, slavery, fascism, and all manner of evil short of genocide.
“Also unions are sh*t disturber as of late.”
Unions have been a CORE Democrat/Liberal/Labour power base for money and muscle since before WWII. Nothing new or ‘late’ about it.
One of the first things President Trump did was sit down with Union Leaders and co-opt their earlier Leftist support by promising to increase Union contracts and economic participation in POTUS Trump’s America First initiatives by bringing back the core manufacturing base and major contracts by rejuvenating America’s rearmament and the arming of America’s Allies with defence industry’s contracts.
Putting money and profit back into defence production and R&R will revitalize defence/security industry, which used to be the NUMBER #1 industry in the west, and the security growth will spin off into paying dividends such as rebuilding the second greatest global industry, namely Travel and Tourism.
Travel and Tourism are the nexus of the spread of Western Capitalist Culture throughout the world and the prime vector of economic fecundity and civilization in the Modern Age.
Whatever the identity of the flag’s owner, I think the evidence supports the Nouveau Nazi theory.
The fresh-from-the-package creases show it clearly wasn’t a treasured heirloom.
Was he a made-for-media plant? I don’t know. Someone should ask Bob Creamer.
