PS there were thousands not tens of thousands of people there.
What is it with republicans and exaggerated crowd size?
That's a joke people.
Watch the videos in the Op...a gentleman says that 40,000 people took part in the counter-protest, not me.
Most media reports that I have seen said at least 15,000 people took part. Here's one...
The Associated Press estimated the counter protester crowd size at 15,000 people, according to ABC News
Crowd Estimate
I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure personally.

This is inflammatory speech.

Surely you're not putting everyone on the left into ANTIFA are you? No that would be equivalent to putting everyone on the right in the KKK. And everyone knows that's not true either.

So ... let me get this straight ...
The thousands of folks who chose to 1) assemble and 2) speak their minds are against the Constitutional rights of 1) assembly and 2) speaking publicly?

Tolerance for intolerance is not acceptable. No apology needed.
So you are for the mob mentality and against the Constitution?
No wonder you guys are getting scared. The pendulum is swinging back and ya'll are so scared you are willing to burn the country to the ground rather than think logically and stop the insanity.

The goal and purpose of the white supremacists is to take away Constitution rights of a huge group of citizens in this country. When a group's purpose of organizing is to take away Constitutional rights of others I'm sure that group is entitled to have Constitution rights. If the purpose of the group is to undermine the Constitution isn't some kind of breaking the law?
It's really simple argument to say you have to protect other's free speech even if you don't like what they are a saying. This is not simple political opposition speech. This is taking away the Constitutional rights of others speech. I think it has to be handled different.
I get you right wingers have your panties in bunch over the 40,000 protesters. Only 10 or so your white supremacist friends showed up. But keep trying to undermine the Constitution but try not to be upset when the objects of the hate group show up in mass.

So smart guy, you tell me what is the purpose of the white supremacists? Or do you lack backbone?
