Trump’s horrifying ‘take three’ on Charlottesville (#NeverTrump Alert)
NY Post ^ | August 15, 2017 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 08/15/2017 11:29:34 PM PDT by Oshkalaboomboom

On Tuesday afternoon we learned yet again that the president of the United States is against neo-Nazis, which is nice. They’re “very rough,” he said at an impromptu Trump Tower press conference — by which he likely meant some of the people he saw on TV in Charlottesville this past Saturday had beards and leather jackets and swastika tattoos and were overweight.

The night before, by contrast, Trump said there had been some “very good people” rallying with “a permit” by a statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville. Maybe he thought so because the photographs we all saw showed clean-cut young men in Polo shirts and Dockers.

The rest of us also saw them engaging in Nazi salutes and carrying torches.

Those images seem to have eluded the president.

The president suggested many had been there on Friday night because they cared deeply about the fact that a Robert E. Lee statue in a Charlottesville park is due to be moved.

Trump did not note that they were not locals with aesthetic concerns but rather had been summoned from all over the country under the slogan of “Unite the Right.”

The ad promoting the “Unite the Right” rally, which ran on far-right websites all week, did not even mention the statue. It was designed to evoke a Fascist poster with birds similar to the Nazi eagle in the sky over the marchers and Confederate flags taking the place of swastikas.

It invited people to join speakers like Mike Enoch, who hosts a podcast called “The Daily Shoah.” And Augustus Invictus, an alt-right figure who once said, “I have prophesied for years that I was born for a Great War; that if I did not witness the coming of the Second American Civil War I would begin it myself.”

After every terrorist attack, Herr Obama would look in the cameras and denounce extremism on ALL SIDES....President Trump did the same. This is a dead horse, it’s over, move on to the next pretend outrage.

The most brilliant thing about this is that President Trump have no put the Media in the position of DEFENDING Atni-Fa scumbags.
Charlottesville was basically a replay of the Eastern Theatre in WW2: Groups of Nazis vs Groups of Commies with innocent people scattered about.

The left is beyond insane. They believe all the MSM lies.

And why not? Obama looked at them and lied to their faces, virtually every day for 8 straight years. Plus the campaign.

And they ate it up. With a spoon. I have spent decades studying Bible Prophecy, expecting the rise of the Antichrist and the antichrist spirit.

Still, nothing prepared me for watching such a liar standing on the world stage and people running around talking about hos he was the greatest thing ever. They wore dresses with his face on it before he ever took office. PEPSI changed their logo for him(!). This man is definitely from the Devil in some form or another. His baby-killing / homosexual / so-called transgender agendas are clear evidence of that. He lies without breaking a sweat.

Still, I expected the population would reject him, on a majority basis. i was wrong; very wrong. Which leads me to think we are closer to the end of the Church Age than we may have surmised.

This meme the Left and MSM are pushing is misleading and wrong. I do not believe that every person who was at Charlottesville engaging in protest against the removal of the Confederate Monuments was a Neo Nazi, White Nationalist, etc.. Yes there were some people there that should not have been but was everyone there some sort of extremist? I am not sure that such a broad brush should have been used to paint all there as racist.

You're just arrogant fluff then. As if you know every single member of the party and what they believe.

Pfffft.

It’s perfectly obvious, to anyone that isn’t an idiot, which clearly excludes you, that they don’t mean one damned thing they say, which makes them all liars.

Go ahead and keep defending the people that have bottled up the conservative agenda for the past 50+ years and ensured that not a single item of it advances, and I will keep on laughing at you.

Stop watching their kabuki theater. It isn’t real.

There are two parties in this country, Us and Them. Hint: you are not part of Them.

Wake up.

Well, one thing is becoming more clear, but I don't think it's what you wanted.

I didn't defend anyone. I pointed out your absurd over-generalizations.

...

Wake up.

Try less hyperbole and arm-waving and be more specific. Nobody pays much attention when you just rant.

Right then. Back to your fist-shaking and raving about how everyone, whether you know them or not, is a liar.
