Neo Nazis and the Alt Right

And the results are already in on Issa’s investigation. Both sides are equally guilty - the Godchild-President is correct again!

Just saw an article somewhere about gay nazi groups in Russia, of which there are apparently more than one. The members even acknowledge they would have been killed by the original nazis in the 30s and 40s, but that doesn’t stop them at all.

It’s those Hugo Boss uniforms. It’s basically cosplay for assholes.

This is good news. I was just starting to rethink supporting this organization.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) took a new stance on firearms Thursday, announcing a change in policy that it would not represent hate groups who demonstrate with firearms.

ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero told the Wall Street Journal that the group would have stricter screenings and take legal requests from white supremacist groups on a case-by-case basis.

Not sure if it’s necessarily good news, but the ACLU isn’t exactly consistent these days anyway.

I feel the ACLU is allowed to change their pro bono representation rules from time to time. There are a lot of lawyers out there

This is amazing.

So, that Nazi with all the funds that vice interviewed, who was bragging about what a badass he was? Then was crying about how he might get arrested?

He was once interviewed by Steven Colbert, when he was just a random fat loser, with only ONE lonely gun, who harassed parking meter maids.

I like how Cantwell was shooting holes in the US flag there toward the end. Cognitive dissonance much?

Not at all. His beliefs are antithesis to everything that flag stands for.

James Murdoch (FOXA CEO) pledged $1 mill to the Anti-Defamation League today and had this to say about it:

[W]hat we watched this last week in Charlottesville and the reaction to it by the President of the United States concern all of us as Americans and free people,
[…]
I can’t even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists,” Murdoch said in his note. “Democrats, Republicans, and others must all agree on this, and it compromises nothing for them to do so.

Agreed, but not in his mind. These militia/white supremacists think they’re patriots.
