Trump goes full Alt-Right and voids everything he said yesterday

A female reporter of The Hill in Charlottesville was punched in the face by a counter-protestor who didn't like her filming there: https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/896442225600671744

Are people seriously saying that that should not be condemned because the man who punched her was "on the right side"?

Um, no. Not anyone at all I've heard of at least.

They're coming after Teddy Roosevelt now. Damn right, keep those statues up. Don't let our culture die out, bring up the birth rate.

Ummmm

Wow. I have to appreciate when someone doesn't hide behind double-talk and allows out and out $hitbag racism to come out of their mouths. Kudos to being an unapologetic Naz......

OOOPS!  I mean "Fascist with views extremely reminiscent of a mid-20th Century German far right wing racist party". Sorry. Merely expanding on the need to expand the white population to avoid the "culture" of lesser races isn't sufficient to call someone a Nazi anymore on Atlas. They HAVE to be a full-fledged card-carrying member of the National Socialist Party for that. Or else it's a "personal attack".

Because a majority of the current mods are f#$king idiots.

Watching the lefties here do this is hilarious

If you think only "Lefties" should be pissed off at this disgusting display, you're genuinely lost.

Can you just once rise above "Trump triggers libs so I like him, hur hur" juvenalia and actually try explaining how this is anything less than $hitastic?

Seriously man. What is wrong with you?

Well, this will all be over soon if impeachment comes.

Actually, part of me is hoping for it now.  Everything just makes it worse.  Some stuff he said was right, but he should've risen above Obama's idiotic agenda and just condemned white supremacy immediately.  He should've done what Obama didn't when there was a terrorist attack.

Lol.
You are still doing that bullsh**t false equivalence. Honestly you are just as bad as Naso and Krazen.

I don't feel like it is. Both should have been condemned right away. That's how it works. Both failed.
Why am I not allowed to talk about a Democrat's failure?

Did Obama say that there were "good people on both sides" in this "terrorist attack" you are talking about ?
Ok then !
Once again Saint, you cant compare the two.

Read my f***ing post. Did I say BOTH SIDES DO IT bdhjsqdbhqwbdhjqadbhjdjqh
No. I was specifically talking about naming the enemy, not the good people thing.  That was a horrible thing to say.

Oh my !
When Saint (the spiritual guy) starts cursing, he is really pissed.
But I think his internal outrage is actually due to trump, yet I (we) are taking the brunt of it.
It's OK. I'll accept it. But I'm glad he is really "starting to see the light" regarding the Orange-Haired Clown.

Amen!

Please Saint. There IS a better way. Come into the light. Reject this clown from the party and move on.

This is bullsh**t.

Obama called it terrorism. He just didn't say radical islamic terrorism because he didn't want to play into ISIS hands in terms of propaganda.

Also, Obama never did this whataboutitism that Trump is doing.

Like I said you are just as bad as Krazen and Naso but for different reasons. You know that Trump is disgrace, so instead of owning up to it, you try to deflect.

It is cowardly, at least guys like Naso and Krazen have the balls to be open about their hackery.

1) The kid is publicly calling for impeachment and you're still not satisfied? Give him a break, geez.

2) The bolded passage is seriously misguided. There is but a fine line between the kind of "GOP hackery" going on these days and bloodlust. You can't clump in right-wingers who ultimately want things to deescalate in with those other kinds of people.

Excellent post. Saint does not remotely deserve to be lumped in with naso or Kragen. Or even classic conservative for that matter

Ouch.

Perhaps one of the only Republican statements on the matter with any real substance beyond platitudes.

Agree.
This one was also somewhat direct towards the president ...

There were a handful. Unfortunately the cynic in me notices that the the level of the condemnation of President Trump by name, or clear implication in Justin a mashes case, is directly tied to how much of a swing District or state the poster is in.

This is one of the more stupid false equivalences I've seen (and there have been a bunch of them lately.)  Washingon and Jefferson were crucial in the founding of this country; the Confederates tried to tear it apart.  These monuments never should have been erected in the first place; even Lee was against the idea of Confederate monuments.  Study their history, sure, but that can be done quite well with books and museums.  Don't celebrate traitors to the country with monuments.

Exactly

X 100. Stupidest whataboutery of the year.
