    Did you not read the NyPost article I linked to? "Proud Boys" aren't the only groups attending. I assume "Daily Stormers" are linked to "The Daily Stormer". You know about The Daily Stormer, right?

    Hmmm... you're right of course.
    Now ... suppose you interviewed some of those white boys [ and it was just white boys mainly -- some Hispanics, no Blacks in the first waves, they drove the trucks later -- and of course the 442nd Regimental Combat team would be following up behind ... but suppose you could talk to those boys crawling through the surf at Omaha Beach, or trying desperately to get off the beach at Sicily ...so they could get down to the grim and dangerous busiess of killing white supremacists, (not defenseless gay Asians, but real men, who could fight back and do it damned well) and ask them what they thought about Black rights, homosexuals, even Jews .. women's rights ... what do you think you'd hear? AntiFa platitudes and virtue signalling? Who do you think they would identify with ... the jobless potheads of AntiFa, or the sort of men in Proud Boys?

    Well, we were literally at war with two fascist countries who were doing their best to kill our guys. Of course they would have supported an anti-fascist organization. What, you think the grunts were PRO-FASCIST??? I'm sure they wouldn't have liked some of the other liberal stuff associated with Antifa, but then we didn't like the Russians a whole lot until we were at war with Germany. From 1941 to 1945, it was all about killing Japanese and fascists. Everything else was secondary.

    I think they would have been proud they stopped Facism in 1944 and would want to do the same in 2019...

    Let's see I happen to be alive when almost everyone I knew was a WWII veteran so yes I do know about the makeup of who were soldiers, the very same people I served with in the army were like those people, yet that has nothing to do with yer wet, wild cream dreams of what makes a man a man and why you think that insanity of war is necessary to be that man..Now you do not know every person in the USA and neither do I yet you claim you do. You do not...

    I was wondering about that. The normal person looks at them with disdain and embarrassment. You may be right.

    Yet the Proud Boys are from Florida but feel the need to travel to Portland to look for a fight.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha no no no no stop it ... stop it .... STOP IT!!!!!
    Time machine sends one ErdSchein back to a landing craft bobbing up and down in the waters off Normandy... tracers are zipping overhead ... everyone is croweded into the boat and trying to bail it out with their helmets as German artillery rounds throw water over the side ..

    An interviewer, let's call him 'ErdSchen' materializes unseen in the back ... pushes his way to a tough Irish Sergeant with two belts of machine-gun ammo draped over his shoulders, tugs at the man's sleeve, and asks ...

    ErdSchein: "Uh ... Sergeant O'Brien .... when this is over ... you wanna come along with... err these guys ..here's a photo .. yes, they're all in Black but they're not the Waffen SS actually... they're called Anti-Fa .. .afterward they beat up those guys over there ... yes, those guys ... they're going to a gay marriage ... and ..."

    Sergeant O'Brien: "A what ... what th' hell's a 'gay marriage'?

    ErdSchein:"Errr ... uh...well you see ... it's when two men who love each other get married and ..."

    Sergeant O'Brien:"What th' hell!!! ... You kiddin' me boy???? Get the HELL OUTA HERE YOU .LITTLE ..XXXXX XXXXX XXX.."

    Dear God .. those Jay Leno interviews with clueless little college weenies really were legit!!!!

    True, but if I had a signed picture of him, it would probably be worth a pretty penny somewhere....

    Yes.... let's bring a Time Machine into a PF.com debate.... good call... that gives you all sorts of credibility..

    But if I explained to the soldiers that Antifa stood for Anti Facist, and they were fighting groups that promoted White Supremacy and Neo-Facism in THEIR United States, I suspect they'd overlook some aspects of what the left generally supports...

    But we'll never know, will we...

    There's a nice big park downtown right by the river. Put a police barricade around the park so no one can enter or escape, and allow both sides to go at it until one side surrenders. Let them settle it.
