Racist Right wing rally near White House dwarfed by thousands of anti-hate protesters

[Fentoine Lum]

That's a valid topic, but doesn't address the topic I was referring to. My reference was to a fringe and out-of-favor group being allowed to express themselves over the objections of the Majority.

Nazis whining about having a safe space leave me unmoved.

They were aloud a rally, but the counter protestors are free to use public places to do the same. As far as this toddler whining stuff, about services not giving Alex Jones a voice, that's just stupid ignorance. If freedom of speech forced companies to give a person airtime, you'd create an internet trolls wet dream. I don't think we need to give that Legion guy airtime, because he'd probably just do something stupid like the birds, and bees stuff I mentioned in my other post.

"They were aloud a rally, but the counter protestors are free to use public places to do the same."

That's always a good excuse to make sure the 'out-of-favor' group is silenced.

Yes ... that's kind of my point. The 'out-of-favor' group gets smothered by the Majority group. You could have replaced 'Nazi' with 'Muslim', 'Hispanic', 'Women', 'LGBT', etc.
It's a 'Mob Rule' mentality.
Also, I notice the Majority begin to speak for the 'out-of-favor' group by telling people what the 'out-of-favor' group WOULD have said, if they had been allowed to speak.

Please understand, I'm not rooting for the 'White Nationalists', I'm rooting for the concept of 'Free Speech'.

Oh I get that, and speech is one thing, violence another. Let 'em prattle on with their shit as long as it stops there. If it moves into govt policy? Sorry, not down with that as the kids say.

Of course what these twits are after, is the suppression of others.

White racist right wing supremacists held a rally in Washington on Sunday, and almost no one but their opponents and the police showed up.

But but but, if all Republicans are racists, why weren't there more of them there?

That comment is ignorant as hell. Someone is forgetting the idea of public land, and a free country. You can't stop people from coming to a public display, and getting involved. That's why they had the police guard to stop it from getting ugly.

Who said all republicans are racist? All white supremacists are racist. Comments like yours are just a bunch of hot air.

Stick around a bit. Peruse a few other threads on this board. That is a daily mantra here.

I'll ask again. Would you support a large group of people shutting down a Black Nationalist Rally? Or would it be different?

Most Democrats.

If it were Black Nationalists instead of White Nationalists, would you feel the same way?

More “if/would” bullshit. They weren’t Black Nationalists, were they?

Because they're pussies, too.

Not true of all, don't you know better than that?

[Fentoine Lum]

Most Democrats.

That's puss pard, way too much to ever be taken seriously, turn off the tv.
