Conservative activists and leftist counterprotesters…
I stopped reading at “leftist counterprotesters.”
Yup, That’s AP all over. Bothsiderism and false equivalency BS. I have no idea why Josh uses AP. It’s the one thing right now that stops me from signing up for prime. I positively loathe AP. Even before their epic fail on the Clinton Foundation.
I know what you’re saying: “Not_So_Fluffy, how can I become a leftist, like you?”
It’s simple, just state that you are against hate-speech, white supremacy and feco-cephalic, Neo-Nazi fascists and the Associated Press will label you as one. And once it’s in the news media, we all know it has to be true.
Surely there are folks on the right that are not bigots, supremacists or full of racial hate? Why are they allowing media to smear them by allowing the left to be only side against racism & hate? Is it true that only the left stands up for American ideals & values? . That is how these “both sides” articles sound. You have to be on the left if you’re anti racism…and on right if you’re filled with hate?
I understand that on D-Day, conservative activists and leftist counterprotesters faced off at Normandy.
… remind me again, which side were John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and Red Buttons on?
They but needs to stand …TALL … and profess loudly such -----
Better question would be … Why are we still waiting for them to do so ?? …
This goes out to all our “alt-right” friends who are just interested in statues and freedom. Mr. Hackman has a message for you:
Free sheetcake in Boston today!

There´s a nice article about the antifa in Charlottesville here.
A sample:
Rebekah Menning
Charlottesville resident
I stood with a group of interfaith clergy and other people of faith in a nonviolent direct action meant to keep the white nationalists from entering the park to their hate rally. We had far fewer people holding the line than we had hoped for, and frankly, it wasn’t enough. No police officers in sight (that I could see from where I stood), and we were prepared to be beaten to a bloody pulp to show that while the state permitted white nationalists to rally in hate, in the many names of God, we did not. But we didn’t have to because the anarchists and anti-fascists got to them before they could get to us. I’ve never felt more grateful and more ashamed at the same time. The antifa were like angels to me in that moment.
But, you know, both sides are the same.
I understand the conservative activists actually had a valid permit for their rally. The leftist counterprotesters flouted the law!
I read it all but that lead sentence is beyond awful…
Our thoroughly fucked up conservatively-biased mainstream media remains the largest obstacle to beginning clean up of all the misinformation/bullshit in this country…
ONCE UPON A TIME IN…
A tale of two cities within the same city, could be your city or a city near you.
Free speech v hate speech.
White Privilege Frankenstein
Free Speech meet. Steve comes-out and talks openly with the public. Free speech for all YA KNOW. Steve speaks openly about his bro-mance with his creation, aka Trump. CAllie
Free speech rally - that’s a bunch of bull shit! Time for America to wak up and stop allowing right wing extremists, Nazi’s, white nationalists, white supremacists (KKK), to hide behind the Constitution.
Hate speech and racism is NOT free speech - PERIOD!
If our leaders and courts don’t realize that, then it is time to push to amend the Constitution banning Nazis, KKK, white supremacists, and white nationalists. If any of these groups rose to power, you know they will immediately take away the rights of minorities - they already do this in several southern red states like Texas and Alabama on voting rights. As soon as Alabama required photo ID’s to vote, the started closing down DMV offices only in minority areas - the white areas kept everyone of their DMV offices. THAT IS HOW THEY OPERATE!
What is up with TPM and their bogus adjectives: Conservaitves and then leftist demonstrators.
Try this: right wing racists and not conservatives!
Try this: Defenders of Democracy and NOT leftist anything
Yup. I am in Maine watching coverage on New England Cable News and I must say this is the most impressive display of protest that I have seen in Boston in close to 50 years. NECN has been interviewing many protesters and they have come from all over the Commonwealth as well as all the New England states to protest against hate. The march against hate has thousands of people stretching wall to wall for at least five blocks down Tremont Street. Hundreds more were already at the common having their own counter-protest in response to the so called free speech rally. It appears very few people are here for the right wing rally. NECN is not even bothering to give live coverage to the right wing speakers. I could not say if they are even bothering to give their speeches. This is truly glorious. A very proud day for our Commonwealth and the New England region. This is a very loud message against hate.
Welll I was being snarky…while hoping there are conservatives on right willing to stand up & not cede only the left is true to American ideals 
Excellent! Thought you’d like this one as well.
