    So this will become the narrative now among the Dems, liberals and press. Hundreds of violent clashes and protests, destruction, bodily harm, etc, by white/black liberals, but one march by white extremists (who I don't agree with by the way) and they will put a saddle on this and ride it for all it's worth. And it appears some of the violence was due to the reaction of the counter protestors because they couldn't just let them do their thing and disappear.

    And of course it's condemned vehemently by the mayor who said "...'cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance.." Funny how you never hear that when it's the liberals with all their hatred, bigotry, racism and intolerance.

    And now that they have another of one of a handful of events like these, whenever anyone brings up the hundreds of protests by the liberal haters, bigots, racists and intolerant, they'll use this one event to cancel out any real dialogue of what has happened and is happening. This will be their attempted 'mouth shutter' toward conservatives.

    If this was a liberal event and conservatives were counter protesting you'd hear a whole different narrative.

    Will it ever be LOUD enough and will you ever believe he MEANS it?

    For the record..

    "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," Trump said at a press conference form his New Jersey golf course.

    ****DISCLAIMER**** I am NOT a MoveOn member, I get their emails because a relative is running for public office right now, and he sends emails from MoveOn.org to his supporters. With that said...I got an email this afternoon:




    Dear MoveOn member,

    Can you join a vigil this weekend in solidarity with the people of Charlottesville in response to today's act of terror by white supremacists? Click here to find a vigil near you. (This link will take you to a partner's site with events around the country. You can also check Facebook and ask your friends, as many events are popping up).

    If you haven't seen the sickening news, here's a brief recap: Hundreds of neo-Nazis and white supremacists gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia yesterday and today, using the removal of a Confederate statue as an excuse to exhibit their violence. The people of Charlottesville, led by young people, students, and people of color, turned out to stand peacefully against this display of hate. A person, now in custody, plowed a car directly into the crowd of peaceful counter-protestors, killing at least one and injuring at least 19 others.

    Donald Trump has refused to use the term white supremacist or to condemn white supremacist violence.

    Racial terror and violence is one of our history's darkest legacies. The struggle to end it is one of the nation's greatest heritages. Let's stand united with the people of Charlottesville and generations before us against racism, white supremacy, violence and hate, and continue the work of creating a country that lives up to our ideals.

    MoveOn is joining with, Indivisible, Womens' March, Working Families Party, Democracy for America, PCCC, and other partners in supporting non-violent gatherings of solidarity tonight and Sunday.

    Click here to find a vigil or rally near you to stand with the people of #Charlottesville and to #StopWhiteTerrorism.

    Also, check Facebook and Twitter and ask your friends; solidarity vigils and events are popping up every minute. People for Bernie is keeping a running list on Twitter here. Or, gather a few friends, make signs, head to your city hall, and snap photos and video and share them using #Charlottesville and #StopWhiteTerrorism.

    Thanks for all you do.

    Republican lawmakers encourage Trump to specifically call out white nationalists
    By Alex Pappas

    A growing number of Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to specifically call out the white nationalists involved in the violent protests in Charlottesville on Saturday.

    "Mr. President - we must call evil by its name," Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner tweeted. "These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism."

    Trump didn't single out the white nationalists when he addressed the unrest on Saturday evening. He blamed "many sides" for the violence.

    "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides – on many sides," the president said.

    Other Republicans in Congress took issue with Trump's remarks.

    "Very important for the nation to hear @potus describe events in #Charlottesville for what they are, a terror attack by #whitesupremacists," tweeted Florida Sen. Marco Rubio....



    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    I don't know even one white person (and I know 1000s) who even sympathize with white supremacist. Most white people view these types as toothless, backwards, inbred, uneducated mental cases. I can't help but believe this is the media working this up like it's about to take over the entire nation. They are still trying to divide and stir up the masses like they did during Obama's tenure. I tuned the media out a long time ago and I'm so much better for it
