As long as they're not "speaking" with bullets, knives, baseball bats or fists, or trying to incite a riot. I don't think you'll find anyone saying they don't have a right to protest or communicate their views. And, of course, if their views are inaccurate and/or dishonest, I'm assuming you won't have a problem when people point that out.And we'll see complaints when others use their right of free speech to oppose the likely racism that will come from this rally.
Yet we will see the protesters complaining at being shouted down.As long as they're not "speaking" with bullets, knives, baseball bats or fists, or trying to incite a riot.

Well, let's be clear about something. Simply trying to drown out someone else in a flood of noise is an attempt to deny them their right of free speech, not an exercise of speech. Exercising free speech is about engaging those opposed to you in dialogue, or presenting your own views in the public square. Mindless chants meant to drown out speakers is not the sort of public discourse that waters the tree of democracy.Yet we will see the protesters complaining at being shouted down.
And if the racists pretending to protest about free speech show up armed I'm sure you will be here to denounce them.
This is why race issues will never be solved so long as people want to one-up the other side.Well, let's be clear about something.

Is it your opinion that some explanation is necessary as to why Nazism and white supremacy is wrong?Well, let's be clear about something.

Really nice imagery there. In the context of Charlottesville it's just more blather, unless you can describe how the chanting marching Nazis and Klansmen were watering that tree of democracy.Well, let's be clear about something.

Lol! The statue debate is one created by others! Talk about revisionist!This whole 'statue debate' is a Trump initiated distraction to deflect the overwhelming moral condemnation for his support of the unsupportable and his defence of the indefensible.
Oh Baloney, that was how the whole issue was originally framed by the major broadcast networks and newspapers. It wasn't for several days that reporting made clear that this was a Neo-Nazi, not a Southern rights rally.This whole 'statue debate' is a Trump initiated distraction to deflect the overwhelming moral condemnation for his support of the unsupportable and his defence of the indefensible.

The topic is actually Trumps refusal to side against Nazis and his claim that some of the Nazis are good people.Lol! The statue debate is one created by others! Talk about revisionist!
The counter protest happened Saturday, not Friday during the torch march. The neo-Nazis of Friday night were just a small part of the group gathered on Saturday (many of whom cannot be branded as neo-Nazi, KKK, or white supremacist in their beliefs). Of course, the Saturday demonstration was shut down after only 20 minutes due to the fights started by the counter protesters who left their permit site. As a result, there's no video of the attendees of the Saturday event. Just video of some of the fights.Really nice imagery there.

Certainly the symbols they were gathered under never had nanything to do with democracy, human rights or free speech, never mind something as high-minded and idealistic as dialogue (which means 'two-way' as I'm sure you know)
Would you participate in an match where many people were waving Nazi flags and of the rest had KKK crosses and white supremacists slogans?The counter protest happened Saturday, not Friday during the torch march.

:whoo:Tina Fey said:"You know Trump would take the statues down in a second if he could build a bunch of poorly constructed condos on the spot"
