Ms. Dhillon said she was representing both the College Republicans and the Young Americaâs Foundation, a national conservative organization that is paying the bulk of Ms. Coulterâs fee.
Called it!
And their lawyer, Harmeet K. Dhillon, is she working pro bono, paid by YAF, or as a RNC National Committeewoman?
We need an insider at Bob Jones University to invite Richard Dawkins.
Theyâre infringing on her free speech! Oh, waitâŚtheyâre not letting her speak when she was planning to!
Anything to maintain the pretense of victimhood.
Because they think they are the good guys.
âRich manâs militiaâŚâ as the Fatima Mansions called them.
Everyone in these conflicts think they are the good guys. That is part of the problem.
I think people who are down with white supremacy and itâs implementation have much more to answer for, frankly. But YMMV.
And, just to be clear, Iâm sure not all the people involved on the right side are white supremacists, but if you throw your support behind that cause, Iâm not sure itâs much different and that the distinction matters all that much.
A lot of the people rallying are just patriotic, or maybe obstinate. But having watched and read the source material, I agree that many of those seeking violence are White supremacists and various other groups of skinheads or Neo-Nazis.
But the Antifa folks declared war on people they called Nazis. So now the actual Nazis are showing up.
I would not give you a quarter for Ann Coulter or Milo or any of those people. I am not interested in what they have to say. But if I did want to listen to them, even just out of morbid curiosity, and someone dressed like an ISIS thug wanted to stop me, I would be tremendously offended.
The last political rally I attended was being held by the ANC. It was interesting, But listening to those speeches does not mean that I support Communism or the practice of necklacing. I was literally just spectating. Antifa often targets spectators, which is a mistake.
I donât believe the anti-fascists dress like âISIS thugsâ nor would they support them. I donât think thatâs a fair comparison.
Iâd also argue that the hard right has been on the march and has been growing in mindshare since the election of Obama. They saw this as a major recruiting tool (a black man winning the presidency, previously held only by white Christian men).
Sure.
And not all communists do, either. Remember, itâs a spectrum, as you well know.
Did they in this case, though? Do you have proof that they did?
The anti-fascist organization active here in ATL has been posting signs about people with ties to white supremacist organizations and go to GSU. Is that âtargeting spectatorsâ or giving GSU students a warning about people who might be targeting them for their race, religious, or political beliefs?
Well the antifa escalation came directly on the heels of a Milo fan shooting a protester in Seattle and the comically hyperbolic reaction to their appearance in Berkeley to protest him being there. They were declared a massive destructive force paid for by Soros immediately by GOP media, and not just by Breitbart (because somehow Foxâs standards for broadcasting donât have a lower floor); and that is just a flat lie. Now, after there have been counter protests that are also violent - including conservatives doing backflips to support a man hitting a woman - conservative media had to ramp up their attack from âpaid protesterâ to âISIS-like terrorismâ which is also silly hyperbole just to make their guys seem better.
Antifa-
ISIS-
I really donât have any sympathy for the âProud Boysâ or any of the Stormfront rabble. But if I wanted to attend a speech by Farrakhan or Morton Klein, I doubt that any of the Stormfront people would try to physically prevent me from attending.
Also- This guy might be a dangerous skinhead thug, but he does not look like one. And how it looks to the average person is important.
I said âAntifa often attacks spectatorsâ, not that this was the case in the latest brawl at Berkeley.
I am aware that Antifa and the Supremacists are having a doxing contest. As long as they do not misidentify any regular people, I am not really worried about it.
On the right side (but probably not alt-right side), these are the people paying for all those guest speakers and lawyers:
Theyâve even turned Saint Reaganâs Ranch into a shrine.
Except for the times white supremacists incited violent protests over the years? They are in the thick of many violent protests like when the Freddie Gray protests turned violent.
Also Farrakhan was protested by liberals at Berkeley in 2012, and much like the Milo visit of 2017 there were a lot of people not arrested (though I think 1 person was arrested at the Milo protests).
I really donât want to argue about which group of violent, antisocial scum I would prefer to get attacked by.
maybe a little less caffeine and sugar for these participants
I like that. It has a good ring to it
Oh, they wear the same close, they must be just alike! /s
No, dude. Seriously. Just no. thatâs BS and you know it. Anti-fascists arenât out there stealing antiquities and beheading people and kidnapping women as sex slaves.
And a completely decontexualized picture of a guy who got hit with tear gas isnât going to convince me that white supremacists are less bad than anti-fascists. Iâm sorry the guy got hit. Iâm also really sorry he voted for the guy who supported mass deportation and a muslim ban and for pretty much eliminating my right to bodily autonomy.
