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.”

They are literally endorsing Antifa violence.
Yep.
That sounds pretty accurate.
One thing they certainly are not is conservative in any way, shape or form.

It makes sense they could be blackmailed. Another plausible explanation is they were not solid conservatives ever.
McIsane stood with the ISIS crowd so him falling in with Antifa and BLM is not a surprise at all.
The Republican Party in Washington doesn’t stand for anything so they fall for everything the liberal/communists throw out there. If the left suddenly declared everyone had to become a pedophile the GOP in Washington would break their necks to get to a camera and declare they are totally for this despicable and evil act.
Exactly what I saw and heard from them.
Some libs on CNN and MSNBC went further calling out Antifa by NAME as heroes.
This is why I think Trump should have called out a specific example of evil on each side of the fight, specifically antifa on the left and those torch marchers who they were fighting.
I posted this on the same subject Tuesday, see my comment #1.
Didn’t realize what Rubio said. It is actually worse than Mitt, as he is actually suggesting violence against those whose opinions are odious is justified. Are these statements really coming from serious Presidential contenders? Are they drinking the Kool-Aid? What the hell.
Right. Ultimately he is talking about a group of nut bars that simply came to peacefully protests. But is saying since they are nut bars, you are in your rights to beat them. This guy is a radical.
If the left turned to God, it would no longer be the left.
As for white advantage, for the last 50 or 60 years blacks have been handed all the advantages, and it only increases their complaints. There was a brilliant piece about how subsidies hurt the ones receiving them that was posted quite some time ago at the Foundation for Economic Education website.
You can expand that to point out that there were people on the other side who were violent as well, but you have to take care not to be thought soft on Nazis and people who drive cars into crowds.
Anybody who marches in public chanting "Jews will not replace us" is a wackadoodle in my book. (Or worse.)
Jews are, depending on how you count (religion vs. ethnicity) between 1.5-3% of the U.S. population. Who are we supposed to "replace"? And how?
“....all a bunch of retards. The good people were at work or home with their kids.” - President Impy
It would not be the right as we know it either. It would be one aspect of a gloriously upward bound center.
The big secret is that yes God cares about the bruised and wounded, but for His own sake, not the self centered sakes of fallen men.
Exactly
As I posted before
“Some good people on both sides” ?? WTF ????
“Some BAD people on both sides” , definitely, and easy to explain.
Romney u need to hide under a rock since u r even afraid of ur own shadow. I can not believe that I voted 4 ur posterior!!! Romney——U my friend r a piece of work!!!
I forgot to add that Rubio, McPain in the neck, Lindsay are all pieces of work!!!!
In my head’s version of ‘national identity’ Jews are as welcome as anyone else. I was as angry as anybody seeing that. But trust the MSM to show just that few seconds clip and ignore the rest of the people who were saying ‘you’ (which I think was a direct response to the minorities who brag europeans are a dying race because we’re not having enough children). (although I wonder if that Vice clip was from May and not August)
I’m going to guess here, but I think the resentment of Jews thing goes all the way back to the Moor invasion of Europe where the Jews worked with the Muslims to repress the natives. Their cultures were similar and moors gave Jews special privileges (store owners/moneychangers/professional occupations) the natives weren’t allowed, which bred a lot of generational resentment and mental coupling of the atrocities of the Moors with the Jews themselves. All that pretty much ended when Isabella and the Catholic Church kicked the Muslims out in 1492 and ‘accomplice’ Jews were chased out of former muslim occupied lands. (England and a few other nations welcomed Jews but they remained shunned most places.)
That was 600 years ago and completely irrevelant to today, but the propaganda that Jews would again cooperate with muslims to repress others is used by some hatemonger groups to keep the fear burning, and the unwashed gullible are stupid enough to swallow it hook line and sinker. I sometimes wonder if the Jewish community came out enmasse with a political blanket apology for 600 years of participating in European repression, it might diffuse the propaganda for good, but it was so long ago, I’m not sure if it would really do any good or just inflame things more. And America apologizing for slavery didn’t do much good, either - there are some unwashed who also buy the propaganda that given the chance, whites would throw minorities into chains.
Nazis waanbees are dreadful people, so is the KKK and Antifa ... There are NO winners in these three groups.
I think those were mostly fake Nazis. Hillary worked with real Nazis in Ukraine. The driver looks like he is guilty of some kind of homicide, but he has a history of mental problems.
The videos of white supremacists marching with torches chanting “JEWS will not take our jobs” is absolutely clearly evil that I will never defend.
There is no rational for any of us defending them .
The libs Antifa/BLM riot activities exposed should be difficult or impossible for them to defend if the argument given is made skillfully.
Go after them.
