No. You make associations with violence, you cite.

OK and Jiggy I think maybe might be close to the time when you read that article about the guy CNN found, what he did, and why they didn't disclose his name.

13ball you should really stop and consider your positions before just knee-jerking it off whenever you hear Wil or someone else you disagree with say something.

What CNN is doing is pathetic (and illegal according to some...haven't researched enough to assert this definitively myself). They're not going after him because he's racist, they went after him for creating that meme and they're using his past posting as leverage to intimidate and threaten him.

If CNN's goal was to stop people from creating memes that offend them (this is what you're supporting?!) then their action against this guy will hilariously backfire.

Citation needed for the bolded, and really for the whole thing. Which violent members of the left have been embraced by the Democratic party?

Then I'll bring up that Nazi means National Socialist Party and Stalin and Mao killed the most and you'll be checkmated. Let me save you the trouble.

Are you new to the internet?

The KKK and Nazis are right wing, stupid.

Sorry, still waiting for the citations on Dylan Roof being a political member of either party.

Apologies - Hodgkinson was not on the payroll, but he was a volunteer: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ign/102847514/

You should check your facts, moron.

You do know who Robert Byrd is, yes? Do you know what Nazi stands for? Do you know what the Klanbake was?

So you're retracting the claim that leftists actively keep violent members on payroll. That's good. Please explain how your two other links support the claim that leftists embrace their violent members.

Jiggy: you realize it's not 1924 any longer and that, after the civil rights era all those white supremacists and neo-nazis started supporting conservative movements and politicans, right?

For example: who did David Duke support in the 2016 election? Or Richard Spencer?

You think CNN gives a **** about the meme? They probably loved it.

Congrats, your post is even dumber than a typical wil post.

The Leftist movement caused this. Perhaps the Left left you, but this is the Left - period.

How about the violence during Trump's inauguration:

And that's really the point - the Left is ORGANIZING to cause violence.

Trying to paint the party that freed the slaves as racist, coming from the party of REAL racists is laughable.

There was no great switch, your arguments are bunk.

So? And right-wing extremists are actively right-wing. The claim was about extremists being embraced by others on their side of the political spectrum. No one is disputing the fact that there exist extremists on the left, just as there are extremists on the right. It seems clear to me that the overwhelming majority of people who embrace left-leaning political ideologies in the US absolutely reject violence and terrorism, just like the overwhelming majority of people who embrace right-leaning ideologies do.

I've never heard anyone claim that all gun owners are violent extremists.

I am not claiming that endorsement implies reciprocation. I am not saying that the Republican party is responsible for Duke's endorsement. I'm making a point about the political ideologies of KKK members and Neo-Nazis, and the fact that their ideology is not left-leaning by any reasonable measure.

Of course there was. I haven't even made an argument, because I don't feel like it's necessary. The history of the political realignment in the 60s is well known.

The progressive tradition runs straight from abolition to now. The most widely read liberal/progressive magazine today was the direct successor of The Liberator--both founded by William Lloyd Garrison. Maybe you should ask the Klan their opinion of the most recent Democrat president.

I think you're seeing a lot more actual violence perpetrated by Leftists, now just as in the past. The history of the Left is rooted in political violence (KKK, National Socialist Party of Germany, Stalin, Mao, etc...).

Do I think it's the majority of average voters, no? The majority barely care about politics to begin with. Then again, only about 1/3 of the populace wanted to fight the Revolutionary War.

Leftists actually had to be told by ethicists that it's not ok to punch Nazis:
