More media turning on Antifa. They all got their instructions real quick... Antifa, black-clad and often violent, is strong in Philly http://www.philly.com/philly/news/p...ten-violent-is-strong-in-philly-20170829.html
They partnered with BLM, you guys defended them in Charlottesville, they support gay, tranny, black and illegal alien causes. They're liberals. Own it.
Repeating this over and over doesn't make it true. Up until about 5 minutes ago, they were the darlings pit bulls (well, chihuahuas) of the left.
Pelosi IS a liberal; liberals are closet conservatives. But the violent left may be over; the DemocRats hoped to hold their fire until the ALT could do even MORE damage, and then welcome the mass of estranged lefties back with open arms, but they've abandoned that in hopes of getting the center. So the Rats will get some lefties back, but not as many as if the ALT had burnt the left down completely. The Dems were in stand-down mode, but too late to stick to that strategy...
Damn...........that's a trash can slam if I ever saw one. I'm calling my taxidermist to check pricing for a den collage.
The have communists, socialists, and anarchists. But those seeking violence are anarchists. What makes them much different than the KKK et al is that they have the fundamentally noble cause of being anti-fascist. The KKK and nazis have no redeeming ideology. And they have not been the core of the left. They are fringe. Unlike the Trump cult which has a core of white nationalists - the ones who wouldn't care if he shot someone on 5th Ave. No left wing candidate will claim that their followers would support him or her even if they committed murder. Understand the difference? The left wing doesn't brag about being able to shoot people and get away with it. And they certainly don't elect people who would say so.
But but ah but weren't they heroic nazi fiighters just last week? Everyone on the left, the media and some on the right called them patriotic enforcers for the progressive cause. If I remember correctly you were a faithful acolyte of antifa a scant few hours ago. What gives?
I think of the Antifas as just anarchists and losers who glom on to any liberal-leaning demonstration so they can use the crowd to be violent.
By the way guys, if Pelosi denounced Antifa today, does that mean she was for them yesterday? What took her so long? Why does she get months to decide what side to take but Trump's only gets micro seconds?
They're not remotely liberals; liberals are conservative lite - connies who can't own that they are what they mock.
I see your signature claims Trump is a criminal; should this be reported? Maybe make your best argument rather than trying to shut others down?
You mistake the DemocRats for the left. The Rats don't care about the left other than as a political tool or liability. They'd become the latter, so Pelosi and company spoke out. The Cants operate the same way.
I think Pelosi and other lefties are just now doing this, instead of 1 1/2 - 8 or even 30 years ago because the writing is on the wall. They're afraid that they can't get away with it any longer. And if they don't distance themselves from it now, they may wind up having to own it. People, including our president, are wising up to/and calling out the violent leftists like Antifa and BLM. The Democrat party simply doesn't want to get caught holding the bag....even though it is their bag. The DNC, the liberal media and violent groups like Antifa, BLM, along with thug leaders such as Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton all work hand in hand to mislead, threaten, and bully the nation. Our last President, Obama, gave them nearly carte-blanche. Anyway, excuse my pessimism. But I don't trust Pelosi.
Could be. However I watched democrats tacitly support them over the last year, and refer to them as peaceful protesters as they pepper sprayed children and knocked people unconscious. Dems did that FOR A YEAR. THE MEDIA PORTRAYED THEM AS PEACEFUL PROTESTERS. They are only changing their tune now because its a political liability.
As long as they were tearing down a left which the Dems believed they could swoop in and gain the non-violent (most of the left) members of back, yes. But the strategy has changed, and wisely so. Polls, as others have pointed out.
It's never been more obvious that the Pubs are a bunch of huff and puff and nothing these days. The Dems are nothing but political whores pandering to every circus freak, illegal immigrant, BLM ranters, and burka wearers that "might" make it to the polls to keep their disgusting asses on the gubt tit. Trump is a breath of fresh air, even if it is an unstable element with a half life of 4 years.
I have had an eye on him since his sparkling youth. I figured once he grew up, he would be in high demand. He was popular back during Bush.
Soupnazi said: Yes his condemnation was softer however. More like tactical criticism. Probably because in the past he has expressed sympathy with at least one of antifa's principles which is suppression of unpopular speech. They are not anarchists. They're communists All of the above and all kinds of other ideologies EXCEPT pacifist/moderate.
No, I don't understand the difference. The KKK and Nazis march down a street, piss off a few people and everyone goes home. You leftists have been violently protesting for decades. You took sides in Charlottesville when any sane person wouldn't. You actually politicized condemning both sides. Nazis hate some people people, so what - liberals hate Trump. Your side literally assaults people they hate, burns down buildings, denies Rights, and you make it sound like the people who only hate are worse than the people who hate, assault, burn, etc.
