Twinmold 09/01/17 3:05:52 PM #56:	Aaand you just employed a weasely method to imply that I'm a white supremacist sympathizer. I guess you don't really have an issue with words being deceptively misused after all. And many conservatives show a surprising amount of concern for the safety of nazis rights and ideologies. I wish they would stop posturing, and pretending that they aren't just racist towards blacks, and spiteful towards Democrats. That's what all of this is. It's posturing. Not every conservative is a Nazi. That would be a blatant misgeneralization, but a hefty portion harbor a lot of racial resentment, even if they would deny it to high heaven. I think a lot of conservatives see these nazis and white supremacists as part of "their team." They may not want to show them around town, but they get awfully defensive when they're attacked. --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. - Mark Twain <cite>Twinmold posted [p:885849726] in when did c...

When I oppose the "punch a nazi" movement that may look like concern for their well being to people who don't understand the value in free speech. They defend Nazis in a way they would never defend communists, Islamists, BLM, Antifa, etc. Twinmold hit the nail on the head. They see Nazis/white supremacists as people on "their side", even if they may not personally like them. Hence they defend them. Enemy of my enemy and all that. This doesn't address my post at all so I'm wondering why I'm even quoted here. When Antifa calls everybody to the right of Hillary Clinton a nazi I'm going to take notice. It doesn't have anything to do with me identifying with actual nazis. Leftists are the ones grouping nazis in with me. The amount of projection from the left is staggering.
