#1 I fail to see what was despicable in Trump's comments - multiple parties behaved badly and information was not yet complete enough to say more.

#2 In 1976, he voted for Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall in the presidential election.

The Disposition Matrix, informally known as a kill list, is a database of information for tracking, capturing, rendering, or killing suspected enemies of the United States federal government.[1] Developed by the Obama administration beginning in 2010, the "Disposition Matrix" goes beyond existing kill lists and is intended to become a permanent fixture of U.S. policy.[1] The process determining criteria for killing is not public and was heavily shaped by National Counterterrorism Director and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John O. Brennan.[2]

#5 There are millions of Muslims in USA, and Trump is supposed to pee his pants over a few hundred Nazis?

#6 Link to RANGER's #4. Worthy of a reading.

#7 I await with anticipation similar denunciations of black, hispanic, etc supremacists.

What? you tell me they don't have a very good case. That can't be true.

And I'll note the irony of Germany eliminating the Jews who were instremental in Germany's scientific and technological success.

Be careful what you wish for.

#9 Time to report a huge, large-scale hate crime.

#11 Lone Ranger- Nice column. However, it's Charlottesville, not Charlotte. May want to fix that typo to avoid any potential confusion. Godspeed.

#12 Hmmmmm....Communists and Nazis fighting in the streets while an ineffectual central government simply marks time, along with local authorities supporting one of the groups whose aim is to take down that national government. I've seen this movie before. It didn't end well for the audience.

#13 I fail to see what was despicable in Trump's comments -

I completely agree with President Trump's comments, and admire him for originally standing up to the mob. Mr. Brennan is despicable.

#14 What I like about Trump, is he fights.

He said what was true that day and the swamp took this as the opportunity to pile on him, because no one will defend nazis.

But we can't spare this man. He fights.

#15 The PC police got all over Trump's case because he told the truth. That tells me something. The focus of the Charlottesville story should not even be Trump. In fact, Trump should not even be a part of the story. It's all about commies and nazis doing what commies and nazis do and the police standing down to let it happen. For anyone to say any differently is a damn lie and I'm getting really sick and tired of all the lies.

#16 The questions about paid agitators and Kessler's involvement with Obama and the Occupy movement will NOT be investigated by MSM. They will not even be mentioned. Therefore, if anyone raises these questions in polite society they will be ridiculed as kooky conspiracy theories of the alt right. That's what they do with the Seth Rich story. That's how it works.

#17 Classic projection. Brennan is the 'national disgrace.'

#18 I didn't see anything in Trump's comments that could be construed as a "national disgrace."

A hundred or so neo-Nazis-- that's 100 people out of America's population of over 300,000,000-- put on a peaceful demonstration, and our entire political class goes ballistic? I smell a rat...

#19 Only 100 Nazi protesters? Few of these accounts mention much about the role of AntiFa in their reporting. The lame stream media who report (or distort if you will) and amplify these events by putting them in the echo chamber to bounce around for awhile have a role in causing this riots. The MSM still have big megaphones. The small splinter groups who perpetuate the violence, say to themselves "That was successful, look how much publicity we got." Let's do it again. And thus, in a way, the media causes these events to happen again and again.

#20 Sure were more than a 100 tiki torches. Question is, how many Nazis? 100? That has to be less than 10%.
