Is Antfia there protesting that the alt right group is protesting about the Jews?
What does the alt right mean about not being replaced?
Except this wasn't an "alt-right" protest. You do display the precise problem with groups like antifa, you see anyone who isn't in lockstep with you as the ultimate expression of the enemy. For you conservative or pro-Trump equals white supremacist or nazi.
Quote:Too bad Germany didn't have some Antia groups back then in the thirties to combat the Nazi's message of love. Maybe 6 million Jews wouldn't of been slaughtered.
You might want to crack a book or two and read about the street fighting between the SA and the communists during the Weimar Republic. It wasn't isolated, sporadic or uncommon.

These sort of subtle distinctions are beyond the comprehension of many. The same people who derided the foaming at the mouth paranoid anti-Obama types have themselevs turned into foaming at the mouth anti-Trump people. Ironic isn't it?
Quote:The Nazi-Antifa equation from the right isn't a rightful argument to me either. But defending violent behaviour in the light of a protest isn't rightful as well. When Antifa members incite violence and beat people up, one should still distance himself from that, or else the behaviour isn't much better than Trump's.
Trump is hardly an eloquent man, but this is, essentially, what he was trying to say with the "both sides" argument. Of course he made his point in a ham fisted way at the absolutely worst time. The media has been been underplaying left wing violence for some time, well over a year. If you're a more conservative person and you see months worth of violent attacks on peaceful protesters by violent radical-left thugs with little mention in the main stream media and then watch the reaction to the Cville incident you'd be hard pressed not to decry the unfairness of the media coverage. As culpable as Trump is for creating an atmosphere in which white supremacists feel emboldened, the Dems and the media have done the exact same for antifa. You don't even have to be right wing to watch Chuck Todd's fluff piece on the organization to come to this conclusion. Yet another wedge to drive people apart. Thanks agendas!
