“Most members oppose all forms of racism and sexism, and strongly oppose what they see as the nationalist, anti-immigration and anti-Muslim policies”

Oh for gawd’s sakes. Yeah, I’m sure the Antifa anarchists are against quotas and “diversity” politics that discriminate against whites and Asians, and often Jews

GMAB, racism is racism. Sexism is sexism. Antifa doesn’t get the luxury of defining words. In fact, it shouldn’t get the luxury of anything except the barrel of a gun

There’s no doubt Left-wing militants are on the rise. At least they’re out in the open for everyone to see and be horrified by.

Sounds about right. The media is always foaming at the mouth looking for that juicy right-wing/white supremacists story(remember their premature call on the D.C. shooter, etc.)...never put it past them and their demonrat party comrades to make one up.

If wiki leaks/O'Keefe prove anything, it's that staged events are part of their M.O.

If it bleeds it leads...if they can create one for political advantage also, well...it is the the party of hollywood(fake life/fake news)along with script/tactics from Alinsky.

For the first time in 60 years they are no longer controlling the narrative(thanks to the internet), as such they're losing the battle of ideas.

That said...a wounded, diseased rat is still a dangerous rat.

The media will lionize them, and compared them to “The White Rose”.

The Left has a circular definition of racism. Only the white "oppressor" is capable of racism, while non-whites are always the victims of racism. So if a group of black thugs beat an elderly by-stander to death while shouting anti-white slurs, it's an act of social justice, not of racism or hatred.

Can we get a name on the Antifa side?

The Left Media Cartel does not seem very curious about the Antifa group.
They are allowed to protest without a permit.
They are allowed to wear masks in public. A crime in many jurisdictions.
They are allowed to bring weapons to protests.
They are allowed to operate in total anonymity.
The police are told to stand down in response to Antifa violence.
The police funnel protestors right into Antifa’s path to foster the violence.

Gee, it is almost like the Democrats and the Left Media Cartel are actively supporting Antifa and their violence.

The lawsuit in San Jose should uncover some information about Antifa. Lawsuits should be brought in Berkeley, Charlottesville and any other city where this happens.
It is the only way we will get the truth about Antifa.

The Left Media Cartel definitely will not do it.

The Left Media Cartel and the Democrats are actively supporting Antifa and their violence.

Anyone noticed that whenever the so-called Antifa is involved in an event, violence necessarily follows? But let’s blame the right, and the President right?

It is fairly scary. Haven’t seen much of what went down at Charlottesville, but was it primarily ANTIFA doing the violence, and Unite The Right was just defending itself?

I am scared the police will continue to back down and we will look like the Weimar Republic with the ANTIFA/BLM terrorists firmly in control of the country.

Trump needs to stop saying both sides and start saying the socialists and the anarchists are fighting for control of a false narrative
