We need to take down George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues next!

[Althea]

Al Sharpton said on Charlie Rose last week the Jefferson Memorial should not be funded by the public, is insulting to his family and should be in a museum.

Is Sharpton a fringe person to you?

Not only fringe, but an asshole to boot.

No, communists are the enemies of all mankind.

ANTIFA

Fighting Nazis is a good thing, but fighting Nazis doesn’t necessarily make you or your cause good. By my lights this is simply an obvious fact.

The greatest Nazi-killer of the 20th century was Josef Stalin. He also killed millions of his own people and terrorized, oppressed, enslaved or brutalized tens of millions more. The fact that he killed Nazis during World War II (out of self-preservation, not principle) doesn’t dilute his evil one bit.

This should settle the issue as far as I’m concerned. Nazism was evil. Communism was evil. It’s fine to believe that Nazism was more evil than communism. That doesn’t make communism good.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, this seemingly ancient history is relevant today because of the depressingly idiotic argument about whether it’s OK to equate “antifa” — antifascist left-wing radicals — with the neo-Nazi and white supremacist rabble that recently descended on Charlottesville.

The antifa goons and thugs oppose free speech, celebrate violence, despise dissent and have little use for anything else in America. Liberals, particularly in the media, are victims of the same kind of confusion that vexed so much of American liberalism in the 20th century. Because antifa suddenly has the right enemies, they must be the good guys.

They’re not.

And that’s why this debate is so toxically stupid. Since when is being less bad than the Klan a moral accomplishment?

In these tribal times, the impulse to support anyone who shares your enemies is powerful. But it is a morally stunted reflex. This is America. You’re free to denounce totalitarians wherever you find them, even if they might hate the right people.

So you are saying anyone who opposes Nazis, white supremacists, and the KKK are automatically this ANTIFA?

Sure it is, your implying that anyone who supports opposition to those mentioned groups has to be a backer of this Antifa, which is what, about five or six hundred dimwits who dress in black?

Stereotyping has always a standard of the right

Why are you so obsessed with statues? Some dimwit does something to some obscure statue somewhere and you lose sleep

Then again, if I had to defend or even rationalize this President and his Administration I probably too would be eager to deflect with anything possible, guess your statue obsession has replaced your Hillary phobia

[zappasguitar]

Y'all are the one's who stand up for her and support her. You don't see me backing TDAK or CFM.

Show me where I've stood up for desh.

I'll wait...

It is going to be fun watching libtards try to put this Antifa genie back in the bottle
