Trump condemns 'hate' after protest violence in Virginia

[iReason]

Obama's response to Charlottesville is now the most 'liked' tweet of all time

 

"The first of his series of threaded tweets has accumulated about 2.8 million "likes," making it the most approved of tweet of all time."

 

"Citing Nelson Mandela, Obama wrote, "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion ... People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love ... For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

 

Bravo sir.

That's how it's done.

 

What a contrast to the sour, crass ignorant one and his Deplorables.

Fortunately, that already small minority is shrinking.

Eventually relegated to the dark recesses of history.

Quote

 

Antifa’s violent tactics have elicited substantial support from the mainstream left.

 

As members of a largely anarchist movement, antifascists don’t want the government to stop white supremacists from gathering. They want to do so themselves, rendering the government impotent.

Quote

"What they're trying to do now is not only become prominent through violence at these high-profile rallies, but also to reach out through small meetings and through social networking to cultivate disenfranchised progressives who heretofore were peaceful," Levin said.

"And so we go to cause conflict, to shut them down where they are, because we don't believe that Nazis or fascists of any stripe should have a mouthpiece."

A couple of quotes some from 2 left-wing  Trump hating rags explaining antifa.

 

In a nutshell antifa are  violence espousing thugs, same as the  fascist white supremacists  they claim to be fighting. A bit ironic-(maybe not)- that their recruitment technique is  similar in approach  to Al Queda and IS.For this group to continue to grow in numbers and support will  be  for both sides to up their ante and fight back harder with increased violence and attention seeking tactics. It's  been  played out before under different names .

 

My opinion; times  like these  it's good  to remember MLK,  Gandhi, Mandela et al.

"their recruitment technique is  similar in approach  to Al Queda and IS."

 

Hysterical hyperbolic gibberish.

 

Actually, I'd been wondering how long it would be before some Deplorable would invoke that mantra.

Shameless.

You are deliberately not seeing the difference. 

 

Antifa have one kind of enemy: sexists and racists. These types should be all our enemies. 

 

White supremacists have the following enemies: Jews, blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, browns, communists and liberals. Anyone who is not white and opposes white supremacy, which is pretty much most of the world.

 

While one group espouses violence against hate mongers, the other group espouses violence against anyone who opposes white supremacy. Allied troops fighting the Axis powers did not make the Allied troops the same as the Axis powers.

 

Recruiting methods: Trump uses the alphabet to write words. That doesn't not make him Charles Manson or Jack the Ripper who also used the alphabet to write words.

 

Don't try and create an equivalence where none exists.

You're a bit confused. The ANC was not an organization that espoused nonviolence. Nor, given the nature of their opposition, should they have been.

                       I know 4 year olds who can condemn hate.  I heard his response speech was tepid, and didn't focus on any group.  Rather like Rodney King saying, 'why can't we all get along?'  After Trump's flaccid response, he walked out without fielding any questions.  Right-wingers responded to Trump's response with, "Yay, he's still our guy!"  

 

                  There are soooooo many reasons Trump should be tossed out the exit door.  I wish I could say he's just ignorant and ineffectual, but in fact, he's much worse.......

 

 

Let's not forget quotes from the NY Times

 

"Comparing Antifa to Mr. Fields’s act is like “comparing a propeller plane to a C-130 transport,” said Brian Levin, the director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino".

 If I'm not mistaken, a C-130 has four of them. So, what is the comparison?  

 Yeah, and an AR-15 is an automatic weapon...LOL.  

Do any of these liberal so called journalist have a clue about anything, before they write about it?

 

Yes, I know that is an AC-130 Gunship. Thought I would add to the drama.

GoDaddy and Google expel Daily Stormer over victim smear

 

A notorious US neo-Nazi website is being forced to switch domain name providers for a second time in a day after it disparaged a woman who died during protests in Virginia. On Monday morning, the Daily Stormer was given 24 hours to move by GoDaddy. The site was then briefly registered via Google before it acted likewise.

Heather Heyer was killed on Saturday after a car rammed into a crowd protesting a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

 

"The domain is no longer at GoDaddy and we don't host the site," the Arizona-based company tweeted at 17:51 BST.
Just over an hour later Google issued its own statement: "We are canceling Daily Stormer's registration with Google Domains for violating our terms of service."

You keep posting things like this, but I don't recall any specific, credibly sourced violent act attributed to antifa.

 

"...that their recruitment technique is  similar in approach  to Al Queda and IS..."

 

Well yes, they recruit using the internet.  Lots of organizations do.  Can you give us any other similarities?

And others. Hopefully enough is finally becoming enough.

 

It's not just domain registrars and game chat services that are cracking down on neo-Nazis in the wake of the racism-fuelled violence in Charlottesville. Facebook and Reddit have both confirmed that they've shut down numerous hate groups in the wake of the attacks. Reddit tells CNET that it shut down the /r/Physical_Removal subreddit for content that "incites violence" and thus violates its content policy. Users in the group hoped that people in anti-hate subreddits and at CNN would be killed, supported concentration camps and even wrote poems about killing.

a handful of them (perfect definition of a circle jerk btw) gather on these threads to share links from the internet that back up their erroneous theories. of course, we all know that the media is upset with trump for thrashing their chosen candidate and making them look like novices…so there are no shortage of media links….but thats all they have. Zero independent thought or personal assessment of a situation. Be gentle to them…they're in their golden years and easily upset. lol.
 
 

Well it's official Holmes, you're ok, you can have a circle jerk of two.

Daily Stormer forced on to dark web while Reddit and Facebook ban hate groups

 

"American neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer has moved on to the so-called dark web in an attempt to stay operational, following cyber-attacks by hacker group Anonymous and the cancellation of the site’s original domain name."

 

"GoDaddy – the internet domain registrar and web hosting service – and Google cancelled the Daily Stormer’s domain name registration on Sunday, saying that they prohibit clients from using their sites to incite violence."

 

"Its operation may be short-lived, as other sites forced on to the dark web have found it difficult to stay operational under attack from hacking groups."

Daily Stormer editor who joked about Charlottesville protester killed in car attack 'amused' by death threats

 

"The founder of a white supremacist website who elicited widespread condemnation for his viral blog post mocking a woman's death at Saturday's white nationalist rally in Charlottesville says he's received death threats since suggesting 32-year-old Heather Heyer was a “drain on society” because she was unmarried and childless."

 

"He offered no apology, but instead doubled down in his view that,

“Women who don't have children are abandoning their natural duty and breaking the social contract, and they should be ostracised for it.”

I know! Imagine, being on the right side of history and providing leadership to the majority of Americans, rather than a narrow group of narrow-minded bigots. I guess that's what you'll have to do, imagine having competent leadership, because what we got ain't getting any better any time soon.

Tired of losing?

Tired of your pick doing nothing?

Even 'tho he has the majority of Congress?

 

I think deep down, you know you backed a loser.

It hurts and you're compelled to lash out.

It might not be too late for you to flee the Dark Side 'tho. (that small and diminishing minority)

 

'Cause it's all downhill from here.

[Thakkar]

This is a prescient speech. I think it important enough to cross post on two active threads:

 

Donald Trump built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He is taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party. It's a disturbing preview of what kind of president he'd be. 

 

A man with a long history of racial discrimination who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far dark reaches of the internet, should never run our government or command our military.

 

Some people still want to give Trump the benefit of the doubt. They hope that he will eventually reinvent himself- that there's a kinder, gentler more responsible Trump waiting in the wings somewhere. But here's the hard truth: there is no other Donald Trump. This is it. This is someone who retweets white supremacists online, like the user who goes by the name "white-genocide-TM"

 

Trump took this fringe bigot with a few dozen followers and spread his message to 11 million people. When asked in a nationally televised interview whether he would disavow the support of David Duke, a former grand wizard of the KKK, Trump wouldn't do it. And only later, under mounting pressure did he backtrack.

 

No one should have any illusions about what's really going on here. The names may have changed. Racists now call themselves 'racialists.' White supremacists now call themselves 'white nationalists.' The paranoid fringe now called itself 'alt-right.' But the hate burns just as bright.

 

This is about who we are as a nation, it's about the kind of example we want to set for our children. Next time you see Trump on TV, think about all the children listening. You know kids hear a lot more than we think.

Fox News, Daily Caller delete posts encouraging people to drive through protests

 

"Months before a man allegedly turned his vehicle into a weapon and plowed through a group of protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia,

an article that made the rounds in conservative media encouraged readers to do something similar."

 

"Originally published by The Daily Caller and later syndicated or aggregated by several other websites, including Fox Nation, an offshoot of Fox News' website, it carried an unsubtle headline: "Here's A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road."

 

"Embedded in the article was a minute-and-a-half long video showing one vehicle after another driving through demonstrations."

I think Mandela fought a long hard fight and walked away from it with lessons the rest of us can gain from. Same as MLK and others. The US is moving through difficult times; as citizens  we can give  into our rage and caveman tendencies  or we can lean on the lessons of  people who have gone through similar difficulties. Not fighting  the people who are showing you the  basest of disrespect isn't easy  but it yields a better outcome  than sticks and stones.

Just the same, unlike MLK and Gandhi, Mandela did not eschew violence. I want to make clear that I am not finding fault with him for that.

And after his speech today, your President now has them in his sights. And seeing how they are an anti-Trump hate group I can't wait to see how he will deal with them.
