Except that is incomparable, they were pointing out that the left group violence was overlooked by media as a separate matter, even if pertinent. Your friend or this woman deserves your condolences as a victim of beo-nazisn but the cops hut by the left groups somehow don't deserve mention???

Believe it or not I agree with you. There are BLM peeps who call for the death of policeman. However if Trump wanted to be effective, he should have waited a week or two and provided evidence of radical leftists, rather than pretty much doing what I posted.

That's an indictment of Trump as a poor President (dont hurt me mdk) though, not of anything else

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides It has been going on for a long time in our country -- not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. It has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America." - Donald Trump

I am not exactly seeing the issue with what was said here that allows for such a reaction. Oddly enough, there has been enough word out for the time being that there are witnesses coming forward confirming this is correct; that there was violence by both factions. Unless the President of the United States made some other comment on it that I have either glossed over or did not recognize as being "provocative" for not condemning everything that happened, this is a fairly accurate thing to say.

If anything I believe people are falling prey to the way it is being presented, what is being presented, and their very own emotions in it. Suddenly this is somehow more real because a Nazi drove a car into a crowd of people and killed one. Does it really matter who did it?

As a history major who's taken multiple courses and written essays on the civil war, I can tell you now I know that a lot of leftists are into the mob mentality and don't deign to look up facts. Like how Robert E. Lee freed his slaves, petitioned for african americans to gain a good education after the war, and the south would have abolished slavery due to industrialization in 20 years anyway. But instead you have people with no historical studies commenting on the civil war as if they've got a degree.

I love Robert E. Lee as a historical figure, but he was a lot more complicated than that. He also believed that blacks shouldn’t have the vote, were inferior to white men and women, and by some accounts was ruthless with how he treated his father’s slaves for a time. He was also a spiteful and petty man, just not in regards to the victory of the Union over the Confederacy. While I agree that the near-sighted perspective of history by the ignorant and uneducated is an issue you cannot just hand-waive all of Lee's problematic issues because he was against confederate statues and the few positive views he had on blacks.

I'm just against people making him synonymous with a mustache twirling villain when he very much was not.

Actually it makes all the difference. First blood (fatal) is the bad guys

CNN is fake news! Apart from the few times when mdk decides that they aren't.

....That's not, you know, that's not to say the fucking KKK are the "good guys." I'm just saying

Are we playing that game again? It's a very fun game for me to play.

Sort of like how not all Trump voters are neo-nazis but all neo-nazis voted for Trump? ;)

Who is Halsey in this context?
