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."

    Some people need help with the whole "charity" thing. I daresay you might be one, oh Scroogely Buzzzard? Forceable help. Call it "tough love", or "deterrence".

    Uzzard's post history can more or less be summed up in four words: "Fuck you, got mine." Try it. Replace everything he says when he isn't joking around with "fuck you, got mine," and see if there's really any difference to the overall sense of it.

      See, posts like this only illustrate that you know fuck-all about me. I'll give a guy the shirt off my back if he needs it. I'll shoot him in the face if he tries to take it though.

        Looks like I hit a nerve there. Unfortunately, it still holds: your ideas of who might "deserve" said shirt are well in line with what the wealthy elite behind all this want you to think. You've been manipulated, too.

            You don't get to use words like "empathy." They shrivel up and die and turn into blasphemous zombie caricatures of themselves after passing through your lips, just like every good thing does whenever any self-serving shitstain like you tries to twist it for his own ends. Do you really think we don't, collectively, have your number on this site by now? And you're not even the worst of them...

              Fraid not, darlin. Remember that whole "stronger emotions" thing? Applies to empathy as well as anger. I just don't let my emotions override my rational mind. I know that's an utterly alien prospect to you but it's how you're supposed to do it if you want to be more than an animal.

                That's bloody hilarious. Your entire worldview is based on "muh feelz" and anyone who spends more than 5 minutes reading your posts can figure that out. Someday I hope someone manages to write the defining book on why your kind are so completely addicted to hypocrisy and projection. Something like The Authoritarians, but dopier, most likely.

                  Darlin, your every last position lets emotion win out over reason. Even dogs are capable of overriding their emotion and instinct with reason. What does it say that you're unable?

      It is also the calling of philosophers. We try to at least get people to be self-conscious about how they are living, and even possibly how their life affects others.

        Bzzzt! Philosophers try to teach others what they think is a better way to live. Tyrants try to force them to live how the tyrant thinks they should. One is helpful one is a human shitstain. I'm not surprised you can't spot the difference.

          After hiking for days we have finally found tracks from the elusive Projectus Conservatetia. It is an incredibly lucky find at this time of year because these delicate creatures spend their first few seasons storing supplies so they can have a kind of reverse hibernation. They are more active during the winter when predators are less active and the Projectus' naturally cold body temperature causes a light dusting of snowflakes to cover their tracks.

          This Projectus has left the safety of his subterranean lair probably due to a summer heatstroke they are quite susceptible to. We must leave the area quickly as further disturbances may cause undue activity that causes his body temperature to rise to dangerous, almost mammalian, levels.

            ... it was months before anyone passed down that trail again, but a search party was eventually sent when the erstwhile Social Justice Voyeur failed to return from his voyage. Shards of bleached white bones were found, but not even a single tarsal was left intact. The nearby villagers knew nothing of the SJV's voyage to that free and while land, but for years afterward the story was told of the horrible shrieking shouts and maniacal laughter that echoed through the forest that summer. It was a great time for White Rights.

            Sorry, not remotely a conservative. I think gay married couples should be able to protect their pot farms with their machine guns. Might have been witty if it were accurate though.

              Just, as the Nazis used to call them, useful idiots. You are supporting Conservative causes with your brain-dead libertariantardism, you are the Fifth column, and it pains me and many others that you do this as a Native American. My ancestors will be in contact with your ancestors. I suspect more than 70% of yours are Washita?
