Idiots on the march in Virginia

Cliff Notes on Trump's speech:

On one side, you have white nationalists and neo-Nazis carrying assault weapons and advocating for a white, Christian, fascist ethno-state in America. On the other side, you have people who would prefer not to be systematically exterminated. Both are equally bad! To put it another way, on one side, you have the guy who law enforcement officials say deliberately ran a woman over with his car and the people who are celebrating her death. On the other, you have the woman who got run over by the car. Both are to blame!

"Nazis? Been there, done that. Just ask the Greatest Generation.
The Nazi flags and salutes in Charlottesville over the weekend were a tough sight for anyone who had anything to do with the bloodiest war in human history.

“I signed up to fight Nazis 73 years ago and I’ll do it again if I have to,” tweeted World War II veteran and former Michigan congressman John Dingell.

“Hatred, bigotry, & fascism should have no place in this country,” he wrote.
And thousands of folks retweeted that, and military members liked it, some telling Dingell they’d be right behind him.

The folks behind the World War II Memorial also gave Dingell’s message a thumbs-up. “Thanks #WWII vet Rep Dingell & #GreatestGeneration! Let’s work to encourage unity, civic engagement & personal responsibility in our nation!” the Friends of the National World War II Memorial tweeted.

At an assisted-living facility in Provo, Utah, the World War II veterans who always sit at a lunch table together couldn’t stop talking about the rally-turned-riot in Charlottesville.

“Today, all they could talk about was how they wished they could teach those ‘punk Nazis in Virginia’ a lesson,” Katie Wilson, who works at the retirement community, recounted on Twitter.

Even President Trump finally joined in denouncing the neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan by name on Monday.

The last time the red-black- and-white flag of a country was flown, more than 407,000 American lives were lost, nearly half of them in Europe." WP

Well said Mr. Dingell. I'm glad my dad didn't live to see this abomination marching through the streets in Charlottesville, Virginia. He and his fellow GIs in the Tenth Armored Division under Gen. Patton and Gen. Patch fought Nazis from Metz, France to Bastogne, Belgium - Battle of the Bulge, through Germany where they liberated a Dachau subcamp in Landsberg, Bavaria to Austria until the 'Barking Monster' finally blew his brains out in a bunker under Berlin. They stayed on for a short time after the surrender before being mustered out on arrival home at Camp Patrick Henry in Virginia.

I still have a Nazi dress dagger that he brought home from the war. It's creepy as hell with a gold eagle clutching a swastika on the hilt. I'm told it's worth some money but I'd rather melt the fucking thing down than see some piece of shit neo-Nazi drooling over it.

To see the president equivocate and try to spread the blame for what his supporters did in Charlottesville is disgusting in the extreme and an affront to the memory of everyone killed and wounded by the Nazis.

Hundreds of thousands of our Greatest Generation must be groaning and crying out in protest from the grave at the abomination that was seen marching in Virginia this past weekend.

Shame on them and anyone who tries to explain away their actions.

They always kinda bothered me, these statues of supremacy.
But starting a new civil war, would bother me a whole lot more.
Torches flicker in the night, when some are looking for a fight.
So tell me, if you'd be so kind, what sort of war you have in mind?

Are you saying that the blues are ready to fight the white supremacists? If this comes to pass it will be a war fought by citizens with the streets being the battlefields. The warfare will be suppressed to varying degrees by the authorities and the violence will eventually subside. As far as wars go, it won't be much of one.

Corporations will make lots of money. Especially the media.

Goes back to what I said about poking a sleeping dog.

For what ? Won't help a single black person 1 cent.

So much for Trump's claim that he wanted to get his facts straight. Factcheckers at the Post prove once again that Donny Trump is a bald faced liar.

Poor old Bob. Hillary can't lose....

Being the genius you are it's hard to imagine how you could have been wrong.
