Hypocrisy at Charlottesville
American Spectator ^ | Aug, 15, 2017 | Abraham H. Miller

Posted on 08/15/2017 3:50:37 PM PDT by Twotone

The brutal events in Charlottesville not only reveal a national tragedy but also a national hypocrisy.

We do not have to agree with what the Nazis and white nationalists stand for to defend their constitutional right to assemble and speak. The courts have long ruled that even hate speech is protected speech.

Had there been no counter demonstration and media spotlight, a few hundred racists would have gathered in Charlottesville and had no impact on the national conversation.

Instead, they were met by the ongoing violence of the Antifa and the hate group Black Lives Matter and a police force that stood down, just as the campus police did when the Antifa attacked people at the University of California, Berkeley.

Don’t you worry. Whatever happened in C’Ville is irrelevant. Timpangos and Sargon and me are getting together all the freepers, good Constitutional Conservatives (who are all Christian, by the way) and the next time these Antifa thugs try to rear their ugly heads we are gonna be there with the freeper army and give them the beat down they been looking for. And we are making it clear, there are so many of us that we don’t need or want any help from any White Nationalists or them stupid militia groups (who are half FBI anyway). We don’t need any help from any of “those kind” cause there are so many Hispanic and Black Constitutional Conservatives that have just been waiting for us to get off our asses and lead them into the fray our numbers will surely swell by millions. Hell, I bet we can get so many Japanese Constitutional COnservatives to join us we can have a Bansai charge bigger than any since WWII. You know, “The Big One.”
Those Antigua thugs better look out because the freeper army is about to get out of our Barcaloungers and shake the damn world. Today the remote, tomorrow the whole damn world!

Relax. Timpangos and Sargon and me, we got this. We are getting together with all the freepers the next time that these Antifa thugs try to appear in public we are gonna put them down like rabid dogs. Y’all be sure to meet up with us. We should be easy to find because I expect there are gonna be 20,000 or so of us. And we can be sure there won’t be any damn Nazi scum or White Nationalists in the crowd. Nope, it is gonna be “All Freeper, All the time” and there are so many of us that are so pissed off we are gonna absolutely get out of our Barcaloungers and do this. Plus I hear there are literally millions of Black and Hispanic Conservative Constitutionlists who are ready to join us in the streets that it is just gonna be the biggest damn BTFO beat down the world has ever seen. We’ll show them we ain’t racist. Bring your friends but make sure they ain’t dope smoking libertarians. Oh, and make sure none of the black COnstitutional Conservatives ain’t never been on welfare because the BSM might find out and call us hypocrites and we ain’t gonna be having any of that.

Where was the car crash in relation to everything else in that graphic? I heard it was quite far from there and I’m not so sure it was related to the rally at all. The press is trying to tie it all together.

The car crash happened 2 hours after the alt-right was pushed out of the square an dispersed, when Antifa and BLM were holding an unpermitted parade, unmolested by police.
