Why should the President condemn free speech?


Not the speech, the violence. These guys came organized with weapons, shields, and helmets, and spoiling for a fight.


The poster only mentioned speech. Also, carrying weapons is a Second Amendment right.


The Second Amendment is not unlimited. Using guns to intimidate police and civilians can not be allowed. Trump needs to condemn the deliberate provocation of violence..

It's the only thing they've got. Pathetic.


Why put people down for being poor. Last time I checked both parties have put up candidates in the South.

LIFT. THEM. UP. The rest will follow.

Why did the Arkansas Travelers use it in their campaign for Bill Clinton?

Why are there Confederate symbols in the south? And why are so many of them from the 20th and not 19th century?


Comparing the Nazis to the Confederacy is just... stupid.

An antifa protestor dressed in all black violently stole a protestor's 4x6 AMERICAN flag. An American flag! That picture alone is worth a thousand words.

Antifa protestors were busses in to protest against white supremista. Bystanders should go home.

Charlottesville's timing to physically remove the statue couldn't have come at a more combustible time in history.



They should knock that terrible statue over and burn it. The only appropriate approach if they really want fire and fury.

The rally doesn't start until noon, and there has already been sporadic violence.

These right wing nut jobs with long guns should be arrested.

There's a big difference between NoVa and the rest of the state. Many of us would like to separate again (as was done with West Virginia), but that would leave a wealthy North Virginia and an impoverished South Virginia.

Unfortunately, NoVa is part of VA so it gets lumped in. It's like how conservatives deride all of CA for their liberalism even though parts of it are quite conservative.

As a former Californian, MD was as far south as I wanted to go.
