'Very fine people' do not participate in rallies with groups chanting racist and anti-Semitic slogans and displaying vile symbols of hate."

So just explain how "very fine people" run around chanting racist and anti-Semitic slogans and displaying vile symbols of hate? What did we do to the fascists during WWII??? Smell our own manure? What could the left have possibly done to equate itself to Fascism? Think hard before you try to explain...

The KKK was founded by Democrats. Socialism and Communism are Ultra-LEFT groups.

Your question is unanserable because of its contradiction in terms. "Very Fine" people are not racist or anti-semitic nor do they display vile symbols of any kind. The problem may be what is known as the 'scandal of the weak', i.e. you are easily offended by anything. Particularly when that anything is performed by those you dislike or disagree with. Your response is totally out of proportion to the cause.

=================
Therefore Rubio, Romney, Stivers, believe that these white supremacist don't have their first Amendment Rights? Did Rubio take away their peaceful right to protest? Went violent only when attacked by BLM, and radical left. These BLM's are the same people killing our police officer, calling them pigs in the blanket, kill them now. Is that what Rubio and Romney stand for?
Too bad, they always send me emails asking for donations to their causes for continuing their powers in Congress. I want them to see better and apply the First Amendment Rights to all. Don't be hypocrites! I condemn all kinds of violence. We must not perpetuate it.

I think you right wingers need to thank the ACLU for once more standing up for your hateful but legal right to express the hate your hearts are filled with..

this is part of a statement defending that action by the ACLU..



The ACLU has been here before.
In a statement posted Tuesday night, ACLU executive director Anthony Romero insisted hateful, bigoted speech must be aired.
"Racism and bigotry will not be eradicated if we merely force them underground," Romero wrote. "Equality and justice will only be achieved if society looks such bigotry squarely in the eyes and renounces it."
Saturday's carnage, and President Donald Trump's conflicted responses, have further inflamed America's racial tensions and show no sign of receding from public debate. The ACLU is under scrutiny now too -- as it has been many times before when interests of free speech, safety and societal norms collide.
RELATED: Here are the Republicans denouncing Trump by name
Stacy Sullivan, ACLU associate director of strategic communications, said Wednesday that Romero was trying to answer outside critics as well as ACLU board members, donors and staff working for racial justice and concerned about the representation of white supremacists.
In his statement, Romero referred to the ACLU's history of representing Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and other detestable groups through the years and tacitly acknowledged the current dissent within ACLU ranks over its litigation ensuring that demonstrators could gather last Saturday in a downtown Charlottesville park.

Romero's piece was posted Tuesday, soon after Trump had prompted public outrage with his remarks at Trump Tower in New York City about "blame on both sides." Trump's response to the rally of white supremacists and neo-Nazis has become arguably the most contentious of his turbulent seven-month presidency. He has been reluctant to denounce the white supremacists that started it all, instead saying there was blame all around.
The ACLU represented Jason Kessler, organizer of Unite the Right, as the group fought the city's attempt last week to revoke its permit to gather in a downtown Charlottesville park to protest removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The city had raised safety concerns about the number of demonstrators expected to attend.
US District Court Judge Glen Conrad, who rejected the revocation, noted that the city had left in place permits for counter-protesters near the downtown park and appeared to be targeting white nationalist Kessler for his views.
Some people, including Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, leveled blame at the ACLU for the resulting violence.
"The city of Charlottesville asked for that to be moved out of downtown Charlottesville to a park about a mile and a half away -- a lot of open fields," McAuliffe said on NPR Monday. "That was the place that it should've been. We were, unfortunately, sued by the ACLU. And the judge ruled against us."

Romero said he thought the Virginia chapter "made the right call here."
"Some have argued that we should not be putting resources toward anything that could benefit the voices of white supremacy," he said. "But we cannot stand by silently as the government repudiates the principles we have fought for -- and won -- in the courts when it violates clearly established First Amendment rights."
Romero referred to the ACLU's nearly century-long history of defending unpopular causes. One of the most prominent instances came in 1978 when the organization represented a neo-Nazi group that wanted to march in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, home to many Holocaust survivors.

Oh go fuk yourself. I'm a conservative so I guess in your pea brain that makes me a right winger. I have no, none, nada respect for those idiot white supremacist. Like I have no respect for you. You just lump all together because it's what you lefty POS do. I'm sure you'd have no problem with a Somali Muslim Protest in Minnesota protesting their right for Sharia law. The 1st Amendment is what makes us uniquely American no matter how much your UN-American ass doesn't like it. Honestly did you have a problem with BLM marching and calling death to police? I don't remember you complaining then. I imagine policeman everywhere thought that was hate speech.

Unfortunately, the ACLU, which I detest, is in the right in this case. This is a clear free speech issue and the alt right has as much right to demonstrate as any other ideology's adherents. The Charlottesville government is culpable for much of the violence by reneging on the agreed place to demonstrate and the police protection that was guaranteed. They made the agreement, issued the permit, reneged on the permit and were compelled by a Federal Judge to honor it and then reneged on their agreed place of demonstration and the necessary police involvement.

The riot was directly cause by the fascist left's deliberate provoking of armed confrontation a la Hitler's Brown Shirts. Their behavior was in addition to assault, a direct violation of the free speech rights of the demonstrators who had the permit. All the rest were rioting thugs.

We are all the recipients of freedom that the Founders created and died for all of us. We must be grateful to them. They abolished slavery in 1865. All men are created equal.

The Founders shed their blood, sacrifices, spent their fortunes, shed tears for creating this most wonderful land that we enjoy now. We have freedom. That freedom of life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. NOW YOU LEFTISTS, BLM, DEMOCRATS WANT TO KILL AND ERASE FROM HISTORY,THE ANCESTORS WHO SACRIFICED FOR THE FREEDOM YOU NOW ENJOY, even to killing police officers for arresting you committing crimes. All you do are violence against humanity. That is a fact. You are all DISGUSTING, UNGRATEFUL!!

You people are no longer part of the Republican Party you have convinced this country. Just with you're comment both sides and creating a new talking point of the Alt left.
The counter protestors were there and these Neo Nazies white supremacist showed up with guns, brass knuckles, bats and yelling racial slurs while carrying a Nazi flag. This country lost a whole generation of young men approximately 500,000 men fighting against that flag. It's a symbol this country fought against and you call out the counter protestors.

You sir have a real problem and should be deprogrammed you have free speech but there is such a thing as going to far. This is was the counter protestors had to look at
