From Raw Story

The National Park Service has approved an application for a year anniversary commemoration of Charlottesville's violent white supremacist rally to be held in Washington, DC.

DC's WUSA9 reported that NPS approved the application but has not yet issued permits for the rally set to be held at Lafayette Square, a seven-acre park just north of the White House. The event is to be organized by Jason Kessler, the organizer of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was hit and killed by an alleged white supremacist.

"This year we have a new purpose," Kessler said, discussing the upcoming rally. "That's to talk about the civil rights abuse that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last year."

Kessler claimed it wasn't his fault that "that stuff happened," and said that in the months since the rally ostensibly intended to "defend" a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, "white civil rights" have taken a hit.

"We're not able to peacefully assemble. We're not able to speak," he told WUSA. "I keep telling people if your right to rally and your right to protest means that someone else's life might be in danger, then it is no longer free speech but it is hate speech."

    Your analysis was shockingly lucid and insightful there for a moment. Of course you made a point to ruin it at the end, but I still gotta give you one on this.

    "A smarter person or organization would leverage SJW bullshit like a Judo throw and have a rally where "All are welcome" and then have constructive Whites find common-ground with any detractors."

    Aside from not thinking this is 'sjw bullshit' but quite the opposite, I agree. Genuine actors who are not retards would be using just this tack, whether they find themselves on the left or the right. When I see, instead, both alt-right and ctrl-left acting with all appearances of being deliberately divisive, I wonder myself. Is this stupidity, or is it subterfuge? If the latter, are these paid agents, or individuals personally motivated to cause destruction and suffering for some reason?

    So you're not a Rabbi yet but that *was* some sharp thinking.

    Modded up. The alt-right vs. ctrl-left joke was good wordplay. SN has a serious wordplay fetish but I'm less about wordplay as I am about raw force, but that was a good one. By the way, I will never be a good Goy. Besides that crypto-Jewish girl I blew six loads in during Christmas of 2014, I have yet to meet a Jew who isn't condescending and with an aire of superiority over the Goys. I do acknowledge that the Jews are fiercely cunning opponents, however. Game on.

      Thank you, I didn't come up with the term, I have no idea who did, but the moment I saw it used I loved it. Captures the situation quite pithily, I think. Two bands of lunatics fighting over the wheel while the rest of us look on in shock and horror.

      When you say you will never be a good Goy, I wonder what do you mean exactly?

      Do you worship idols? Curse G-d? Claim to be above the law? Do you commit murder, adultery? Do you steal, or eat flesh torn from a living animal?

      I'm guessing it must be the adultery, none of the others sound like you.

      "I have yet to meet a Jew who isn't condescending and with an aire of superiority over the Goys."

      Well, look at the stats, isn't it justified?

      >:)

      Sorry, couldn't resist.

        The proper command is ctrl-del-alt-right. Just saying.

        or eat flesh torn from a living animal?

        It's much worse than that. EF eats flesh torn from a living Jew, and washes it down with hard liquor.
