Shove the troll boy crap. Just stating a simple fact the Stormfront was promoting this. They had reports from their members who were there in town before it all went up. They had an integral part in this event. Of course, it makes a whole lot more sense to let one’s imagination run wild and cook up grand conspiracies. Well, I don’t have the special illumination required for that. What I see is what happens when Nazi thugs and Communist thugs are not kept apart in a heated situation. Remember Greensboro, NC in 1979?
I am open to there being more to the story, however. The authorities in Virginia seemed to have mismanaged the situation on purpose, to make political hay. And the simple southern conservativeS who simply wanted to protest the removal of the statue of General Lee got badly played by the Stormfronters. Hopefully they learned a lesson from that, as will conservatives in other parts of the country, so they won’t be victims of Nazi parasites seeking legitimacy for their cause.
I saw CNN's coverage early yesterday, they were getting ready to have orgasms on the air as they repeatedly showed the *same* scuffle between a group of people playing tug of war with a flag for over half an hour (yes, that long, I was watching the TV while on a treadmill at the gym).
That being said, the Nazi meme is a good example of Orwell's principle of Newspeak from 1984: if you control the language, you control the discourse. Hitler killed his six million, Stalin maybe 20 and Mao over 40.
But if you want to insult someone you call them a Nazi.
That's because
a) we were allies with the Soviets during World War 2
b) The Holocaust (which doesn't excuse the Holodomor or the NY Slimes airbrushing of it)
c) as Ann Coulter pointed out in Treason, the mass infestation of Communists into most of the driving institutions of the US.
