So, those who stand up against racism are as hateful as the racists themselves? Who knew?

Don't like The Donald, didn't vote for him, won't vote for him and unlike you have never voted Republican. From a Republican's perspective https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/u...e-protest.html was just what the doctor ordered.

"President Donald Trump bowed to overwhelming pressure that he personally condemn white supremacists ..." says it all.

Which is why that sentence is the article's charge sentence.

BTW, you got names and pics of these bad lefties? Or do you just 'know' they were there?

Maybe they just dropped out of the sky in to the middle of a Klan rally.

You sound like an Infowars chump. Maybe they came from another dimension!

They came there to disrupt a bunch of nut cases. How did that work out ?

Old Man Trump was arrested in 1927 for participating in a KKK riot. Apple, Tree.

Evidence?? You think the folks in those videos from Saturday were fighting with themselves?

If you insist, however:

Prior to Saturday's rally, there was foreknowledge that about 2000 people were coming in from out of town to counter-protest.

City Attorney S. Craig Brown disagreed, saying the statements were simply councilors exercising their First Amendment rights. He said the City Manager Maurice Jones moved the rally strictly for safety precautions.

He also argued that the expected 2,000 counter-protesters coming to town to oppose the Unite the Right rally were not part of the two rallies planned for the downtown parks, but they would follow Kessler’s rally wherever it is held.

...and...

Brown said the city moved the rally to McIntire Park because it can more easily be secured. The city estimates that 1,000 or more people are expected to be at the rally and that they will be met by about 2,000 counter-protesters.

“The 2,000 who are coming are coming for one purpose and one purpose only, and that’s to protest and counter-demonstrate against Mr. Kessler,” Brown told the judge. “We firmly believe there is a threat of violence if it takes place in Emancipation Park. We firmly believe the same threat of violence exists if it’s moved to McIntire Park. The key to preventing violence is to keep the sides apart and it is easier to keep the sides separate at McIntire because it is bigger.”

Now, this from Newsweek:

Groups such as Anti-Racist Action, Showing Up for Racial Justice and Black Lives Matter arrived in Charlottesville in force against the crowds of white neo-Nazis waving Confederate flags at the "Unite the Right" event. "The crash followed violent conflicts between far-right demonstrators, Antifascist (AntiFa) protesters, and police that resulted in tear gas canisters detonating in the streets amid scores of arrests and hospitalizations," the Southern Poverty Law Center said of Fields' attack in Virginia.

And finally, while you might legitimately take Trump to task for not calling out by name ALL actors in the violence on Charlottesville on Saturday, I think this article gets it right:

The president may have been speaking to supporters calling on mainstream politicians to condemn the AntiFa movement with his controversial remarks over the weekend on the car attack. Trump declined in the aftermath of the Charlottesville violence to denounce white power groups, instead alluding to the AntiFa movement in a statement condemning anyone who showed up looking for a fight in Virginia.

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides — on many sides," Trump said during a press conference.
