An alt-right event in Charlottesville, Virginia set for August 12th is drawing attention from political activists on both sides of the aisle. The Unite the Right Free Speech Rally is in response to the Antifa mobs cracking down on Americans’ First Amendment rights at the peaceful demonstration in support of a Robert E. Lee Monument on May 13.

From the Facebook event’s page: “This is an event which seeks to unify the right-wing against a totalitarian Communist crackdown, to speak out against displacement level immigration policies in the United States and Europe and to affirm the right of Southerners and white people to organize for their interests just like any other group is able to do, free of persecution.”

Members of the Nationalist Socialist Movement, League of the South, Identity Evropa, and many other right-wing groups will gather at Emancipation Park in Charlottesville for this rally, sure to be met with anti-protesters attempting to deny the right to free speech and assembly.

"Members of the Nationalist Socialist Movement, League of the South, Identity Evropa, and many other right-wing groups."

When you are a left wing reporter anyone you don’t like is by definition “right wing”.

Antifa “cracking down” on First Amendment rights?
Like they have any authority to do so?

How about “Violent Antifa thugs attacking anyone who dares speak out?”

Right on. It's groups like PETA and Code Pink who come out of nowhere and start demanding this and demanding that.
Ignore them, cut their government funding and pffffft, they'll disappear.

“be sure to bring your GUNS!!!!”

No! You would be falling right into their hands and quite possibly go directly to jail.

The left doesn’t want free speech. Their philosophy can’t stand up to a free exchange of ideas. All of this garbage about hate speech is just an assault on our first amendment rights.

Why does IBW fall into the trap of using the term “alt-right”. There is just the “right”
