I get that Spencer has said some really controversial and hateful things in his past, but hate will never cure hate.

Look up Daryl Davis - a black man who met with - and befriended - more than a dozen klan members, eventually getting them all to turn in their robes and quit.

The truth of the matter is, Daryl Davis's technique would solve so many of our problems and differences, but we are doing the opposite. The left's tactic of attack, ban and cancel only solidifies our divide on so many issues. The solution is to discuss and resolve, not ban and cancel. Also, forgiveness is essential, something that is mostly absent in today's society. Without an element of forgiveness, we will never resolve our differences on any issue.

Thank you!

Spencer literally led an effort to dox and harass a Jewish family in Whitefish. And then he was organize a march of neo-Nazis/white supremacists to the Jewish family’s house. That’s some straight up Kristalnacht Part 2 stuff. STFU and DIAF you soulless choad.

^^^The Thank you was meant for the last comment. Spencer did way more than "said some really controversial and hateful things..."

Shanah Tovah!

Sorry - you think now is the moment to forgive him why exactly? Has he taken some measure to earn forgiveness - or is this just because it's not nice when handsome white men face social repercussions for being Nazis?

Man, everyone in this thread sounds young. I say that because it seems that none of you remember who David Duke was back in the 80's/90's and how similar the coverage and response to Richard Spencer is.

Basically, Spencer is starved for attention and fame. Like Duke, they both use reactionary far-right politics to shock and titillate. Only real difference is that Duke managed to serve as a Congressman briefly, whereas Spencer can't even handle herding internet goofballs.

I'm 51 and remember Duke very well.

Both are dangerous, and both become more emboldened under Trump.

And I say this as a former R.

I’m 48 and remember David Duke. He was never a Congressman, he served briefly in the Louisiana state house. And the Republican Party fell all over itself denouncing him when he ran for higher offices than that. That’s what’s not happening now.

David Duke received 39% of the vote in the governor’s race in Louisiana in 1991. You are trying to minimize the amount of bigotry in that region. It was very, very bad and probably still is.

You wrote a whole lot of noise. Yawn.

I never said Republicans didn’t vote for him, they clearly did. That was the “Vote for the crook, it’s important” election. But George H.W. Bush and the entire national GOP gave him no support. The top of the party would react differently today. Slate’s Slow Burn podcast did a season on Duke, it was really interesting.

Leaving that kind of lifestyle is like leaving a gang. Takes a long time, is dangerous, and tarnishes you for life. I believe him, but anyone would be a billion percent justified in not associating with him. I wouldnt.

So he’s lying to try and have sex?

Wasn’t he one who claimed to be happily married? What happened to that? She didn’t like the white nationalism?

His wife divorced him. That’s in the page 1 update.

This makes me laugh almost as much as the video of trump walking around with toilet paper on his shoe. What an idiot.
