That neither happened at Charlotteville, nor was Richard Spencer there, nor did I see any Trump signs. There is no reason other than personal bias to associate the Charlottesville Nazis as Republicans.
Sort of reminds me of that Portland train stabbing where people just assumed that guy was a trump supporter but it turned out not to be the case.
Or the psycho who shot up a bunch of people at a gay night club and turned out being a registered democrat.
That some people still blamed conservative Christianity for a heinous crime committed by a Muslim Democrat was a bit ridiculous.

Dance around that all you want. I have and will stand up for their right to march publically under a flag which is so odious. But that doesn't mean that I"m a) pawning their behavior off to conservatives in general or b) trying to deprive them of the right to free speech.
All it means is that if you foist your opinions on the public, you should expect that people may not agree with you.
I welcome their marches. I want the public to understand that they exist and aren't just phantasms of snowflake imaginations. They are real and they need to be countered. Let them march and announce themselves, and let the chips fall where they may. I bet the American public will mostly refuse their agitprop.
Well said
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
