Thought I would drop this here, since you guys seemed to have not noticed that a NAZI RALLY took place in America...
Charlottesville, Virginia (CNN)One person was killed and 19 were hurt when a speeding car slammed into a throng of counterprotesters in Charlottesville, where a "Unite the Right" rally of white nationalist and other right-wing groups had been scheduled to take place, the city tweeted on its verified account.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe had a pointed message for the right-wing groups that flocked to Charlottesville on Saturday: "Go home. ... You are not wanted in this great commonwealth. Shame on you."
In addition to the one death and 19 injuries in the car-ramming incident, the city said there were at least 15 other injuries associated with the scheduled rally.
Federal authorities said a civil rights investigation into the deadly crash was opened hours after it happened.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said U.S. Attorney Rick Mountcastle is leading the investigation and has the full support of the Department of Justice.
"The violence and deaths in Charlottesville strike at the heart of American law and justice. When such actions arise from racial bigotry and hatred, they betray our core values and cannot be tolerated," Sessions said in a statement. "Justice will prevail."
"The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence, and as this is an ongoing investigation we are not able to comment further at this time," said a statement from the Richmond, Virginia FBI field office.
"I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here. I urge all people of good will -- go home," Mayor Mike Signer wrote on Twitter.
White supremacists can claim to belong to any political party they want to claim, but they do not represent the whole of independents or republicans. That is akin to claiming the democrats embrace the KKK since Sen. Byrd, head of the KKK, was a senator for decades.

What is that supposed to mean? Of course we noticed. I was school shopping with DD yesterday and my son came home from the Air Force so I haven't been posting that much.

I saw that statement and chose to ignore it. It is an obvious dig at us.

As much as I hate white supremacists groups exist, I believe strongly about free speech. My understanding is nothing violent happened until the anti white supremacists crowd attacked the supremacists and then all heck broke out.

Only that this board seems extremely quiet about any politics that aren't liberal bashing.
No one seems to care that Mr. I-will-be-to-busy-to-play-golf has spent almost every weekend since taking office playing golf. . . Something you guys had an awful lot to say about when Obama did it.
Not a peep about an actual Nazi/KKK rally. With HUNDREDS of torch-bearing marchers.
Yes, when you guys are silent about this stuff, you ARE condoning it.
You want to know why this board is so quiet? Look in the mirror.

LOOK at the recent threads. A thread about how good looking a dictator (that may have attempted to tamper in our election) is.
A thread bashing a football player who attempted to start a conversation about race.
Not a peep about the constant chaos that is the current administration.
Nothing about how Trump called the White House trash.
Nothing about Trump trying to invite nuclear war over TWITTER, of all things.
OK? Thank God you are here to indict the board for not posting to suit you! Was there anything preventing you from starting multiple threads?
Oh, I left months ago. Just pop in occasionally to check in.
And I couldn't help but notice the recent thread line up, and how astounding it is. . . Both for what it contains and what it lacks.
The double standard is really astounding. . . When Obama was in office, there was a constant stream of political threads. . . He was criticized for everything from playing too much golf, to cutting in line at a BBQ, to asking a marine to hold an umbrella.
But since Trump has gotten into office, no one cares what the president does anymore, it seems.
So you have plenty of time to talk about the eclipse, a tv show, wine, what you ate for lunch yesterday, but are far too busy to talk about tensions with a hostile country that could lead to nuclear war.
Well I have adopted the approach of the Left. There is nothing but a big old SHRUG over the corruption of Obama and Hillary. How you ignored Fast and Furious. Didn't care that O told bold faced LIES over Ben Ghazi. How he ran our healthcare into the ground with his outright LIES about healthcare. His idiotic cash for clunkers. The disappearing billions for "stimulus". The billions put on a plan to Iran to hand over to a terrorist nation. If you only SHRUGGED about all of that, then why the hell should I care what Trump does? Shrug.
So you have plenty of time to talk about the eclipse, a tv show, wine, what you ate for lunch yesterday, but are far too busy to talk about tensions with a hostile country that could lead to nuclear war.
Good, glad we cleared that up
OK? So you are going to tell me what to post? Why don't you post the things you want to talk about?
Do you actually wish to discuss this topic or are you hear to make some statement? This was horrible and yes that killer should be executed. However, the left has to own their part for ramping up the violence before and after Trump's election. Plenty of blame to go around, as Trump said.
I saw the news yesterday. Tragic. Trump isn't trying to start a war with N. Korea over twitter. He has actually been talking with them as well as China.

There was plenty to bash O about. He nearly brought this country to ruin with his constant racist comments and ruining the health insurance industry. But I certainly don't recall anyone complaining about a BBQ or an umbrella although I did see a lot of that type of topics on FB. Perhaps you have your facts mixed up?
Please what other topics should we post so as not to offend you?

What the hell are you talking about??? We have a discussion about the crazy midget in NK. WTF do you think you are. You are acting like a troll. You came here just to try to throw insults. I do believe that is against the rules.

Hello Donna, hope all is doing well with you. Honestly I'm so sick of protesters that I didn't even read the articles on the new sites and until last night even knew who was protesting. Their wackos like the protesters earlier this year. The black lives matter started in President Obama's term not Trump's. Obama could have stopped the Ferguson riots by appealing to the citizens to let the investigation find out the facts before jumping to conclusions but he didn't.
North Korea has been testing missles, since Clinton. It didn't just started because President Trump is President.
Trying to brand some neonazi as part of the Republican party or conservative movement is just another flight of fantasy of the Left who like to pretend that reality is whatever they want it to be.
Dona, it was good to see you post, but you will find the uber-liberal minded people on another board, but not here.
All the drama leading up to the election could have been stopped by Obama, but wasn't.
Ferguson could have been stopped by Obama, but wasn't.
Bengazi could have been prevented by Obama and Hillary, but wasn't. Plus Hillary LIED about it.
Money for uranium deal could have been stopped by Obama, but he let Hillary do it anyway.
Obama KNEW North Korea had the ability to build miniature nuclear warheads but was to weak to stop it.
The list is longer, but what's the point. Liberals are unable to see that the ground work was laid before the election.
It WILL get more violent before it is over too.
Oh, and don't forget, a liberal fired the first shots of this new "war", wounding a senator at a baseball practice. I remember seeing on another site, that the liberals wished the senators had been killed! Now that is sick.
So, just go ahead and bash away.
I would much rather be called a conservative than a liberal anyway.
Oh, and I do not condone what happened yesterday in any way. I didn't learn of it until this morning since I have been traveling since Thursday! Had a great time at an outdoor hot air balloon festival too. To bad I have a life.

I notice that although Dona bashed us all for not posting about a news story yesterday she hadn't also. The is typical liberal nonsense. And I am PISSED she attacked us on this when SHE did not post the story for discussion. DONA is just another liberal looking for a fight.

Oh, good fvuck. People complain when all we post about is politics, and then when we post about other crap, people come out of the woodwork to post about how we're NOT posting about politics.
But here's the truth - I could give a rat's ass what someone who rarely posts here thinks, especially when she does it is nothing but finger wagging and bitching.
And as for the politics or no - people here have a hell of a lot more to do. Most of us have jobs and other responsibilities. And we've been pretty damn clear that we are fed up with the GOP. They have control of everything and are not doing a damn thing. It's frustrating as hell. At least Trump is trying, but with EVERYONE, including his own damn party doing nothing but twisting on their own thumbs up their asses - there's not much to talk about.

Actually that rally was not political and this situation is not political at. It is about a racist group legally marching and others protesting illegally. It's shameful and 3 people lost their lives due to it.

That is true. And it started because of the attempt to erase history.

Yep. So if one wants to politicize the situation all one has to do is look at the liberal left wanting to re make history.

So not to defend the supremacist groups, but did you know most were carrying guns? I listened to an interview with a local to me photographer today. Interestingly, not ONE fired their weapon. He went on to say that there were a lot of BLM members on the anti protest side, they had water bottles filled with sand and urine and were throwing them at the supremacists. There was a rumor that there were balloons filled with feces, unconfirmed. Again, I hate what the supremacists stand for, but the facts need to be reported w/r to the violence.

We could, but her motivation was it insult us all, even you Cheerios.. You are not a Trump supporter but in the end saw the light on what the liberal establishment was doing. You, my friend, have a brain. you don't have to like Trump but knowing what our political system had become and doing something about it means you love this country and "get" it. DONA does not get it and she won't until the dems take her family's farm away and then she will be begging for help.
