I hope the Washington Post will either confirm or debunk these statements by the Southern Poverty Law Center about Jason Kessler, the organizer of the alt-right rally in Charlottesville

Jason Kessler is the organizer of the alt-right rally that recently took place in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote of Kessler:

Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the Occupy movement and past support for President Obama.

At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city, Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy. Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of their past association.

Regardless of Kessler’s past politics, the rightward shift in his views was first put on display in November, 2016 when his tirade against Wes Bellamy began.

If this had been posted by some right wing conspiracy blog, I would dismiss it as being fake news.

But this was published by a highly reputable left wing source.

I hope the Washington Post will investigate this to either debunk it or confirm it.

If it is true, then Kessler is a left wing nut job masquerading as a right wing nut job.

Websites or news outlets that are right of center are NOT ‘Alt-Right’. That term is a term of derision. Nothing in the law or in social norms requires you to use it.

Conservative news outlets are characterized more accurately as ‘principled news’ adhering to common sense, truth, and logic.

I think your point was meaning to say that the leftist media which is mostly corporate media, would pay no attention to a news report concerning Kessler if it were reported by principled news. Therefore, such a report coming from a favorite leftist advocacy group would not be as easy to ignore.

Sounds like the now fading fake Russian set up scheme by Brennon\Hillery. The dishonest devious left are using paid infiltrators/straw men to create false flag events and then scream righteous indignation. Right on cue the useful idiots in both parties and the media become echo chambers for these phony con jobs. The seemingly endless, Fascist/Maoist events in this country have become ever more commonplace and the method of choice for the left to advance their political agenda.

if there is a trail to George Soros Trump should publicly have him arrested .

If he did this there would be no way the media could ignore his involvement like they have in the past in fact if he did it right there would be a feeding frenzy by the media that would eventually destroy George Soros.

if this were to happen it would look real bad for a month or two but the one thing I have learned from Trumps rise to the presidency is that the lefts only power is that which we give them because we are scared of the consequences of confronting them .

First off - Your blog is not “News.”

But apart from that, according to your Wiki user profile page, linked here -

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Grundle2600&oldid=353969441#My_user_name

You favor legal RECREATIONAL drug use.

You support “Same Sex Marriage.”

You are “Pro Choice” (meaning you support legalized abortion.)

You support UNIVERSAL health care.

You support (the lunatic) Ron Paul.

(And you proudly state that you voted for Gary Johnson.)

You are totally opposed to the Death Penalty.

(Although you don’t have a problem with legal abortion.)

So why are you posting on FreeRepublic, a site that is opposed in principle to so much that you support?

What kind of hypocrite has this background and then writes on Freerepublic about someone else’s “ideological pedigree?”

Become a leftist, sell your soul, and you too can get rich and powerful... but only until Judgment Day comes.

"But this was published by a highly reputable left wing source."

OK all you thread readers and lurkers!
Let's let that sentence sink in for a moment.

Now we consider the source - a Pro Abortion, universal healthcare, recreational drug use Ron Paultard who thinks FreeRepublic is a hit farm for his blog.

I guess that makes the "thinking" a bit more understandable.
Not logical or sound, mind you - just understandable.

Maybe you should find some "highly reputable left wing forum" on which to pimp your blog.

LOL! Asking the WaaaaaPo to debunk it is like asking a fox to decide whether chickens are good food...

[mad_as_he$$]

We agree. That said they are considered and often quoted as a “reputable” source in lefty land.
