Obama got it right.
Obama shares Mandela quote after deadly white supremacist rally
Former President Obama tweeted a Nelson Mandela quote condemning racism just hours after a white supremacist rally in Virginia turned deadly.
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion..." Obama tweeted, featuring a photo of him talking to small children of different ethnicities through a window.

I agree with your premise but when they try to oppress the other side's right to free speech, then I think they are just as bad.
When they revert to violence, then they are just as bad.

Apparently not the ones in Charlottesville today.

Whether you think they are right or wrong they were standing up to these white supremacist terrorists. The anti protestors are made up of every racial, ethnic, and economic background. True Americans!

Not if they are violent and try to keep other US citizens to take advantage of their 1st Amendment rights.
At that point, regardless of their ideas, they are just lawless thugs.
Certainly not true or good Americans.

White supremacists DO NOT HAVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO TERRORIZE AND INCITE VIOLENCE!

Seems we don't even have to do that. Just don't intervene and they will kill each other.
The fact is both sides seek the means of force and aggression to assert their will over the other. Both in their own way are detestable at the end of the day. This isn't about principle, it is about the ultimate holder of power and holding the position in society to dominate. The march for both is the theater on which to play out their drama. From this the only winners are the political opportunists who will exploit this for all its worth.
The initial evening demonstration was laughable and should have been ignored. Even more so when the likes of Duke and Spencer show up. These are media whores and when there is no media, there is no Duke or Spencer. The vast majority of people are well beyond all this and what's left of it is dying and accelerating in death. All this does is add a fresh bottle of O2 to the life support for this mindset. For the moment, this was a win for them.
Nice job!

Agree.
I urge you to read the First Amendment.
It contains nothing that allows any US citizen, including white supremacists, TO TERRORIZE AND INCITE VIOLENCE!

Best and most honest post of the day.
Now see Maka, your problem is that you're thinking like a good American. If you were from say, Georgia, and thought of yourself as a Georgian instead of an American then you would know that the correct response to Nazis and White Supremacists is to keep quiet and listen respectfully to what they have to say..

It's suppose to limit Congress but that hasn't worked out to well either.

Which is exactly what the white supremacists were doing.
Sorry mac, but if you see some sort of moral equivalence between racists and people who protest racists then you're just wrong.
