    I may be all wet. But I have always thought when 30 or 40 or more of these idiots come to march and protest, why not just let them and pay no attention. Let them walk where ever, give a speech or two and go home. We do have the first amendment.

    Why the counter protest when ignoring them would be the worst thing that probably could happen. Why come in to protest the protest looking to agitate? What exactly were those white supremacist looking for or wanting? Coverage, national news coverage, attention. Probably even clashes against the counter protesters. A look, see we were peaceful and obeyed the law, it was the counter protesters that caused all the violence attitude.

    I don't think 30 or 40 folks out of 320 million represent America or its ideals. I don't know, am I all wet?

    I can see your point of view.

    You should realize, however, that Trump deliberately and willfully did not condemn the far right violence, for it's not in his interest.
    His only interest is in dividing the nation, violently if necessary, to increase his chances of re-election. (If he makes it that far.)
    If that means people fight each other in the street and thousands die in major civil unrest, Trump will be laughing all the way to the bank. The bank that holds the votes for his second term.

    Or so he believes.

    Trumps ''customers'' for his re-election are the poor ones, the jobless and homeless ones, the desperate cases who turn to him because they see no future in democracy.
    Despair breeds anger, hatred and violence. It can turn good people to bad causes and ultimately to Fascism, as history has shown. Thus the Neo-Nazi's in Virginia are explained.

    So, if Trump is not condemning Fascism (and any associated violence) it's because he needs it. He needs all of America to embrace it.

    His insidious evil knows no end.

    Because one side is spewing hatred and the other side is denouncing it...........no comparison.

    Of course this would all be over and no one would have died if the left didn't try illegally to shut down the free speech of a legal march.

    Some people here forget Trump is President of all Americans, not just the PC snowflakes. Unlike Obama who jumped to conclusions and took sides.

    Your nazis and white supremacists mincing around did not merit being regaled with bodily fluids and beverage containers.

    It would have been far better to allow them to play with one another without interference or adult supervision.

    Instead, we now have decent, patriotic Americans, including GOP politicians, disgusted by wimpy Trump's impotence in criticizing those who proclaim him their "Glorious Leader" having to assume the moral responsibility of doing so:

    Paul Ryan
    ✔@SpeakerRyan

    The views fueling the spectacle in Charlottesville are repugnant. Let it only serve to unite Americans against this kind of vile bigotry.

    Paul Ryan
    ✔@SpeakerRyan

    Our hearts are with today's victims. White supremacy is a scourge. This hate and its terrorism must be confronted and defeated.

    John McCain: "White supremacists and neo-Nazis are, by definition, opposed to American patriotism" http://abcn.ws/2vQbZbA #Charlottesville

    Marco Rubio: @POTUS
    ✔@marcorubio
    Very important for the nation to hear @POTUS describe events in #Charlottesville for what they are: a terrorist attack by #white supremacists

    Ted Cruz
    ✔@tedcruz

    It's tragic and heartbreaking to see hatred and racism once again mar our great Nation with bloodshed

    Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, had called upon the Justice Department to launch a probe. "Having watched the horrifying video of the car deliberately crashing into a crowd of protesters, I urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act of domestic terrorism," Cruz said in a statement.

    Sessions condemned the violence.“When such actions arise from racial bigotry and hatred, they betray our core values and cannot be tolerated,” the attorney general said. “U.S. Attorney Rick Mountcastle has commenced a federal investigation and will have the full support of the Department of Justice. Justice will prevail.”

    This has been going on for a long, long time,” he said, referring to the violent protests. “It has no place in America.

    So you are wrong yet again.

    Not erasing it, just no longer celebrating it with public symbolism.

    It is a public symbol on public property..........the point is public property. Citizen are allowed to privately celebrate it but not have it imposed on all citizens.

    Your parroting your memes issued to you by your hate radio masters eludes reality: I clearly defended the right of your neo-nazis and white supremicists to play with one another without interference or adult supervision.
