Read the whole thing.

Sarah Hoyt speaks for me.

A lot of us, starting with Trump, say something like “a pox on both their houses” and “those idiots are wrong, and this is terrible.” And we mean both sides, the Nazi idiots and the Antifa idiots who showed up armed and ready to intercept them.
Here’s the thing, dear left: A lot of us hate Nazis but think they’re covered by the First Amendment. A lot of us hate communism but think that if all the Antifa thugs did was show up and shout, they’re covered by the First Amendment. A lot of us laugh at your safe spaces.

  1. The most powerful hate group in the USA is the MSM. Having grown up in a time when it was a civic duty to read the daily paper so you would be informed today anyone who reads the paper as a source of information is misinformed. The journalists who write the stories and the editors who rewrite the stories have an agenda of hate against the idea of ‘America’. Some of the writing is done out of sheer ignorance but much of it has malicious intent.

  2. An LA crowd sourcing group ran ads in the Craigslist of Charlottsville a week before looking for lefties to create this mahem killing a girl. Zerohedge yesterday

  3. “No, not everyone who isn’t a communist is a fascist.  In fact the two movements had more in common with each other than with anyone else.”
    That pretty much covers the idiocy of socialists, fascists and other assorted ‘ists extreme propaganda and the mass media’s mouthpieces unquestioning support and maximum propaganda.
    Growing up in socialist system run by communists, your agent remembers and finds not simply the similarities, you could say exact copy of the mass media propaganda for that regime.
    The situation in the US really sucks.
    How a few nobodies with stupid ideas are presented as though that is where the country is going.
    The aim of this is to make people that don’t subscribe to socialist, fascist and other ‘ists ideas, to “shut tf up”.
    And that, people, is the whole purpose of this massive totalitarian propaganda.

  4. Exactly, and this is what Yuri Bezmenov warned about. Yuri said that our media and educational systems would be the first of our institutions to be infiltrated and taken over by the Marxist evil.
    That is why I no longer buy the dailies other than the National Post and even that has gone mostly progressive.

  5. Sarah speaks for me also. It heartbreaking to see the Soros/Alinsky and their media allies tearing the US apart.

  6. Be careful using the term “Nazi” just because the MSM applies it to one side of the conflict. In co-opting their terminology, we give credence to that label. Unlike most of my acquaintances, I am willing to admit that I do not know all the necessary details of this incident. But I do know that just because CBC refers to one side as Nazis (and the CBC crowd has no idea that the term “Nazi” is rooted in socialism) or fascists does not make it so. I refuse to use their terms unless I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are true.
    And the MSM has been wrong on pretty much everything else. Usually deliberately.

  7. $25 an hour. They have indicated that they have work for the next 3.5 years. (via a post somewhere by someone who actually investigated the Craig’s list ad.) Now I am also curious about who is paying the thugs on the other side. I realize there are some goofy neo-Nazi’s around (didn’t P. Trudeau drive around Montreal with a Nazi jacket at one point?), but I suspect that those orchestrating the anti-tearing-down-statues event in Charlottesville were paid to set the whole thing up as an attack on the credibility of the right. The flags, shirts and torch rally were phony, phony (paid leaders (likely leftist) with some idiot lemmings going along.) It is slanderous to call this a “Unite the Right” event since the performance had nothing to do with the political right. Underlying it all was another attempt to bring down Trump. He may have said the wrong thing (many people think he was right to point to blame on all sides), but it really did not matter what he said or when — the media was at-the-ready waiting to bring him down. He is accused of defending Nazi’s. I heard him attacking the Nazi’s, so I am not sure where that comes from. As I said, it does not matter what he says, he will be attacked.

  8. That’s not irony — boy are you clueless. We mock the left’s obsession with safe spaces because they mean safe from ‘mean’ things that people might say or criticism. Safe space for them is escaping from adulthood which necessitates dealing with the real world. Goldy used the term in a context where there was real danger and the possibility of an attack. Increasingly it is clear that the left cannot think straight. It’s exasperating.

  9. Yes. The media needs to embrace the power of *and*. As in, I reject everything white supremacist stand for *and* I still support the right to peaceful free speech *and* anti-fa is a violent organization that fancies themselves morality police *and* there was political interference that caused more cinflict *and* the police were incompetent either by choice or due to political orders.
    I’m going to sound rude and sarcastic here but did anyone notice that, unlike other terrorists attacks, journalists didn’t point out that your chances at being killed by a white supremacist is statistically less likely than….Or that we must not vilify them because it will radicalized other whites. Just a cynical observation of media bias and double standards. I don’t like extremists of any race, religion or political ideology. The media definitely picks sides.

  10. You can say that the political, academic and journalist class have instead embraced the opposing conjunction – the power of *or* : You must agree with every tenet of our progressive political ideology *or* you are a racist, sexist, islamaphobic bigot. You must agree that both the law and the concept of free speech do not apply equally to all citizens *or* you are a racist, sexist, islamaphobic bigot. You must agree that some terrorist attacks are worse than others *or* you are a racist, sexist, islamaphobic bigot. You must agree that the color of your skin determines privilege *or* you are a racist, sexist, islamaphobic bigot. You must believe that women’s unique nature makes them an essential part of any organization, and this nature that eludes men but you must also believe women are neurologically exactly the same as men *or* you are a racist, sexist, islamaphobic bigot who denies science.

  11. YOu might be a liberal if Donald Trump has to wear and apoligize for the KKK, but think it is racist to equate ISIS with Islam in anyway shape or form… you just might be a liberal..,.

  12. I am going a little against the trending opinion.. I think Trump must stomp on the ALT right.. They must not be allowed to recruit..They have come close in the past because they appeal to Young family values..BUT racism & violence is their only solution
    History tells a Story of Cults that started out as a social movement, but became ugly & violent.. The Freemasons almost dominated America (Washington was a Member) You may not find ALL the history, on the Web, of why they lost appeal…(I recall a young women who died after been sexually assaulted on a Train by Freemasons (Indiana ?) Google has cleaned (sanitized) the links…The Freemasons were an offshoot of a Cult known for the “New World Order”, and scientific Knowledge…World Dominance…
    The Alt-left are violent Marxists that will self destruct, drinking the Cool-aid (Jim-Jones Style) or overdose in 5-10 years.. They don’t appeal to average Americans because they are dim-witted losers
    The media are also dim-witted enemies of America
    That is my Opinion! A pecking Order of problems

  13. Ann Coulter speaks for me. Yeah, I know … she is a “provocateur” or “media whore” … or any number of other epithets designed to diminish her clear, concise, thinking. She’s a right wing WOMAN … who needs to be destroyed as urgently as any right wing “black”. Her concluding sentence …
    “Thank God Donald J. Trump is our president, and not Mitt Romney, not Marco Rubio and not that nasty woman.”

  14. White supremacists were pretty much done and relegated to the fringes of society. Only in the imagination of progressives were they still a powerful presence. If they are indeed making a comeback then identity politics and this bizarre idea that all white men are evil must share the blame. Stopping the proliferation of toxic identity politics and returning to the ideals of individual rights is a surer way to minimize all tribal violence. It won’t end it of course.

  15. Well, Trump has a lot to do with the resurgence of identity politics. But you know what. I think he will resign within a year. His administration is imploding. He will not go down fighting. He’ll resign. Thoughts?

  16. “Well, Trump has a lot to do with the resurgence of identity politics. But you know what. I think he will resign within a year. His administration is imploding. He will not go down fighting. He’ll resign. Thoughts?”
    Irony is lost on you comrade.
    You might try having some before requesting them of others.
    So much idiocy,so few words..such ignorance of history.
    Congratulations.

  17. Well, aren’t you smart. Da! The GOP is going to abandon the orange moron. If he does make it to 2020 (which is doubtful), he will not be running/winning on the GOP ticket. Rupert Murdoch is starting to give up on him and maybe the Mercers (his main funders) are not far behind. As I have said before, President Pence cannot happen soon enough!

  18. Identity politics is a tool of progressives that has now been borrowed by the right. The last US election was the first where whites noticeably began to vote as a bloc. If Trump is removed or forced out, I think relations between the ruling class and disgruntled voters will get worse, not better. If he is removed by violent means then things will get very ugly.
    The lefts use of antifa as their unofficial (quasi official?) morality police to decide which speeches people are allowed, what public works of art are acceptable and which groups are allowed to assemble is absolutely disgusting. I think liberals/progressives will lose control of their antifa Frankenstein monsters. Do rich leftists really think violent Marxists and communists will leave them alone?

  19. Your dream may become a nightmare that you won’t escape
    Trump is going to AZ for a rally… Watch how real patriots deal with
    the Marxist protesters… They know how BLM tried to intimidate them with (drug-store) Snipers,…but for real works better. The first dozen will earn their $25 per Hr acting fee.. The desert sand is ideal to dig & bury
    Trump will pardon Sheriff Joe & order Judge Snow removed from the Federal Bench.. The 9th circuit be dammed…
    When hell comes knocking the brave stand up…
    The Democrat Mayor of Phoenix is terrified! He should be petrified!
    JMHO
