antifa confronts neonazis and racists. they protect counter protesters from being attacked. i'm glad they'll be there, and i'm also glad that the counter protesters and antifa will largely outnumber the unite the right group.

So if antifa confronts and possibly assaults someone who is not a neonazi or racist then it is bad, or do they simply identify anyone right of center as being a part of those groups?

Didn't the antifa "counter protesters" throw things at the police? I'll assume they were neonazi police then  I also believe they were interfering with a legal and permitted rally

maybe you should think back to who was brutally assaulted/murdered at the first unite the right rally.

Should it really be legal and permitted to walk around and say people of certain characteristics should die?

the counter protesters were clergy and citizens of charlottesville. antifa was there to protect them.

your response assumes a neonazi, the premise was a non neonazi, as you are fond of noting, your response irrelevant to the comment you quoted

Then why hide their identity and attack police?  Btw, aren’t Jason Kessler and Richard Spencer well known leftist?

Interesting, Kessler is purported to be an “Occupy” participant and a voter of Obama and Democrats in general, and Spencer supports much of the same things as Bernie Sanders.

Kessler and Spencer are most definitely not left at all, but Kessler is a resident of Charlottesville

So Democrat supporters who promote left wing causes are conservative?  Maybe they are just trying to take the Democrats back to their roots?  Btw, I believe some of the info on Spencer was provided by the SPLC.

I generally don’t, but many here do.  Are you saying the SPLC is wrong?  To me it seems like there are two leftist groups protesting each other.  Maybe it is a resultant of the identity politics the Democrats promote.
