LGBT+ pride marches in US interrupted by neo-Nazis and stampede

Two separate LGBT pride marches disrupted by neo-Nazis, stampede

Separate   LGBT+ pride   marches in the US were disrupted on Saturday, one by a stampede triggered over fears of a shooting and another by one of America’s biggest neo-Nazi groups.

In   Washington DC , seven people were taken to hospital after fears of a potential gunman at the pride event sparked panic.

Hundreds of people were gathered at the Dupont Circle for the parade when people started running after hearing what they thought was a gunshot.

"As the officers were going to the scene, there was a crowd of people going away from it and some of the individuals in the crowd said there was a man with a gun and that someone had fired a shot," said Guillermo Rivera, a commander with the Metropolitan Police Department.

A man was taken into custody and is facing a gun possession charge, he said.

Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted that she had been briefed by police and there were "no shots fired".

Elizabeth Hernandez, 19, was among those celebrating in the city when she said she heard "pop, pop" and suddenly barricades were being thrown over and a crowd of people starting running frantically from the area.

"Everything fell and everyone said 'Run!"' said Ms Hernandez, of Falls Church, Virginia.

In   Detroit , an armed white supremacist group called the National Socialist Movement (NSM) descended on the annual Motor City Pride Festival, where they held placards, gave Nazi salutes and displayed armbands with swastikas.

Photos from the event, which was attended by thousands of LGBT+ supporters, showed a group of around 10 neo-Nazis marching surrounded by police officers.

Dressed in black with a number carrying firearms and shields, the NSM marchers tore apart pride flags and pushed over at least one counter-demonstrator. One even appeared to urinate on an Israeli flag.

“Literally f****** Nazis are at Motor City Pride right now, please be safe out there y’all,” one user tweeted on Saturday afternoon. “Even if they deserve it, do not engage. Our safety at our Pride is the most important thing.”

Meanwhile, in   Poland , central and eastern Europe’s biggest pride parade went ahead without major incident, despite rising tensions in the country over the rights of LGBT+ people.

Tens of thousands of people, accompanied by diplomats from the US, Canada and other western countries, took to the streets of Warsaw on Saturday at a time when the Polish government is depicting the LGBT+ community as a threat.

In a first, the Polish capital's mayor also participated. Opening the parade, Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski noted it is now common for cities across Europe to support pride marches.

"Not everyone has to go to the Equality Parade but everyone should respect minority rights," Mr Trzaskowski told the crowd from a parade float. "It's really important for me that Warsaw be open, that Warsaw be tolerant."

City Hall said some 47,000 people took part.

And what do we hear from them when it's likely a religious conservative alt-right Neo-Nazi? Nothing but deflection, distraction and claims about how there are hardly any of these kinds of right wing psychos.

You continue to blatantly misrepresent and twist what I said.

You found a grand total of 1 gay Nazi and he was killed, so the Nazis were far from being LGBT friendly.  LGBT people in Germany and occupied countries were rounded up as undesirables, given a pink triangle and put in concentration camps to be tortured or killed. 

One day in May 1933, pristine white-shirted students marched in front of Berlin’s Institute for Sexual Research – that safe haven for LGBTQ people – calling it “Un-German.” Later, a mob hauled out its library to be burned. Later still, its acting head was arrested .

When Nazi leader Adolph Hitler needed to justify arresting and murdering former political allies in 1934, he said they were gay. This fanned anti-gay zealotry by the Gestapo, which opened a special anti-gay branch . During the following year alone, the Gestapo arrested more than 8,500 gay men, quite possibly using a list of names and addresses seized at the Institute for Sexual Research. Not only was Paragraph 175 not erased, as a parliamentary committee had recommended just a few years before, it was amended to be more expansive and punitive.

As the Gestapo spread throughout Europe, it expanded the hunt. In Vienna, it hauled in every gay man on police lists and questioned them, trying to get them to name others. The fortunate ones went to jail. The less fortunate went to Buchenwald and Dachau . In conquered France, Alsace police worked with the Gestapo to arrest at least 200 men and send them to concentration camps. Italy, with a fascist regime obsessed with virility, sent at least 300 gay men to brutal camps during the war period, declaring them “ dangerous for the integrity of the race.”

The total number of Europeans arrested for being LGBTQ under fascism is impossible to know because of the lack of reliable records. But a conservative estimate is that there were many tens of thousands to one hundred thousand arrests during the war period alone.

Under these nightmare conditions, far more LGBTQ people in Europe painstakingly hid their genuine sexuality to avoid suspicion, marrying members of the opposite sex, for example. Still, if they had been prominent members of the gay and trans community before the fascists came to power, as Berlin lesbian club owner Lotte Hahm was, it was too late to hide. She was sent to a concentration camp.

In those camps, gay men were marked with a pink triangle. In these places of horror, men with pink triangles were singled out for particular abuse. They were mechanically raped , castrated , favored for medical experiments and murdered for guards’ sadistic pleasure even when they were not sentenced for “liquidation.” One gay man attributed his survival to swapping his pink triangle for a red one – indicating he was merely a Communist. They were ostracized and tormented by their fellow inmates, too.

Of course not.  But the math is obvious to anybody whose brain is in control of their emotions.  Thousands of people turn out for the pride rally.  The Nazis can only muster 10.  Yet some myopic morons that can't help but fixate on whatever shiny object is in front of them at the moment...because...."feelings".

So let's be sure we don't do something sensible like laugh at these assholes and point out the fact that the Nazis are actually the ones hiding behind the police wall.  Yes....that's right... the "tough guy" Nazis are afraid of the gay people.  Awwww.  Poor babies.  Is that man in the dress scaring you?

The Facts on White Nationalism

By   Robert Farley

Posted on   March 20, 2019

In the wake of the attack on two New Zealand mosques, President Donald Trump said he did not see white nationalism as a rising threat around the world, but rather “a small group of people that have very, very serious problems.”

Experts, however, say there are a number of indicators that suggest white nationalism and white supremacy — and violence inspired by them — are on the rise, in the U.S. and around the world.

  • The Southern Poverty Law Center reports a dramatic increase in the number of white nationalist groups in the U.S., from 100 chapters in 2017 to 148 in 2018.
  • The Anti-Defamation League reports a 182 percent increase in incidents of the distribution of white supremacist propaganda, and an increase in the number of rallies and demonstrations by white supremacy groups, from 76 in 2017 to 91 in 2018.
  • A study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies found the number of terrorist attacks by far-right perpetrators quadrupled in the U.S. between 2016 and 2017, and that far-right attacks in Europe rose 43 percent over the same period. Among those incidents, CSIS states, the rise of attacks by white supremacists and anti-government extremists is “of particular concern.”

The issue of white nationalism came to the forefront after a gunman opened fire at two mosques in New Zealand on March 15, killing at least   50 people.  In a   manifesto   posted by the alleged shooter, he describes himself as an “ordinary white man” whose goal was to “crush immigration and deport those invaders already living on our soil” and “ensure the existence of our people, and a future for white children.” In it, he answers the question of whether he is a supporter of Trump: “As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no.”

When a reporter told Trump on March 15 about the reference in the manifesto, Trump condemned the attack, which he described as “a horrible, disgraceful thing and a horrible act.”

The president  was also asked   by a reporter whether he saw “today, white nationalism as a rising threat around the world.”

“I don’t really,” Trump replied. “I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. I guess if you look at what happened in New Zealand, perhaps that’s the case. I don’t know enough about it yet. They’re just learning about the person and the people involved. But it’s certainly a terrible thing.”

Shortly after Trump made his comment, a reporter   asked  New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern whether she agreed with Trump’s belief that “he did not think white supremacy worldwide was a problem that was rising in any way.”

“No,” Ardern responded tersely.

On   CNN’s “State of the Union”   on March 17, Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib said Trump “needs to pick up the phone and call the Department of Justice.”

Tlaib, March 17 : There’s real data and information currently right now of the rise of white supremacy right here in this United States of America. He needs to look at the data and the information and the facts and actually listen and understand the tremendous responsibility he has in being our president, our leader of our country.

He cannot just say it’s a small group of people. There’s too many deaths, not only from the synagogue to the black churches to the temples to the — now the mosques. We need to be speaking up against this, and it has to start with him reiterating the importance of real information and data that says it’s on the rise.

You can’t just say it isn’t, when the facts say the complete opposite.

So, what do the data show?

Justice Department Hate Crime Statistics

Let’s start with the Justice Department’s FBI data on hate crimes, since that was specifically referenced by Tlaib.

According to the FBI, there were   7,175 hate crime incidents   in 2017, a 17 percent increase from   2016  and the third year in a row with an increase. The number of incidents in 2017 was also the highest yearly total since   2008 . About 58 percent of the hate crimes in 2017 were motivated by race/ethnicity/ancestry.

Digging deeper into the numbers, anti-black or African American hate crime rose 16 percent to 2,013 incidents in 2017; anti-Hispanic incidents rose 24 percent, with 427 incidents; anti-Arab crimes doubled to 102 incidents. Anti-Jewish hate crime incidents also rose 37 percent to 938 in 2017, but anti-Islamic hate crimes dipped 11 percent to 273.

Experts, however, caution that the FBI’s hate crime statistics are an imperfect way to track the rise of white nationalism. Not all of the hate crimes overall were committed by white nationalists (some of the documented incidents, for example, were anti-white). The data do not identify the perpetrators that way.

There was also an increase in the number of agencies participating in reporting hate crimes to the FBI and a subsequent increase in the population covered of 5.7 percent between   2016 and   2017 . So some of the increase is likely tied to that alone.

Issues also have been   raised   about inconsistencies in the ways different jurisdictions report hate crimes, which skews the data. There are clearly differences in reporting standards used by different agencies,   Heidi Beirich , who leads the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, told us. She   noted, for example , that there was just one assault reported as a hate crime in Alabama in 2017, compared with 242 in California — which she said suggests hate crimes are under-reported in Alabama.

Beirich said there is a lot of evidence pointing to a rising threat from white nationalism, but, she said, “I’m not sure FBI hate crime statistics prove the point.” She notes that a   Department of Justice crime victimization survey   in 2015 found “U.S. residents experienced an average of 250,000 hate crime victimizations each year from 2004 to 2015.” But the survey does not show trends over time, Beirich said.

FBI hate crime data “doesn’t fit into a neat package” when it comes to tracking the threat of white nationalism,   John D. Cohen , a former counterterrorism coordinator and acting under secretary for intelligence and analysis of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under President Barack Obama, told us in a phone interview. But Cohen, who also served in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence under President George W. Bush, agrees there are other, more telling measures.

“There is pretty broad agreement among law enforcement in the U.S. and the European Union that violence as a result of far-right groups, particularly white supremacists, is on the rise,” said Cohen, who is currently a professor at Rutgers-Newark. “It’s a growing problem. We are seeing more hate crimes and targeted attacks by people who identify with that ideology.”

Number of Groups Rising

The Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks domestic extremism,  last month reported  a 7 percent rise in hate groups in the U.S. in 2018, with 1,020 groups identified. White nationalist groups, specifically, surged nearly 50 percent, growing from  100 chapters in 2017 to 148 in 2018.

Last year marked the fourth year in a row that the number of hate groups increased, after a short period of decline. The rise, SPLC says, was fueled by   political polarization, anti-immigrant views and the ease of spreading those ideologies through the internet.

Beirich noted that Alexa web traffic analytics show the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer site now gets about 4.3 million page views a month.

“More and more people are interested in their ideas,” she said.

In an ABC News/ Washington Post   poll taken just after the Charlottesville rally in August 2017, 9 percent of the respondents said they thought it was   strongly or somewhat acceptable   to   hold neo Nazi or white  supremacist views. As  ABC News  reported at the time, that’s equivalent to about 22 million Americans.

Rise in Propaganda/Rallies

The Anti-Defamation League, meanwhile,   reports   that white supremacy groups have stepped up their propaganda efforts.

“ADL’s Center on Extremism (COE) continues to track an ever-growing number of white supremacist propaganda efforts, including the distribution of racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic fliers, stickers, banners and posters,” according to a recent   ADL report . “The 2018 data shows a 182% increase of incidents from the previous year, with 1,187 cases reported, compared to 421 in 2017.”

The group said that level of activity far exceeded any of its previous distribution counts.

The   ADL also reported   that the number of racist rallies and demonstrations rose last year. “At least 91 white supremacist rallies or other public events attended by white supremacist were held in 2018, up from 76 the previous year, with hate groups increasingly employing ‘flash mob’ tactics to avoid advance publicity and scrutiny,” the ADL reported.

“We are seeing an increase in the public expression of far right, white supremacist ideological viewpoints,” Cohen told us. “It is more open in its expression, both online and in protests like in Charlottesville.”

Other Evidence

Cohen said he prefers to look at the issue from the perspective of an overall threat assessment. In today’s climate, he said, it’s not just a matter of tabulating the number of members of various white nationalist groups. The internet and social media have changed the game. People self-connect with ideologies espoused by hate groups online. They often act independently of those groups, he said, though they may be inspired by their messages.

So while the number of white nationalists could have remained steady, the threat they pose may be increasing, Cohen said. Whereas people with these ideas used to be isolated geographically, they are now able via the web to reach people who are disaffected and mentally unwell, inspiring them to commit violent acts.

A November report called   “The Rise of Far-Right Extremism in the United States”   from the Center for Strategic and International Studies found that “the number of terrorist attacks by far-right perpetrators rose over the past decade, more than quadrupling between 2016 and 2017. … There has also been a rise in far-right attacks in Europe, jumping 43 percent between 2016 and 2017.”

“The threat from right-wing terrorism in the United States—and Europe—appears to be rising,” wrote the report’s author, Seth G. Jones. “Of particular concern are white supremacists and anti-government extremists, such as militia groups and so-called sovereign citizens interested in plotting attacks against government, racial, religious, and political targets in the United States.”

Another indicator is the perception among minority groups about the threat they face. Cohen pointed to a December 2018   report   from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights that surveyed nearly 16,500 individuals who identify as being Jewish from 12 European Union countries and found widespread fear of being targeted for harassment and attacks.

Trump may be correct that those who are members of white nationalist groups, compared with the overall population, are a “small group of people,” Cohen said. If one looks at the number of gun crimes in the U.S., for example, the number of violent attacks carried out by white nationalists is a relatively small subset, he said. But law enforcement officials are concerned about the rising threat of white nationalists, their growing influence through social media and the devastating impact hate-inspired attacks have on the public.

The House Judiciary Committee   plans to hold a hearing   in April on the rise of white nationalism in the U.S. According to the   Daily Beast , “the committee expects to bring in officials from within DHS and the FBI for questioning on the rise of white nationalism in the U.S and the efforts the agencies are currently adopting to combat it.”

The man is almost never right.... but....

  • The Southern Poverty Law Center reports a dramatic increase in the number of white nationalist groups in the U.S., from 100 chapters in 2017 to 148 in 2018.
  • The Anti-Defamation League reports a 182 percent increase in incidents of the distribution of white supremacist propaganda, and an increase in the number of rallies and demonstrations by white supremacy groups, from 76 in 2017 to 91 in 2018.

So.  Exactly.  A small group of people that have very, very serious problems. 

148 chapters of nutjobs around the country.  If they average 50 people per group (which I highly doubt), that's less than 7500 nutjobs nationwide.  Not enough to fill a high school football game in Texas.

That's funny. Don't sneak into my food plot, catch and release only at my pond, BYOB (or at least offer to BYOB), treat me with respect despite our differing views. Contrary to what the West and East coast media paints for everyone, you, and many others, might be surprised to find that, by and large, most country boys in Oklahoma don't give a damn about what someone else is doing. Whatever floats your boat. Work hard and play hard? You'll probably get along fine here. 

Brave? Maybe somewhere else, not in Oklahoma. Brave, or possibly cavalier, would be hanging a Hook'em Horns banner across the tailgate during OU/Texas week. Do that, and I'll admit that we do have some crazies that will put a brick through your window. Pride flag? Meh.

Sure. Don't feed the mouth breathers. I'm not certain how 10 idiots disrupt a gathering of thousands. Apparently, the person warning people not to physically engage them had the right idea. Let the morons be. They are there to get a rise from someone. Don't give them the satisfaction. Seems easy enough. The image of the guy pissing on the flag gets me. What the hell are they there in opposition too? Everything it seems. I'm not in the habit of researching nazi groups, but apparently:

one of America’s biggest neo-Nazi groups.

is around 10 people. Hell, from the accusation, I expected to read about hundreds or maybe thousands of these punks...nope...around 10. 

Candidly, I clicked on this to learn how the events were disrupted. Unfortunately, no details are given on the panic caused by alleged gun shots, other than people were panicking. I had to look elsewhere for more news on that.

The men allegedly sprayed his wife, Melissa Duffy, with mace after she bumped into them. Singh confronted the men, and was hit and maced himself. He then drew his gun on them.

I guess that's why there is not much on the issue in the yahoo story. Singh's reaction clearly uncalled for, but apparently in response to an assault on his wife and himself. The yahoo story leaves quite a bit to the imagination, calculated omission I'm sure. There are conflicting reports as well. Several of the stories indicate that a man watching the macing go down saw what he thought was a gun in Singh's bag. Nothing mentioned about him wielding the gun. I don't support or condone his actions. If he threatened someone with a gun, throw the book at him. 

The other disruption, apparently caused by around 10 nazis...again, not much info. Ripping up flags, pissing on flags. Not sure why they need to carry guns and shields, or really why they feel the need to be there in the first place. But, where's the story? Men showed up in opposition? That's not news. Hell, you might find more people outside of wall-mart, protesting big box stores, and harassing would be shoppers.

I hate revisionist history!

Those Nazis were not openly gay and proud of it.

The pink triangle emblem in the gay community was originally assigned to LGBT people by the Nazis when they were sent to the concentration camps as undesirables.  

The pink triangle was used by the Nazis in concentration camps to identify and shame homosexuals. This symbol, which was used to label and shame, has been embraced by the gay community as a symbol of pride.

However, in the 1930s & 1940s there was nothing celebratory about the pink triangle. Gays were forced to wear the pink triangle on their breast pockets in the concentration camps to identify them as homosexual to set them apart from other prisoners.

Triangles of various colors were used to identify each category of "undesirable": yellow for Jews, brown of Gypsies, red for political prisoners, green for criminals, black for anti-socials, purple for Jehovah's Witnesses, blue for immigrants, and pink for homosexuals.

The pink triangles were slightly larger than the other colored triangles so that guards could identify them from a distance. It is said that those who wore the pink triangles were singled out by the guards to receive the harshest treatment, and when the guards were finished with them, some of the other inmates would harm them as well.

At the end of the war, when the concentration camps were finally liberated, virtually all of the prisoners were released except those who wore the pink triangle. Many of those with a pink triangle on their pocket were put back in prison and their nightmare continued.

One of the groups that was targeted for extermination by the Nazis continues to be under attack to this day, not just verbally but physically, all over the world: homosexuals. The fact that gays were put in German concentration camps is not known by many. The stories of the survivors reveal an unimaginable cruelty and suffering. It is the same kind of senseless, irrational hatred that still haunts Gays, Jews, Blacks, and other minorities today.

Stephen Miller must have written this morning's Fox News talking points.

Omar, of course, isn't alone here. Even those close to Miller have made the same observation. Miller's own uncle has said his draconian policies would have doomed their Jewish refugee ancestors to death in pogroms. And actual neo-Nazis see him as advancing their goals: Andrew Anglin of the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer called Miller "the last person in the White House that has any sense," referring specifically to Miller's anti-immigrant agenda. That's been apparent to those who have worked with him, as well. A White House adviser, referring to images of families being split apart at the border, told Vanity Fair that "Stephen actually enjoys seeing those pictures at the border. He’s a twisted guy, the way he was raised and picked on. There’s always been a way he’s gone about this. He’s Waffen-SS."

He wasn't executed for being gay. He was executed because he was accused of trying to overthrow Hitler.

In preparation for the purge known as the Night of the Long Knives , both Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich , chief of the SS Security Service, assembled a dossier of manufactured evidence to suggest that Röhm had been paid 12 million Reichsmarks (equivalent to € 48 million 2009) by the government of France to overthrow Hitler.

I guess you don't want to post what you found eh?

Didn't I say prominent members of the Nazi party were gay before you started in with your I was being a revisionist bullshit?

Here you go...

Röhm was Hitler’s right-hand man as head of the Sturmabteilung (SA, the Brownshirts), the Nazi paramilitary wing. Instrumental in the rise of the party via the street-fighting and extra-judicial murders of the late 1920s and early 1930s, Röhm’s sexual orientation was no secret after the mid-1920s. Hitler either ignored it or said it was immaterial, depending on who he was talking to, including other Nazis. Röhm opposed his party’s stand on Paragraph 175 of the German penal code, which made male homosexual acts illegal. This made some German homosexuals think he might ultimately tone down the Nazi stance. That was always wishful thinking, but became especially moot after 1934’s “Night of the Long Knives,” when Röhm and others were massacred as Hitler consolidated his power. (Earlier, the Social Democrats, one of the few parties to campaign for the repeal of Paragraph 175, showed itself willing to gay-bait Röhm.)

Now you can go and try to spin what I said to get a up vote from Tessy 

Are you claiming that the pink triangle didn't originate with the Nazis as a way to identify LGBT people for abuse?

Photos from the event, which was attended by thousands of LGBT+ supporters, showed a group of around 10 neo-Nazis marching surrounded by police officers. Dressed in black with a number carrying firearms and shields, the NSM marchers tore apart pride flags and pushed over at least one counter-demonstrator. One even appeared to urinate on an Israeli flag.

So 10 neo-Nazis show up to face off against thousands of LGBT + supporters. WTF are they afraid of? The Nazis stood 0 chance against those numbers. The only reason they have relevance is the media gave them some.

Also, they were surrounded by police- but one managed to push over a counter protester w/o being arrested for assault. In Detroit, not likely. They urinated on and destroyed flags, how much do you want to be they paid for them? Again, Detroit police are not going to let them assault anyone and take their flags. 

But hey, mission accomplished by the assholes. 10 of them managed to panic and almost derail an entire parade of thousands. The media was there to give them full coverage, props, and stoke up the fear. Maybe the assholes will get 15 to 20 to show up for the next one thanks to the free publicity.

Because they are Nazi scum, and being unarmed isn't nearly as intimidating. Gotta give the media those photo ops.  Surprised they didn't give a complete breakdown of their scary weapons.  I am sure the assholes would have been glad to tell the press exactly how well they were armed- and of course they were all licensed.  Probably had cool names picked out for their weapons too. What a disappointment for them. 

They were surrounded by police remember? They weren't going to try anything. I remember the good old days when pukes like these were ignored; and the press wouldn't give them any coverage.

What the hell do you think they were there for? They weren't there to pick a fight with anyone that is for damn sure. Ten vs thousands. I don't care if they were armed, they had about as many police surrounding them as they had members. If they tried anything it would have ended for them, period.

Looking for more nazi scum to join their ranks?

What is so earth shattering about this? Yes, they are looking for more like minded assholes that are afraid to show themselves out of fear of repercussions in their personal lives, being outcasts, or generally getting the shit kicked out of them.  The media just proved again to everyone that 10 mean as hell, nasty, demon Nazis can almost shut down an entire parade of thousands- even with the police there to stop them! Just think what they could accomplish if they had twice that number for the next one. It is enough to make an asshole's head spin.

If they weren't there to pick fights and cause trouble then why bother showing up? Is anyone else enjoying watching Trump supporters explain and defend the actions of Nazis? Did they think that it was a racist cosplay convention?

Because there are so few of them that they cannot get attention in any other way than doing things like this. That is most of the reason they were there. Attention. And the media gives it to them on a silver platter.

I can only hope that they are publically outed and their cars license plates were photographed so they are all doxxed.  How many employers want staff who are members of the Nazi party?  I doubt that their customers would approve of their beliefs.

Well, there's that, I suppose. But more useful to the far left is that they get to magnify a problem that isn't all that great into something they can label everyone on the right with. That's why the media pushes it so hard. These Nazis are on the right of the political spectrum and somehow the far left thinks it's fair game to label everyone on the right as Nazis simply because they are on the right. The reality is that there are many different positions on the right, just like on the left. But who needs to be bothered with facts, right? Easier to just label them all Nazis.

1.)I wasn't labeling everyone on the right as Nazis.  I was referring to a handful of racist dirtbags that showed up in Detroit as Nazis. Unless somehow you were one of those few who were in Detroit then you have nothing to worry about.  I wasn't calling you a Nazi because I extremely doubtful that you were in Detroit or in D.C protesting a Pride event this weekend. 

2.) LGBT people aren't the far left, despite what you appear to believe. Is it a problem for you that others have equal rights to what you and I already enjoy?  Do you think that equal rights for them mean fewer rights for you?

Nazi's are assholes and pukes; but they have the right to protest peace fully like anyone else.  That includes any other offensive asshole racist groups out there as well. It is protected under law. It makes this country what it is. No one is forcing anyone to listen to it, or attend it.

It is the media that sensationalizes it.  They gave full coverage to 10 friggin Nazis. Talk about over blown.

Weren't there to pick a fight.  Right.

Nope. They were there for the free media coverage. Seems you haven't been to Detroit. They aren't known for being sympathetic to Nazis. Which is the reason there were more police around the Nazis than there were Nazi protesters. Now, if the LGBT pride movement and their supporters started a fight with them; that would have been even better. The police would have been forced to defend the Nazis, who they hate. The media would have eaten it up. It would have made the world news easily. The Nazis would have loved it.

Serious question.

Are you;

a) thinking these turds deserve no coverage at all, or;

b) embarrassed that these turds are, (for the most part), members of your party, and that's why you don't like them being covered in the media?

I think we both agree that these neo-nazi's are shit. I am just trying to figure out why you would be offended that these idiots are exposed in the media. That's all.

The media gave them exactly what they craved- attention. That attention will allow them to drag more of their assholes out into the open to join them.

Does it sound like I want more of them around? I want all racist scumbag organizations to whither away and die. The best way to do that is not grant them the free media sensationalism that will allow them to increase their numbers.

It is the media that shows individual racists assholes that it is OK to come into the light. There are others like them; that will support them; and there will be no repercussions to their actions.

But what the hell. Encourage the media to sensationalize the assholes more. I am sure that will diminish their numbers.

They can then blame it on Rump, cry that the Turd gives them a platform all while ignoring the fact that the extreme left has more in common with Neo-nazi's than they care to admit.

It's kind of unfortunate that we live in a world where a loud bang starts a stampede. I guess some of that is all the shootings we see and some of it is the world that LGBT live in. One day, I hope we can all be a little less nervous.
