Pelosi doesn't want 'white supremacist' rally in San Francisco

[mojaveman]

House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi is asking the National Park Service to reconsider a permit for what she called a "white supremacist rally" set for late August in San Francisco, in the wake of last weekend's clashes in Charlottesville, VA.

These days anyone who doesn't tow the liberal line is a White Supremacist.......IMO it's all an attempt to rev up the voting base for the midterms.

IMO the strategy goes way beyond that & has been in progress for quite some time.

Without a doubt, you can see the strategy in play everywhere you turn.

For quite sometime TPTB have been picking and choosing what they uphold. The Constitution is subject interpretation with the change of each and every administration and court case.

I live in the South and believe our interests were more damaged by the rally in Charlottesville than anyone else. Most Southerners are proud of their heritage but now everyone is only talking about these knuckleheads. White supremacy...that's the focus now, not heritage or actual history.

California is a great place to hold a white supremacist rally. With few exceptions outside the major cities, rural farming areas and the mostly inner city enclaves of mostly poor and forgotten blacks, Hispanics and Asian folks, the whole rest of the state is populated with white folks who have a clear dissatisfaction for anyone but themselves.

Why I'd bet good money that Nancy and Barbara live on a street in a community with less than 0.0001% minority residents. They probably also hire out cleaning and landscaping to them other people that have to live elsewhere.

California - home to celebrity movie stars and boutique shops with a penchant for upperclass white folks! (aka SNOBS)

Totally agree. I grew up in the South taught not to hate anyone because of their skin color. The KKK and other groups like them have been a thorn in everyone's side since Reconstruction.

Before history is torn down, burned and forgotten let's all just remember the Southern Democrats are the party who brought us the KKK and Grand Dragons and revered in Jefferson, Jackson, Lee and many others who gave us the Civil War to keep and maintain slaves as a birthright.

I wonder what Fort Bragg is going to be renamed to soon?

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you".... Yep, KKK and stupid Nazi's are nothing but a bunch of Clowns and "F-Tards". Oh and throw in those idiots like the Anarchists and Antifa POS. The "far-left" fanatical groups are just as bad.

My mom is from Virginia, and she never had a racist bone in her body, and all of us were taught to respect all people regardless of skin color; or we would get our ears boxed. It is a shame that we are slowly losing our past and our history because of misinformed individuals and these groups of driveling ass clowns. Next thing you’ll know they will be tearing up the graveyards.

They will have to start with the one in General Lee's front yard. What's that called again? Oh yeah, Arlington National Cemetery.

all of these statues that serve simply to raise a torch in support of some blind and subjective ideology should be torn down...
...they are just statues from Americas evil past and they should be erased from history

Patriotism is racism!

Can we start with the higher educational institutions like colleges and universities founded by slave owners and civil war leaders?

I think it's fair to say that a mob chanting "Jews will not replace us" is white supremacist. I don't think it's partisan hyperbole.

This is a complicated issue, and there isn't an easy answer. I think the radicals on both sides of the aisle are engaging in an "arms race" of sorts, only their ramping up their activism, sometimes violent, in support of their agenda. This whole Charlottesville shit is a reaction to what the radical left has been doing on college campuses and in cities for the past few years. The voices of the moderate and reasonable are increasingly being drowned out by both sides.

Yeah, the 1st Amendment is sacrosanct. But the SCOTUS has ruled that speech that can be construed to incite imminent lawlessness is not protected. Whether or not the events in Charlottesville can fit that definition, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. But when protestors show up wearing helmets and tactical gloves I am naturally cynical when they purport to have "peaceful intentions."
