Upcoming Alt-Right rallies

I can't cut and paste.  

I'll be watching for the fall out from Trump's lack of condemnation this coming weekend.  It seems the Alt-Right has a bunch more rallies planned in other cities for this weekend.  

Will they take Trump's response as a 'nod of approval' and arrive in greater numbers at their upcoming rallies prepared for battle (as they were at Charlottesville  (really who shows up at a 'peaceful' rally with shields, helmets, baseball bats, and torches other than the riot police??)       Will there be a bigger protester turnout?

I'd like to go to one just to see what kind of jackasses waste their weekend trying to prove they are better than black people.

[mmhmm]

I've read there's a rally planned by this same group for the 19th of August in Boston. Boston has let it be known the group isn't welcome there.

[swamp]

I support their right to protest. I also have the right to mock them as doughy man boys with small penises. 

I note that the alt right rallies are overwhelmingly male.  Seems like some guys are just mad they can't get laid.

[steff]

They are planning one at Texas A&M University on 9/11.

While I support their right to peacefully assemble and protest anything they want, I don't understand why a city would give them a permit to protest WITH GUNS! WTF!

yeah, the protesting with guns seems to be a very bad idea.

I guess they need them to protect themselves from the Looney Left.   But I'm confused, if the Looney Left is a bunch of weak kneed pansies who are afraid to fight, why are these guys afraid of them?

Virginia is a open carry state. IDK if there permit to assemble had restrictions on guns. Guns in the hands of angry protesters is a bad idea IMO.

Personally I hate all protests, no matter who is organizing them.  If I have to hear about your stupid rally or protest,  or god forbid have to drive through one or walk through it.  I'm going to call you an idiot and I'm going to lose respect for whatever you were protesting against or rallying for. 

The only exception to the above rule is anyone who goes out to mock the Westboro Baptist idiots.   They get a pass. 

can't I mock Nazis? Please?

the protests back in the day - for women's suffrage and de-segregation - those were good and worth it. These ones now though? Not so much. Waaaah, I'm a white man and I'm oppressed!!!

[Miss Tequila]

Proves that the people at this protest really are stupid. Why not take a page out of the Antifa book and cover the face while you riot?

Here's the way I look at it. If everyone would just ignore these idiots they would go away. Who cares what people protest? Let them protest and ignore them. If they block the road, run their asses over. But if they aren't interfering with other people, why can't we just ignore them? Why counter-protest? Why give them air time? Isn't that giving them credibility?

I don't agree with purposely hurting people because they are in front of my car, but the rest - yeah.  Ignore them as long as they aren't causing problems.

So just do away with the First Amendment then?

I'm pretty sure what proved they are stupid is every fucking thing they believe in and what they were there for.  But I guess opinions vary?  And some people don't want to condemn these people because.....well, I'm not sure why.  They are so very easily condemnable. I can't fathom how insulting people who counter-protest white supremacy rolls off the tongue so much more easily that condemning white supremacists themselves.

Of course you can.   If they're protesting they are fair game in my book I'll point and mock right there with you.    Be warned though,   save the planet and love your neighbor protests are also on my list

Sure, yeah....because people who want to "save the planet" are as disgusting and detestable slice of humanity as people who want to subjugate all black people.

Huh? I'm not sure why you are saying I didn't condemn them. I said to ignore the idiots. They are even more stupid than the idiots on the other side who were rioting because at least those idiots are smart enough to cover their faces. But by giving them air time people are giving them credibility. And to care enough to have counter-protests seems silly. These are fringe whack jobs and no one outside of Virginia would have known about the protest if not for every news outlet paying attention to it. I think anyone that has seen me post bout protests knows I think only morons protest. This is not different. A bunch of people I don't care about spewing hatred. Ignore and move on.

I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to say that would make you think I'm condemning them.

Because ignoring them and not giving credibility to their idiocy means I Believe in their message? That's what you got out of that? It's like you have to find something wrong in anything a conservative posts. It is by giving them air time that we feed them. Let them have their silly protest (assuming it was peaceful and not destructive or interfering with others) and then it is over. If they got destructive then they should have all been arrested. If they blocked traffic they should have been arrested. Other than that, ignore them. What people think they will gain by protesting is beyond me. I don't care what a bunch of KKK crack pots have to say.

They're not as disgusting or detestable but they are as annoying and idiotic.    Sorry, that I'm not living up to your conservative expectations. 

Sure, yeah....because having goals to do good is just as "idiotic" as goals to subjugate black people.  Got it.  The false equivalencies continue to abound.

Any protester is annoying and idiotic. I wouldn't take one of them seriously. Maybe that's why I'm not as bent out of shape over their assembly? I still don't know what they hoped to accomplish, other than riling up counter-protesters and getting coverage.

They are even more stupid than the idiots on the other side because they didn't cover their faces?  They are not even more stupid because it's 2017 and they still believe black people (well, and I think women...and all non-whites) are genetically inferior?  That's not what makes them worse?  Why bring up "antifa" (the brand new buzzword)  What did that have to do with white supremacists running people over with a car? 

I just think it's funny that you had a lot of negative commentary about women who peacefully marched wearing cat ears, about BLM, about the inaugural protests, etc and in this case we should just not comment. In this case it is all the counter-protesters fault for noticing.

I think all protests and people participating are idiots. I'm pretty sure I've said that all along. As for this past protest, I meant giving them air time before hand...who would have even known about it if it wasn't plastered all over the news and Facebook? If no one paid attention, a few hundred idiots would have showed up, spewed their hatred and moved on. No one outside of the people in those groups is suddenly going to agree with their hate message. I wouldn't waste my time going to a regular protest, let alone going to protest people protesting.

The person that murdered that woman is an animal and deserves to be put down like on. That death has nothing to do what I'm talking about. Im talking about the protest. Once someone escalates to property damage, physical violence or murder they should be arrested.

I don't give a rat's patootie what anyone is protesting. I see them as attention whoring nuisances.  I'm equal opportunity in that way. There is zero false equivalence. 

Exactly! I've said many times that normal people ignore protests. I still don't know what the pink hat protest was about...other than a bunch of angry women. This protest is no different. A bunch of white supremacists spewing their hatred. Ignore and move on

I've seen cases where the KKK go home because they were ignored. They come to instigate violence. Without media coverage they failed.

Exactly! But somehow because I'm a conservative when I say that I'm accused of being racist and whatnot...cracks me the hell up. You and I are on opposite sides of politics so I appreciate that you don't have to dissect every word written by a conservative to twist things to make your case.
