Idiots on the march in Virginia

And, both sides had them.

Maybe the KKK and the NeoNazis should just talk to themselves, rather than try to provoke and intimidate an otherwise peaceful, beautiful and historic college town. Or go bother the citizens of the right-wing shitholes who may embrace their ideology. Charlottesville wants nothing to do with these clowns and is not deserving of the violence these assholes wrought on their fair city.

Goes back to leave the fucking statues alone. It's like picking at a scab.

Bullshit. The duly elected city council voted to remove the traitor Bobby Lee's statue. Sounds like you only favor democracy when it suits you.

Cool, I'm sure we have the votes to get rid of every MLK street and statue.

Didn't know that was how you were supposed to look at it.

You debate like a pimple faced adolescent virgin, Skippy.

They are indeed scabs and erected specifically for that reason by Lost Causers during the Jim Crow and civil rights eras. For the record, I'm a Civil War buff and have a great, great ... Grandfather who was a Confederate general (and a Union Army private who was with Grant at Appomattox Court House). I do have compassion, however, for my fellow citizens who bristle at rednecks rubbing their Civil War revisionism in their faces. In any event, it was the Charlottesville City Council's business to deal with their statue as they chose. It's no business of mine, nor of a Neo-Nazi from Maumee, Ohio.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A disturbing hostage video surfaced on Monday showing an American man woodenly reciting words that were not his own.

The video, which was broadcast on all the major news networks, raised concerns for the man, whose robotic performance indicated that he was reading a prepared statement under duress.

While the man appeared well fed and, to a certain extent, healthy, his facial expressions and body language convinced experts that the act of reciting the prepared text was an extraordinary ordeal for him.

Harland Dorrinson, a forensic psychologist, compared the man’s performance with hours of earlier footage of him and said that the man had “never expressed these sentiments before.”

“He did not seem to understand what he was saying,” the psychologist said. “At times, he appeared to be reading these words phonetically.”

Additionally, Dorrinson said, the man’s speech patterns in the hostage video were strikingly different from those in earlier videos of him. “From the moment he began speaking, the subjects in his sentences agreed with the verbs,” he said. “That set off alarm bells.”

Listened to Mush Limbo this morning for laughs. He was, seriously, telling his idiot audience that the Nazis were not extreme right wing fascists, but were, in fact, left-wing radicals. Sure they were, Mush.

Illinois Senate approves resolution asking police to recognize neo-Nazi groups as terrorist organizations

It's a start. Should follow Germany, and just outlaw the fuckers entirely.

That's an item of faith among the Far Right. They use the argument that since Nazi is a shortened version of National Soci@lism, it is thereby soci@lism and accordingly a leftist ideology. Similarly, they claim that the current day Democratic Party is the party of racism because of the Democrat's former ideology before LBJ flipped the party and the GOP become the party of white grievance. Ahistorical revisionism is all they got.
