He sympathizes with the nazis, but does not want to admit it. So instead, he tries to distract us by attacking the victims of the nazis.

It's not working is it?

Hard to support the Town Moron's claim if you look at what I actually posted. Maybe you can help? How exactly do the following support his claim?

(I'll save this and copy / paste for all the similar brainless posts that will appear to follow)
I've posted that:
1. The counter protesters had every right to be there
2. There were a few troublemakers on the left (ANTIFA) who camped armed and looking to have conflict
3. The authorities were unprepared for the event in terms of both planning and execution
4. The local and VA State Police failed to protect the citizens from the violent alt right criminals
5. The alt right criminals are domestic terrorists who should be pursued with the full force of the federal government
6. The alt right criminals should be pursued with the full force of the federal government for federal civil rights violations
7. The people who were attacked by the alt right are certainly within their right to defend themselves and others as they try to withdraw from an out of control situation.
8. The alt right trespassers on the UVA green should have been removed by the police, arresting those who would not comply.

So you tell me...what in that supports the Town Moron's claims? I haven't attacked the peaceful counter protesters, just limited my criticism of those opposing the alt right who came armed looking for a fight.

Yet lying loons like Rebby the Town Moron keep making brainless comments like I quoted and the hive mind drools and cheers him on.

You couldn't make it up

US President Donald Trump has denounced the removal of "beautiful" Confederate statues amid a heated national debate about US race relations.

As a rule I am against destruction of historical artefacts, so I wouldn't support the destruction of Confederate statuary (beautiful or otherwise).

I would advocate their removal to less intrusive sites and their replacement with statues of abolitionists, slaves and Underground Railroad supporters and of course more recent proponents of liberty and the American way like Martin Luther King.

Funny. We didn't see any of these "It's history and important" arguments when East Europeans were tearing down statues of Lenin and Marx....

I'm waiting for anguished "They'll be coming for my Confederate wargaming armies next!"
I don't think it's unlikely that Gettysburg will be on the list next. Reenactors on public lands?
Not quite as likely will be going after wargaming conventions that allow Confederate armies. It won't be the convention itself, but the hotel or convention center. If the convention center has taxpayer funding...

I don't have a dog in those fights. Gettysburg is not exactly a sacred shrine to me, and my Rebel armies were for GASLIGHT games.
All I'm saying is that nothing will surprise me.

Those statues have been replaced by local "heroes", like Stepan Bandera...

Someone actually said similar (in not so many words) over on TMP (surprise!) and got shot down for being a ridiculous man-baby with no sense of perspective. :lol:
