    I never said it was a Trump rally. Link to the post where Is said it was a "Trump rally". I'll wait.

    I made no assumptions at all. Just pointing out possibilities.

    And it's possible that they are actually PETA members who oppose hunting. And it's possible that they are actually white supremacists who are just having some fun pretending they are anti-bigotry. We can keep at this all day, Jimmy. But the reality is they didn't organize their rally under the Antifa name, they didn't call for violence as Antifa does, they didn't mask their identities as Antifa members do. It was nothing but a benign show of support for their cause, whatever it may happen to be.

    All true. Yet you still said very clearly they are not ANTIFA. You cannot support that claim.

    And you can't support my claim that you're NOT a white supremacist who supports the extermination of Jews. So I guess that means you are.

    I've been accused of that many times on this forum. I have more important things in my life too worry about than internet trolls that lady put when caught in lies though.

    Lie when caught in lies?

    You accused the organizers of a benign event of being with Antifa, and presumably organizing this event on behalf of Antifa, with no proof at all. Does that make you an internet troll that lies?

    Lol, okay so when you said the following it really meant nothing (like most of your posts)

    Wrong. You stated that they were not ANTIFA only because of where they worked. I simply pointed out that that is not good enough.

    Some random person on the internet saying something with no evidence to back it up shouldn't be good enough for anyone.


    In case you have missed the last year of politics, tricks like that is how Russia played without election.

    Just asking. Russia is still playing these people. It's all over.

    They just call it "fake news".

    There was a thread yesterday about Russian bots being behind a thread of Twitter or Facebook posts. Russians saw how easy it was to play mind games here, now every other country on the planet has the blueprint. It's only going to get worse, not better.

    I never said they were not Antifa "because of where they worked". Why did you just lie?

    I said Antifa organizes events under anonymity. I said Antifa participants cover their faces and shield their identities. The OP post a link to their advertisement about their counter-protest and decided they were Antifa with exactly zero proof. You jumped in and also decided they were with Antifa with exactly zero proof.

    You have to provide evidence that the two organizers of their event are with Antifa, and did it because they wanted Antifa-type violence. You have to provide evidence that they have a history of doing that. You can't, because they don't. They are humanitarians, and that is all anyone knows about them.

    My response wasn't directed at you, Aphotic - it was addressed at someone (Joe) who appears to be implying that violence is an acceptable response to speech he doesn't like.

    Like myself, you condemned the violent elements on both sides of the barricades in Charlottesville and I recognize and respect you for that. We disagree on many things but freedom of speech is not one of them. :beer:

    I agree with you.

    I saw this article about Petersen from last week:

    They're psycho alright.

    It's laughable how the people who claim to be against fascism have become the fascists they claim to oppose. If anyone deserves to get jacked up its the Internet Brownshirts issuing those threats.

    It's pathetic how few people are willing to listen but so many are willing to resort to violence.

    Sad.

    It's getting out of hand. Decent people have to start standing up to those cowardly snowflakes and their 'heckler's veto'.

    NO ONE tells me who and what I can and cannot listen to...

    Your BLOTUS has been pandering to racist nazi white extremists beginning with the speech he gave at the commencement of his campaign and it has never stopped.

    There are around 60 million racists who are white in the US. Yikes.

    So where are the words "That was a Trump rally" in that post? Surely they are in there. Point them out.

    In fact, point to any post in this thread or elsewhere where I called the rally in Boston a "Trump rally".

    How do you know she didn't beat anyone up? You don't.

    No, but I proved you wrong, so yeah...
