That you people continue to defend the white supremacists as being on equal footing with those who stand against them, sorry to say, is kind of telling.
In America, everyone is on equal footing, JimL. Even people you don't like. I don't like racism or the KKK or the Antifa or the BLM or Black Panthers or the Nazis or the Westboro Baptists, or Hillary Clinton, but I support their right to free speech. They can spout their nonsense all they want as long as they are not violent. Allowing free speech does not equal agreeing or supporting their cause.
If you try to silence someone you don't agree with, then one day someone will silence you because they don't agree with your views.

Originally posted by JimL View PostAnd counter protesters have just as much of a right to free speech and assembly as the hate groups do. If a hate group has a rally scheduled in Boston and 40,000 protesters show up to shout down their hate speech, thats called free speech as well.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, what it means to me is that you are supporting the free speech of the KKK and the Nazi's, while denying the same to the counter protesters. You have no idea who is responsible for starting any of the violent incidents that took place, but somehow you have no problem placing the blame for the violence on the counter protesters.
Try to pay attention.

We have been defending Free Speech, period. We have said multiple times that free speech means having to tolerate speech that you don't agree with.

I support the right to free speech of anyone who will loudly condemn Nazis (including, but not limited to: actual Nazis, conservatives, Sparko, etc.). Anyone who disagrees with this is obviously a Nazi and deserves to get punched in the face for inciting to violence.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.
