Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney argued violent leftists were morally righteous. “No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes,” Romney tweeted Tuesday night.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio took a similar tone in assigning “100% to blame” for the Charlottesville violence on white supremacists — which amounts to a total exculpation of antifa. Rubio also tweeted out a poorly-worded statement that may have explicitly endorsed left-wing violence: “When entire movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you,it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them,” the senator stated in his ill-formed tweet.
Arizona Sen. John McCain — who fought and was tortured by communists in Vietnam — claimed that violent leftists are great Americans fighting against hate. “There’s no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate& bigotry. The President of the United States should say so,” McCain tweeted
Before Trump’s Tuesday comments, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie claimed during a Monday radio interview that “those who incite violence are committing an even more serious offense” than those who actually commit violence. He added that these alleged propagators of hate need to be “arrested and prosecuted and put behind bars.”

Oh we should most certainly divide. /s
Everybody has a point. Did Unite The Right go out there to proclaim “We love everybody and so does God?”
And oddly enough it was about keeping a statue of a general who could have fairly been said to embrace the leftist view of his era, including the idea that some men were so little they ought best to be enslaved!
Someone’s confused and I’m not sure I am the worst case of it here.
Actually I’d agree that in some cases the right embraces the left and comes away with the vices of the left.
Keeping General Lee’s statue on government grounds might actually be an example of it. Just because something is traditional doesn’t mean it wasn’t a tradition of rottenness.
So maybe we have pots in Congress calling a kettle black.
There is another kind of embrace, however, and that’s a godly embrace. That will overcome the hate. I pray for it to appear and to do so more and more. I’d want official Civil War memorials to remember both North and South. Don’t take down Lee; add Grant, and use the whole scene as a cautionary tale about trying to do a supposedly right thing the supremely wrong way.
I’m not taking attention away from anything. You changed the subject to The Almighty. Who, btw, was not mentioned in the ‘objective’ statement, which I do not see as ‘objective’ in the least. And I have clearly explained why. But thanks, anyway, FRiend.
If someone objects to “changing the subject to the Almighty” he has exposed more about his soul than he thinks!
And I am talking about taking an objective look at the statement.
Is it true?
In the terms stated, it’s a true sauce for both many geese and many ganders.
I’ve been calling Antifa the alt left on reddit since Trump coined it. It’s pretty effective especially when you don’t try to define it. When they ask me what it means I give them one those old you might be a redneck saysing but with stuff antifa does instead. Really pisses them off.
The term alt-left is close enough to the term alt-right that it hurts them personally. By implying they’re stupid rednecks(with antifa stuff subbed in) it really screw with their minds.
Trump “talks” about grabbing Pussy and Clinton sodomizes one with a Cigar. Moral equivalency at its finest.
The Twitting Troup of Twits.
Time to build a new conservative party, one with balls the size of Texas, not the peanuts of today’s GOP.
What is the hurry to prove they disapprove fascists? This is like Fallon trying to prove he is not a fascist by demanding Trump
does something to prove he is not fascist... like what? Shoot ourselves?
Truly the pimp liberalism is despicable. I wonder if McCain organized the white supremacists like he encouraged LaRaza racists so as to set up Trump supporters. It is like they were ready at the right side of the football field before the game even was announced to anyone.
DJT has toppled the GOP as if it were a confederate monument. The Rs have sealed their fate and they are fine with what will be the outcome. Globalism before nation for this bunch, and brother how we’ve been duped.
Hey Pastor, I’m not interested in your religion, keep it to yourself.
Sorry, if the people of God will not praise, the stones will cry out.
You’ll have to force a ban on me. Rotsa ruck, though. The “force” is increasingly against you.
Unless the might is subjected to God, it will be but in vain.
And you amuse me as a soi-disant American. Not the kind of American that the founders hoped for, at least. A post-Christian American, perhaps that is quite in evidence.
No, one side is racist, bigoted, national socialist, antiwar, hates Jews, supports Palestine, gets along with black nationalists, and opposes the Republican Party.
The other is racist, bigoted, international socialist, antiwar [unless they're managing it], hates religious Jews, hates Christians, hates masculinity, hates any black that's not on their reservation, supports Palestine, hates freedom of speech, destroys private and public property, supports slaughtering babies, and opposes the Republican Party.
They’re all pissing in their pants. The thugs they are defending aren’t going to vote for them. The people they are attacking aren’t going to vote for them either. The Party is over boys. Go President Trump.
I happen to know a couple of youngsters who went since I’m an oldfag member of the Europa group. Fine young men. Not prone to drinking, doing opiates, banging everything in site. They despise boomer degeneracy (I’m GenX). I see nationalists. I see America First kids. I don’t see hate mongers. I see respimles kids. They ask questions about the narrative.
These are kids who are big, strong and take no shit. I’m a badass and I wouldn’t F with them. Staying fit, learning their weapons, learning about survival in the worst of conditions. It’s like a more vulgar roided up not scout. Polite but don’t cross them. I wish I had that self control at 23.
who said I objected?
You changed the subject, I addressed that change in subject and related it back to my original argument opposed to LId’l’s statement.
Now you’re changing the subject again to moral judgements. Slow day fishing?
I always point to the most important thing in every picture.
Are you a ditz, complaining about “changing the subject” as though you were the boss of every situation?
blah blah blah
You’re just looking for a sparring partner tonite and I won’t respond to your triggering. Nice try, tho, invoking The Almighty and souls and all. Kind of a séance -ie touch going on there - creative.
