Some additional reactions in the same CNN story :

"In my 47 years of association with @UVA, this was the most nauseating thing I've ever seen. We need an exorcism on the Lawn," Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics tweeted.

Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer released a statement referring to Friday's rally as a "cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights."

Gotta keep up those strapping young Aryan appearances I guess

Exactly how does someone "work on" being disfigured?

Can you believe that ? !!
If this is not evidence of their Nazi ways ... what is ?
Un-f**king-believable !
Complete disgusting scum of the Earth.
(Good find, once again Virginia. Thank you for posting it.)

Still using Tiki torches, I see.

There is video of these Nazis chanting : "One people, one nation, end immigration" & "blood and soil."

Blood and Soil (German: Blut und Boden) refers to a racist ideology that focuses on ethnicity based on two factors, descent blood (of a folk) and territory. It celebrates the relationship of a people to the land they occupy and cultivate, and it places a high value on the virtues of rural living.

Why won't Trump say Radical White Supremacist Terrorism?

Agree.

Former KKK leader David Duke invoked President Trump's name at this white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Can we now use the term "Deplorable Neo-Nazis" to describe the scum at this white nationalist, alt-right rally ?

[ProudModerate2]

Spencer's arrest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAVmiPyG3BY

If you listen closely to the video, you can hear the Nazis actually trying to convince the police that "we are on your side" and that the anti-rally protesters are the "enemy."
Of course the police ignore them.
LOL.
What a bunch of disgusting white-nationalist fascists.

Everything bad is Trump's fault and every speech by Trump is the worst one ever. Like any other day on Atlas. Reminds me why I seldom post here anymore.

STFU.
This speech was god awful and you know it.

I actually thought it was a very good speech, full of love and aiming at unity.

There isn't a smidgen of "love" that trump has for Americans or mankind.
The only love he has, is love for himself .... that narcissist clown.

[ProudModerate2]

I don't sympathize with the car driver at all. He ought to be locked up for life.
This incident is not, however, a validation of the leftist worldview.

Exactly this.

Thank you.

And the rally ? What about the rally ... what about that "incident" ?
You know the one where thousands of Nazis have gathered.

[ProudModerate2]

The worst part of Trump's speech, to me, was that he somehow managed to brag about low unemployment and foreign investment in what was supposed to be a statement about a conflict that culminated in a terrorist act. Everything is about him.

You are just now figuring-out, that with trump, "everything is about him ?"

[ProudModerate2]

The left seems to be hysterically obsessed with Trump, who condemned the hatred and bigotry espoused.

Obsessed ?
Do you mean like when the right was hysterically obsessed with Hillary's emails ?

[ProudModerate2]

Without the counter-protest nothing would have happened

LOL.
Are you for real ?

[ProudModerate2]

The Republican base isn't the Neo Nazi with the car. It's the asshole sitting at home who gets a small feeling of satisfaction when he hears the news.

That sounds like some Atlas members; some who are posting right now as we chat.

Yes, good comparison!

Thank you !

Extremely normal person behaivour to come into a thread about white supremacists and start yelling about people wanting reparations.

Yeah. I'm SURE David isn't at all racist. That's definitely the first thought I had!

Oh I know David is a racist from every time he talks about Palestinians. This is just the first time I've seen him nuzzle so close to actual white supremacy.

Because saying "reparations" -- payments from white people to black people based on race -- are racist = white supremacy? Atlas Leftists are getting more deranged by the minute.

How did reparations even come up in this thread?

I mentioned them as an example of why Trump is right when he says that the hatred and racism comes from multiple sides.

That is an ignorant excuse to somehow insert "reparations" into this conversation.
Why not figure out a way to also introduce little green people from Mars into the debate.

David Duke and his statement are ridiculous, stupid, and deserve to be taken with no seriousness.
Also, if you are referring to Bannon, he (wrongfully) has a seat, but he has no real control over anything in the admin (thankfully)

Considering that Duke has never much aligned with any Republican elected official like he has with Trump, it is quite telling. It doesn't matter how much control Bannon has, a seat at the table means something to the fringe in the proverbial sense.

Exactly.
With or without "real control" why would anyone with half-a-brain insert an individual with alt-right views (Bannon) into your administration ?
It's absolutely ludicrous !

Welcome to Trump's America:

Give it a rest already.

Those images hurt Sanchez's eyes. Stop posting the truth for the world to see.

[ProudModerate2]

DSA support BDS and are just as vile as -- and more dangerous than -- the organizers of the rally. Which doesn't excuse the latter group at all, btw.

How the hell are they more dangerous?

Well, they will soon be in power.

DSA are soon going in power? Uh, what?

In 2020 some left-wing Dem will win the presidency.

Especially if Pubs once again nominate Mr. Neo-Nazi-loving trump in 2020.

[ProudModerate2]

Wow, in just one photo, this picture captured everything trump is defending.
Looking at the image from left to right, you have a white-nationalist holding a Confederate flag, a KKK member in his red clown suit and a fascist doing the "Sieg Heil" Hitler salute.
I'm ready to vomit.

PS: What does the white star flag represent ? The one the KKK clown is holding ?

[ProudModerate2]

PS: What does the white star flag represent ? The one the KKK clown is holding ?

It's the "Bonnie Blue" flag, which some Confederate states flew in 1861 before they organized a national government with a flag.

Ah .... OK.
Thank you.
Here is a link in Wikipedia, if anyone is interested : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Blue_Flag

Here's a good point regarding Trump's statement from a well-known conservative:

OMG.
If you thought this couldn't get any worse for trump, check-out these tweets from KKK leader David Duke to donald trump.
Yes .... David Duke is pissed at trump for condemning the violence at this white nationalist rally.
Keep up the great work David Duke .... keep talking about trump. Everyone is making the connection between you two.
LOL.

In this same article it says ...

"Asked by a reporter in New Jersey whether he wanted the support of white nationalists, Trump did not respond."
