There's a time for that discussion. But not now. Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists terrorized a town and killed a women. And our morally depraved president couldn't bring himself to put a name to evil.

> Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists terrorized a town They had a permit to hold that meeting. They could've showed off their bigotry peacefully, but police pushed them where Antifa counter-protested so both sides started to shout at each other which turned into a fight. It happened that way in Berkeley. Now it happened in Charlottetown. And it's going to happen again unless police starts doing it's job and protect p…

> When a muslim plows into a crowd it's a lone wolf and we should jump to conclusions. But now that it was a white guy the second it happened the media reached the consensus that it was an act of terrorism. This kind of double standard is what fuels white supremacists.

The "lone wolf" moniker has something to do with the proximity to and coordination with other wolves. When a white supremacist commits homicide at a white supremacist rally the label would not seem to apply.

Major companies that still have representatives in the council: GM, Blackrock, BCG, Walmart, Boeing, Pepsi, IBM, GE, Dow, Dell, Whirlpool, Ford, Johnson&Johnson, Lockheed Martin, US Steel, 3M, Corning Everyone who has left: Uber(Travel Ban and #DeleteUber), Disney(Paris withdrawal), Tesla/SpaceX(Paris Withdrawal). And now Merck, Under Armour and Intel(all left after failure to condemn white supremacists)

> Everyone who's left: ... Could you please disambiguate that? I am confused. Does it mean "Everyone who is left" or "Everyone who has left"? Thanks! Edit: For anyone who wonders what the heck I was talking about, the parent comment originally said "Everyone who's left" - and I honestly was not sure which it meant. That comment has now been edited to read "Everyone who has left", so I am grateful for the clarificatio…

Hi lee, if you may have seen on the Internet, the Stormfront website, and not to mention other places you may have frequented.

He indeed ticked the box of "speaking up". He sadly did not specifically point out the KKK/Alt-right/facists and how there was an attempt to murder a crowd of people. (His daughter did though point out the KKK/White supremacist part though in a tweet so kudos to her)

The fascists were quite pleased he did not speak out specifically. Maybe you were not aware of this.

You are correct. The problem is that the current president and the non-quiet part of the GOP wants to paint the factual moderate news media (or "MSM") as a liberal conspiracy.

> the factual moderate news media It's not a conspiracy. You can have emergent bias as much as planned bias. That's basically the position of various HR departments who offer unconscious bias training. At any rate, every study I've seen has confirmed that most media orgs at least lean left. Have you seen any that disagree?

> At any rate, every study I've seen has confirmed that most media orgs at least lean left

1) Links to studies?

2) Having a leaning in op-eds doesn't mean a bias in facts reported. I'd assume if you have 0 bias there would be no point in lying about facts, but regardless of left-leaning or right-leaning organisations, the real issue is whether you present truth or not.

Thanks for demonstrating the kind of character assassination the left so frequently tries to use against moderates.

> how there was an attempt to murder a crowd of people.

Trump also retweeted this:

the DOJ is opening a civil rights investigation on the car attack in Charlottesville

I'm just saying people have valid thoughts (polarization in general leads to t his) that might be considered premature. But if we're going to be evenhanded, angry left-wing people need to honor a cool off period for a while. Keep in mind that moderates who dislike…

I think "right-wing" people like to blame everyone else for bad things that happen. Its so infantile. (which fits the right wing psych profile)

Its YOUR fault the KKK exists. Its YOUR fault that the alt-Right exists. its Hilarys fault, its BLM fault, its Obamas fault. Its immigrants fault etc etc ad nauseum.

Not ONE "right-wing" person can say, hey, maybe it is my/our fault. Losers.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." -- Abraham Lincoln Pretty worrying to observe the polarization in the US where IMO both left and right are full of extremist views and moderates have no audible voice.

This is not about some general vague problem with "extremism" of which supposedly all sides are guilty. This is about the emergence of a right-wing terrorist movement which has already committed several attacks. When your first reaction to this is to to bring in some unspecified crimes of the left, then this calls into question whether you understand the seriousness of the situation. There is a real chance that real,…

>unspecified crimes of the left

Please stop. I guess all the rioting, arson (of which at Berkeley nothing was done about by law enforcement), and assaults (by mainly people hiding their face, mind you) carried out by the anti-Trump crowd this year don't count right? And this isn't to marginalize what happened over the weekend either, but people with polarizing narratives like you are a large part of the problem. We didn't get to where we are while in a vacuum.

Looking from across the pond, the left seem to have went full bananas. The identity politics and pushing "undocumented" migrants angle would be quite extreme in most of Europe. BLM look ridiculous too. While the right seem to be business as usual. Much more right than Euro right, but that's it.

This person is trolling. I could not figure out what they were trying to say. And anything I could I know to be wrong.
