Antifa is short for anti-fascists. It was one of the groups confronting white supremacist protesters in

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

I don’t care what their goals are, I reject all violent thug groups.

[Pietro]

Did they mention that antifa are Bolsheviks?

Otherwise it’s just more fake news.

[TTFlyer]

So, Antifa attacks you with bike-locks, ball bats, and Molotov cocktails while the police stand and watch and the Media cheers them on.

Question:

How do you defend yourself?

[Biggirl]

Yes. The bats are what they use as weapons.

[momincombatboots]

This is how the Red Terror was able to catagorize and cart off hundreds of thousands. Don’t congratulate CNN.. they are handing out yellow stars with this story. Defining the enemy.

[Yo-Yo]

The first story CNN has ever run on ANTIFA.

And most likely the last. CNN will now say "we covered that already" and this will be the last you'll ever hear of it.

AND IT'S A LIE.

ANTIFA STANDS FOR ANTI FIRST AMENDMENT

They shall also suffer the same fate as ISIS!! Death by the USMC!!

A very obvious question should be asked. If Antifa has been showing up to oppose the "alt-right", then who were they opposing at the inauguration when they threw stuff at inaugural ball attendees, blocked checkpoints onto the Mall, and rioted? They were opposing the legal, elected, transition of power.

This is huge that CNN referred to antifa as violent. If the Klan and Nazis crawl back under their rock, antifa will be clashing with regular Americans, again.

Antifa’s tactics are straight from the Nazi Brownshirts playbook. Attack your opponents and when they resist blame them for the violence, and demand increased powers to ensure stability. They already trying to declare that one type of offensive speech is worthy of imprisonment while their hateful rhetoric and incitement to violence gets a free pass. Fascist tactics in support of Commie goals.

[anton]

The POTUS needs to ask the American people is paid thugs are part of our democratic process. 95% of the public don’t even know about Soros’ Army.

There are no "regular Americans." All who oppose Antifa, the Democrats, the Media, and the GOPe are white supremacists, Klansmen, or Nazis. Get your "facts" right.

Only 11,000 signatures so far...we need to do better...Twitter users...

[Neoliberalnot]

The title of the CNN report is another sneaking lie since there weren’t any white supremacists at the staged event. CNN articles should have no place on this forum.

[odawg]

Islamofacists also dress in black with faces covered in black when they do their evil. Same crowd.

[Right Wing Assault]

The first story CNN has ever run on ANTIFA.

And they called them violent! Leftists are NEVER violent, Jake. More fake news just to get people worked up? /s

[Neoliberalnot]

Darn good assessment.
