    Someone on the internet (it may have been here) had an image of a book cover that read: “Everyone I Disagree With Is A Nazi” (a beginner’s guide to debating politics on the internet).

    Hilarious.

    any one notice a pattern with the post by our liberal forum members on this thread
    they all start out condemning the violence then they all write a "but" then go on to excuse the violence

    To my knowledge few if any conflicts between Leftists and Republicans have ever resulted in serious injuries. These people are mostly young adult men who are looking for an excuse to fight. In the same manner as drunken fans fight at sporting events. The police in Portland intervened and arrested a few of the most aggressive offenders. What I don't appreciate during these kinds of violent outbursts is for students/ antifa, etc to go on a rampage and destroy property like they did in Berkeley when Milo Yiannopoulos appeared on campus.

    Watching people justify the tools of violence and hate being used against people they consider to be using the tools of violence and hate. /shrug

    Nobody cares about antifa except a few thugs in Portand, and the right wing.

    They are just a bunch of thugs. This isn't even a political issue.

    They also have a bunch of nuts like patriot prayer, and the 3% ers marching through the streets with weapons. They know damn well they're baiting the antifa nuts. This has nothing to do with peaceful marches. They are all trying to make trouble. They are all thugs.

    And they are all a bunch of nuts.

    Hmm. I always thought it was funny when Republicans keep trying to relate racism to modern day Democrats because of the Dixiecrats. Who are now Republicans.

    It is important to keep perspective. Violent clashes between Americans occur during unstable periods. Police used water hoses/ dogs on innocent Blacks peacefully demonstrating for human rights in the 1960's. Now we have a criminally behaved president whose very presence triggers intense dislike/ outrage. I've read comments from normally peace-loving people who become uncharacteristically aggressive when dealing with Trump supporters. To associate with Trump in Portland and elsewhere means consequences. Ngo lost his job for promoting hatred against Muslims. That's the cost of being overtly Republican today. Steven Mnuchin, secretary of the treasury, often gets hounded in public when he returns to his home in California. His wife has sort of apologized for being too close to Trump.

    I see reports indicate that there were a "few dozen" right wing racists in comparison to "hundreds" of angry students/ young people. Those antifa kids don't have a police record for being thugs but can't control their outrage. When KKK is anywhere on the West Coast, immediate conflicts break out and the racists have to be rescued by the police and escorted out of town.

    Tell us what the stated purpose of a KKK march is in 2019, and I'll let you know how my head reacts...

    here is a list of the congresses Dixiecrats
    Orval Fabus
    Benjamin Travis Laney
    John Stennis
    James Eastland
    Allen Ellender
    Russell Long
    John Sparkman
    John McClellan
    Richard Russell
    Herman Talmadge
    George Wallace
    Lester Maddox
    John Rarick
    Robert Byrd
    Al Gore, Sr.
    Bull Connor

    here are the only three that switched to republican
    Thurmond
    Helms
    Godwin

    so I will admit I did make a mistake it wasn't two it was three

    so we had 3 out of 16 that switched parties the rest remained democrats
    so that pretty much blows that tired old myth out of the water that the racist democrats switched parties when the vast majority remained democrat including Byrd who was a card carrying KKK grand dragon

    You're missing the point, my friend. Who elects our congressmen? The answer to that question is responsive to your claim.

    the democrats that elected those racist Dixiecrats remained voting democrat they didn't switch parties either because if they did those Dixiecrats that remained in the democrat party wouldn't have been reelected

    so you need to explain how did those 13 Dixiecrats that stayed democrat keep getting reelected on the democrat ticket?

    proof again it is a myth that the racist democrats switched parties a myth created by the left to cover for democrats being racist trying to off load their racism onto the republicans

    No, they did not. Read the History article that I cited to.

    good luck trying to convince rational people that absurdity

    So what you’re saying is that the hate among liberals is so strong they can’t control their savagery, right?

    Lol...Indeed. They just sentenced the goose-stepping nazi racist who murdered the woman during the Charlottesville protests with his car to life in prison.

    It like a "hot potato". Republicans want to throw it back to Dixiecrats but Dixiecrats don't exist anymore. So what's the argument? Stop ignoring the reality of Nixon's "southern strategy". The racism ball is in your corner, either destroy it or it will destroy you in elections.
