And Antifa does not have my respect with some of their tactics."My brain's a good brain!"0

Not that it mitigates the racists violeance, but who thinks antifa went looking for a fight? I do
Doesn't someone on here know Woody Kaine? Lets get that person to ask Woody his thoughts.

Haven't read all of the posts, but my thought is that even if Trump says the right things about denouncing racism and white nationalists, it takes him way too long to do the right thing.
It is odd because you want to say he has terrible instincts (which he does), but at the same time his instincts helped win him the presidency. Sad.

Totally agree...too bad Antifa has become the exact thing that their namesake suggests they are against. Hardly different than any other anti-free speech groups. Fuck the KKK, Nazis and fuck Antifa. I'm good with putting them all on their own little island and letting them club each other out of existence.Tiki said:Fascism is pretty lame. Anti fascism is not lame.

Pretty ballsy for Trump to discuss this yesterday with the Charlottesville chitstorm
He calls that racist fuck who has no respect for the the law or human rights a "great American patriot". This is definitely not surprising, and definitely reinforces what we already know about Trump and friends.0 -
I reck'in that's exactly what law enforcement did, let them club each other, now someone is dead 20 injured and a 20 yr old is likely jailed for life.PJPOWER said:

I think instead of making an immediate off the hip speech right after the tragic event happened would have been lost on so many. No one cares what a politician says during an extreme time of hate/mourning/pain. After a few days for everything to sink in and emotions a little ( I say a little) less heated the people who the message was intended for were in a better position to receive it. You can't react to everything at every second and expect your message to be heard. It's like people that constantly post in one thread. Eventually people don't read them. So to answer no I don't think it was damage control.
I don't ever recall a sitting president saying nothing about a major event to "let the events sink in".
I was wondering where the police presence was.
Given the unrest I am surprised that there weren't shootings. I would think the police deserve credit for that.
Come on man. You're really coming across as an apologist. Even if it was true... one side is armed to perpetuate hate, while one side would have been armed to stop hatred (just like in WWII when 'real' patriots took up arms against nazis).

That's strange... I would have thought a normal person would be more bothered by killing someone because of the twisted ideology.JC29856 said:
I doubt Heather understood the full gravity of the situation there, I don't think anyone did.josevolution said:
Ok so I'll ask would it bother you if these groups decided to March in your town in the name of bigotry would you oppose them or just stand idle ... before you answer I'll tell you what I would do exactly what Heather did stand there and show my support for anti racism ....yes all violence is horrific!tempo_n_groove said:

Hey you can see any way you choose too I'm done with giving this bafoon a pass on anything like I already stated he has already shown me his true colors and they are not a rainbow ...fuck him !tempo_n_groove said:
Just throwing this out there. When an incident happened here when Obama was president people crucified him for not calling it "radical Islam" when a Muslim carried out an act.josevolution said:It took well over 24 hrs for Orange bafoon to denounce all the hate groups involved in weekends marches ! Please tell me what was more important in his vacation plans then to denounce the murder of an American citizen by a racist group ...
Where in Europe when an incident happened they labeled it a "radical Islam attack"
Not that this was a Muslim/Islam matter but I can see it the same way as Trump not calling it out for what it was right away.jesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -

His instincts are about manipulating a certain segment of the population. That won him the election. He has no instincts around compassion.bootlegger10 said:Haven't read all of the posts, but my thought is that even if Trump says the right things about denouncing racism and white nationalists, it takes him way too long to do the right thing.
