Democrats plan events to boost support after Charlottesville
Associated Press, Aug 17, 2017

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic National Committee plans more than 160 events across the United States this weekend, aiming to seize on the outrage following last weekend's white supremacist rally in Virginia.

DNC officials have declared a "Weekend of Action" with a theme of "Rise and Organize."

A DNC statement says the plans are a response to President Donald Trump blaming "both sides" for the deadly violence that erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia. The event began with white supremacists protesting the removal of Confederate monuments. A young woman was killed when a man plowed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters.

A DNC statement says the best response is to organize more voters who back Democrats.

Something stinks about Charlottesville
American Thinker, Aug 17, 2017, Russ Vaughn

Evidence is turning up from, of all places, the Southern Poverty Law Center, as well as Breitbart and others, that this character, Jason Kessler, who organized the suspicious and supposed Alt-Right demonstration in Charlottesville, Va. that blew up in everyone's face, is a cunning lefty holdover from the Occupy Wall Street movement and a former Barack Obama supporter.  I smell Soros money, sabotage, and Democrat dirty tricks here.

<snip>

There's still not enough evidence on the actual violence, other than the schizophrenic kid who ran over the woman, to make any kind of assessment as to who did what in the confrontations between the right-wing demonstrators and the surprisingly strong counter-demonstration.  I have to wonder if this Kessler fellow, strong Barack Obama-supporter that he is, had a hand in making sure his Alt-Right marchers were clearly guaranteed to encounter a strong crowd of riled up counter-protesters as well.

Hey, RIV. I'm curious, ever get the feeling you're a lone voice in the wilderness? I wonder how many of your posts covering positive Trump news and events die a quiet death? Many, I would guess. Just an observation.

They tried something similar after Ferguson

 It didn't work for them as hoped
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Soros and the shadow government (aka Obama) are definitely behind all of the antifa violence, just as they were behind all the racial riots in Baltimore, Ferguson & Berkeley, etc.  They, like the Bill Ayers Weather Underground azzholes, want a full-blown revolution with THEM in the winners' seat when the dust settles.  And they are just getting warmed up, folks. 

It's a damned good thing that our side has been ginning up, arming up and preparing for this crap for the past decade.  Cause it's coming....fast and furious now.  Trump's election ....and the Demrat Party's loss was the only excuse they needed to let loose the dogs of war.  They are positively rabid.

You have black Senators calling for the assassination of Trump.  You have black activists calling for the slaughter of whiteys.  You have late nite talk show hosts and other media azholes saying things that equate to high treason.   It's the perfect storm of chaos that the radical leftists have been wet-dreaming about since even before the 60s. 

They better be damned careful what they wish for.

This is "never let a crisis go to waste".   While I wouldn't go so far as to accuse them of being happy that woman was killed, I think they otherwise were thrilled at the violence.

The woman's death may have been unplanned @Maj. Bill Martin ... but for them this simply became the lead sentence in a story written well before the event.

This is a dangerous tactic by the Dems.

I think they underestimate the common sense of most people.  More violence is sure to occur.

Totally on point, @XenaLee   It's been building and building and the recent riots have put them over the edge.

Because of some traitors on the Republican side, they think it's a good time.

Well, if it ever came to any kind of violent attempt to take over, the leftists are way in the hole.  Conservatives have guns.  The Police are on our side and the army would be also.

Of course, it won't come to that.  They are dumb, but not that dumb.

Please.....never underestimate the stupidity of the rabid radical left.   And....more to the point, never underestimate your opponent. 

Hell, even Rush alluded to the fact today (a first) that we "might" already be in another US civil war.  Might be, Rush???

They've been working towards that since the 60s (Weather Underground).  Same group is now grown and has raised demon spawn that are probably out there doing the same damage to our nation.

Let's go ahead and get this party started, if it's going to happen.  While I'm still relatively young enough to participate.  Enough really IS enough.

A good first step to diffuse this leftist created unrest would be for Trump to ban all demonstrations for a certain cool-down period.  Of course, the screams would be deafening from the media and Maxine Waters might even break her silence.

Freedom of assembly has always been a sacred right, but maybe now it should be put on hold for a while.

Permits were not even granted for most of the participants in Charlottesville.  The majority of the people just showed up but not out of love.

We cannot let this kind of thing continue.  It will get out of hand and worse stuff will happen.  We need to empower law enforcement with non-lethal but effective weapons like power hoses, mace, and even tranquilizer guns.

I'm glad you're ready to fight the good fight but it would be better to avoid it and declare victory.

BLM is having a rally tomorrow at Sam Houston Park, at the "Spirit of the Confederacy" statue.
If you've never seen it, it's no surprise. I came across it by chance after going to that park for years.
Its off the beaten path, kind of behind trees, not really hidden, but pretty secluded.

On a radio show this morning, the leader (who came from New Orleans 8 years ago, post-Katrina) say they won't tolerate violence at their rally, but yet they are calling the protest "Destroy the Confederacy".

The radio show host asked him why they take offense now, and not last year, or 8 years ago, or in 1964, etc?

I thought that was an interesting question....

I agree with your first paragraph.
I disagree with the second.

The crazier the left is (and they're getting traction from the Charlottesville riot), the bolder they will become.

Sooner or later, a leftist John Brown will rise... and raid.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but it doesn't look good right now.

I cannot believe they have the utter gall to use a good statement that Trump made about Charlottesville against him.  Oh, wait, I can.  They are utterly shameless and evil.
