I think a good portion of the civic South has been giving a f#ck you to Yankees, the Feds & black people since they lost. Every once in a while the Southern powers-that-be (now old crusty white Republicans but it was Democrats for a long time) have to be reminded - and we know this is difficult to swallow like grits are - that y'all were slave-labor-luvin traitors to the Union and no, that's not something to be celebrated and landmarked and called your "heritage." At least not in the 21st century.
This article is originally from WaPo, not an alt-right group. It's about lefties instigating the violence at right-sponsored marches. I don't think that's a good look for the left; better to be on the moral high ground, as with the (extremely peaceful) Women's March, than to have this be a battle of my aggressive young males who get off on kicking people vs. your aggressive young males who get off on kicking people. Thoughts? https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/0b4c4865-4f0a-348c-9107-789cdd1fe0a6/ss_black-clad-antifa-members.html
If this was all there was to the statue worship it wouldn't be that important. The statues were only a part of an effort to to whitewash southern history and destroy Reconstruction and end any rights for blacks there. Coincidentally there is a confederate general who served with Lee at Gettysburg who has been deleted from the iconography because he served as governor of Virginia in the 1880's voted in on a coalition of black & white voters. They had the audacity to raise taxes and to use it on things like public schooling. On of you here who are more learned than I or better google-fu skills can find more details.
You are more to the point than I. The erasing of Mahone may have been coincidental but that is just a pretty strong coincidence. I have been on other website where posters state that this (statues) are nothing more than honoring heritage. Having said that I haven't seen anyone argue successfully why Mahone has almost no statues compared to lesser-ranked officers such as a JEB Stuart, PT Beauregard or a John Hunt Morgan.
Yes, "antifa" idiots and anarchists starting violence at rallies is stupid. Those ********ing assholes woke me up every weekend when I studied in London with their pointless protests.
I have very few problems with folks who give Nazis a boot in the ass. That was the moral high ground when the government said it was. Now it's different? lol
I don't recall the article talking about Nazis, although I can't double check that because now the WaPo is firewalling me.
Hey, remember when some guy supposedly got stabbed by antifa because he had a Nazi haircut, and two people posted about it on here immediately because they have some kind of pathological need for both sides to be equal in blame? Turns out, it was bullshit. The guy stabbed himself.
Remember this guy? You'll never guess what happened next! http://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/08/28/stabbing-joshua-witt-neo-nazi-steak-shake/ He's like backwards B girl. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Charm City Jimmy cite this guy?
I win! By one minute! It was "hi!!!" and ceezmad who brought up this story when it was first pushed out of the right wing wurlitzer.
Alt-right, right, conservative, whatever it is they're calling themselves these days... I can't stay current anymore, so it's either "conservative or "Nazi". You can edit in your head if you so choose. He's not quite that stupid- nobody believed her but folks who voted for someone other than Obama. A backwards B gives it away pretty quick. It doesn't matter if he was right or wrong, so long as you were paying attention.
Oh well....Sorry Arpaio...you are a racist and a bigot. NEW Arpaio's team will put out statement asking media to stop saying he is racist; he's been distressed by mischaracterization of reports— Yvonne Wingett Sanchez (@yvonnewingett) August 28, 2017
Joe Arpaio is sub-human filth. ******** him. For once, I hope the media actually studiously disobeys the request and ramps up the heat, instead of their usual sucking authority cock.
See fake news, like that Muslim girl that claimed she was a victim of attacks but turned out she was just running away from home and this place was going crazy about it. False flags, #bothsidesdoit it seems.
Nah, it was me. Hey, I got it from yahoo beauty, I did not know they were a right wing wurlitzer. Gordon Hurd Yahoo BeautyAugust 20, 2017 https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/colorado-man-stabbed-neo-nazi-haircut-163146326.html
Some people are just looking for a fight. Why not just agree to meet somewhere away from innocent people and just fight it out? No publicity? Why bring shields to a peaceful protest? http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-berkeley-protests-20170827-story.html Always a few assholes that ruin the party. 901957792268918784 is not a valid tweet id But come on police, leave the poor dogs alone. 902244653289922561 is not a valid tweet id Dude (from motherjones) does have some nice videos of the San Fran thing. https://twitter.com/shane_bauer
