I see Fox News is now referring to these racist hate groups under the umbrella of "white nationalists". I guess they aren't allowed to call all these fine people Nazis or skinheads or mention the klan anymore. David Duke must be getting ready for another senate run again. This is just as ridiculous as the left refusing to use the words "islamic terrorists". I listen to Fox News Channel all the time on Sirius/XM. Like you, I don't like the sanitized term 'white nationalists'. I here them make reference to Neo-Nazi's and white supremists quite often in their reporting. Your suggestion that Fox is somehow racially biased is a little unfare.. By the way, Fox never, ever embraced David Duke, so don't go there. He was the darling of the KKK, wihite supremists and neo-Nazi types, certainly not your average, normal conservative. |

Congress and the Supreme Court. If I can't just say myself... You have more faith than me. I think I'll leave it open even if the speech disturbs me because I don't want anyone else telling me what's right or wrong. Ditto here. While I disagree with the sentiment and the why, I don't think we have the right to decide what is hate speech and not hate speech. For example, I may not like Willardites, because they live in the cesspool that is Willard, and I may spew nasty and hateful things about Willardites and my friends and family may feel the same way, but that doesn't mean the police or anyone has the right to ban my right to speak about them because I choose to utilize some sort of hate speech. Good Lord, if that was allowed, I can only imagine how many basketball games would have never been played in the NOL back in the 70's and 80's for fear of the riots. (LOL!!! Like how I worked that in there?) I don't think any of us agree that the hate speech is OK, but if you start with one group of this nature, you get on the slippery slope and it won't stop. Before you know it, you will be pursuing the Brownie Scouts, because they have started to minimize the size of their cookie boxes and still charge the same price for them....*******!!! |

Oh good, I see the alt right has come up with the theory that the left staged the whole Charlettesville thing as a plot to smear Trump. You guys have nothing to worry about now. Apparently Trump did nothing wrong since the whole thing was staged. I have an idea, let's see what which movement has more legs. The Charlettesville was staged movement or the let's rename Washington DC movement. Any takers?

Actually, President Trump shouldn't even be mentioned. Rather bizarre attempt to hang some blame on the president, where there is none.
Those trying to make political hay from this tragic event are the lowest of low, no matter what their political leanings may be.
Personally, I put much of the responsibility on Charlottesville authorities for granting permits and having far too insufficient law enforcement on hand.
