Re: No one?
Your quote is just a wild assertion. If there's anything more specific at the link you must quote that. I'm not reading it, it's your job to make your case.

There is no such violence by the right wing and if you've offered any evidence it's behind a link and I'm not going there. Quote it. Not generalities, specifics.
My girl comes out swinging.
But, you are well able to do your own research. You certainly have the equipment and the (screwed-up, miss-wired) intellect.
Oh, m’love, Regardless of ideology or worldview, the evidence is quite clear the right-wing is rising once again on this planet. And as in generations past, they are coming out violently.

Cut the assertions and generalities, as I asked. That's YOUR job, not mine.
No. Antifa is new and dangerous, and it's your job to make your case. And yes, research IS too hard for me.
The right wing who are rising are not violent at all, it's the Left that is violent, the right are the needed correctives to the Left that has been gaining in its evil power for decades now. Thank God for Trump who wants to restore our Constitutiohnal freedoms and the qualities that made America great, but unfortunately the demonic Left still wields a lot of demonic power to back their totalitarian ambitions that would put us all in mental chains and turn the country into a third world cesspool. What, you think you are high enough in the hierarchy to get yours over our dead bodies or what? No you are deceived like most of the Leftist useful idiots who have no idea what is really happening.

Ooo, that tongue! You have such a way with words.
It sits deep in the bowels of society for a generation or two (if we’re lucky) and becomes so infused in some corners of society that even the most wonderful little old ladies get absorbed.
What, you think you are high enough in the hierarchy to get yours over our dead bodies or what?
Well, that is one way to accomplish some things. We’ve had to go there before and, most unfortunately, looks like we’re going to have to go there again. Just gotta hope the damn bastards don’t take too damn much of the world with them.
If we’re going to crush them, the sooner the better. That’s just a practical thing. Limits the additional damage the planet would suffer on top of what we’ve already done to it.

Left-wing v. right-wing violence . At the link each incident is linked to details of the incident.
James Fields drove his car into a peaceful crowd in Charlottesville, backed up, and drove in again. He killed Heather Heyer and injured dozens. He was found guilty of murder by a jury of his peers, which recommended a sentence of life plus 419 years (for the other charges) and a fine of $480,000. He has yet to stand trial on federal hate crime charges.
His schoolwork clearly showed neo-Nazi beliefs.
GAO report 27-2300 COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM: Actions Needed to Define Strategy and Assess Progress of Federal Efforts includes a table of 59 right-wing violent incidents that resulted in death(s) from 2002 through 2015. I've extracted that table into Page Not Found and increased the text size. The last entry is:
"Anti-government survivalist extremist killed 3 at Planned Parenthood clinic including a responding police officer 11/27/2015 Colorado Springs"
Those are specifics. Let's see your detailed list of antifa incidents.

Re: No one?
quote:
That is a big fat lie and you can't name one such instance.
Harvard professor Cornel West, who organized some of the counter-demonstrators, said that a group of "20 of us who were standing, many of them clergy, we would have been crushed like cockroaches if it were not for the anarchists and the anti-fascists who approached, over 300, 350 anti-fascists". West stated, "The neofascists had their own ammunition. And this is very important to keep in mind, because the police, for the most part, pulled back."
Wikipedia Unite the Right rally
And to show one more example of what the Right was doing:
Twenty-year-old DeAndre Harris, a former special education instruction assistant from Charlottesville, was beaten in a parking garage in an assault that was captured by photographs and video footage. The footage showed a group of six men beating Harris with poles, a metal pipe, and wooden slabs as Harris attempted to get off the ground. He received a head laceration requiring stitches, a concussion, a knee injury, a fractured wrist, and a spinal injury.
quote:
Antifa always attacks people who are not committing any kind of violence whatever.
Please support this claim.
quote:
They actually have the nerve to accuse people who merely have an opinion they disagree with of committing violence simply by holding their opinion, and I don't even think they need ahny proof of that if the person is of a race or class they attribute such views to -- and no more than that in their sick minds justifies their physical violence.
Please support this claim. Bear in mind that Antifa is a loose alliance of groups who believe in active opposition to fascism and do not necessarily agree on everything.
quote:
They are dangerous nutcases and if you all agree with them about that you are the same kind of dangerous nutcases.
But apparently equally violent right-wingers must be shielded and protected. Why else are you so determined to cover up their crimes ?

Sorry for being so opaque, M'lady.
I was speaking about the insidious nature of the fascist violent values of the right-wing and what this world has had to do in the past to put them back down.

No. Antifa is new and dangerous,
Antifa is not new at all. Antifa groups are older than I am. They first appeared in the 70s in Germany and Britain and spread to the US in the 80s. All that's new is that the US media seems to have recently picked up on, and become obessesed with, the word, (and comically mispronounce it).
In the US antifa groups traditionally used the term less as well, probably because there was less of a tradition of openly fascist groups in the US. But groups like Anti-Racist Action were just antifa by another name.

I see. The Fascist values, however, are on the Left these days. We supporters of Trump want to preserve the freedoms America has always been famous for, but the Left is out to turn us all into zombies who toe the party line. They are totalitarian tyrants. That's fascism. And Communism. And Islam. And Roman Catholicism. It is not American conservativism.

Well I never heard of Antifa until they made the news for beating up people trying to attend a lecture at Cal, and then in other places and lately on the streeths of Portland Oregon IIRC. . And I don't know how to pronounce it and don't care. They say really really stupid dangerous things about the rightness of doing violence to people who are doing absolutely nothing but expressing an opinion they don't like. even killing them. How very Hitlerian brownshirtian. They should all be in prison for the indefinite future but such is our sick political climate these days that isn't happening.
In the days right after Trump was elected people merely wearing MAGA hats or shirts were beaten up by gangs, dragged out of their car and beaten up. I don't know if that was Antifa that early on or just Leftists, but the violence has been coming from the Left against innocent people since Trump won the election.
And to keep this all in context, I certainly wasn't saying there has never been right wing violence ever, I was saying the violence we are seeing in this political climate now is Leftwing.
