    If all you want is someone to concede that there are shit heads on all sides, then I'll be the first to do so. But the guy in this video isn't part of antifa and is trolling Fox. Also the Antifa group itself is the far fringe of the left and hasn't been welcomed into the mainstream with open arms like the alt-right has.

    Part of the problem of trying to anticipate the response to your post is you look like a complete moron when you don't get that response. I've never compared anyone on here to Hitler, nor have I labeled all conservatives this or that. In fact, there are some very reasonable conservatives here. Sorry that I don't fit into your stereotype of everyone on the left.

    That was my point the entire time. That standoff will lead nowhere, it will benefit neither party.

    Yes... as I stated a few posts above.

    A small price to pay to be relieved it doesn't happen.

    This "source" is like someone claiming to be in Isis, but speaking anonymously... and that Isis invented peanut butter. And everyone's freaking out about peanut butter.

    There's entirely no credibility in this person's claims. He won't even prove membership, let alone justification to speak for the group.

    The image IS casting them in the same light, and you're defending the edited image.

    In fairness, these people have had a hard-on for Antifa ever since they chased their favorite far-right pederast off of Berkeley's campus before he could teach College Republicans how to more effectively harass Latino students with bogus calls to immigration law enforcement.

    You interpret it that way. The image states that both statements are stupid. Which they are.

    Anything else comes from your interpretation.

    Also, way to completely ignore the rest of my post because it didn't fit your narrative.

    But the issue isn't that there are despicable people on both sides. The issue is that one party has welcomed them in and the other hasn't. That is where the "people of importance" part come in. You have public officials, media personalities, etc. siding with the alt-right. You don't have the equivalent on the left siding with the anarchist groups at these rallies.

    Okay, I give up. I'm talking to a bunch of walls. Rip each other's head off, for all I care. Y'all deserve each other.

    Nice job pulling out the "didn't fit your narrative" buzzphrase. In the future please feel free to form your own thoughts.

    Obstinance works both ways. You could try to understand the difference between the two sides without resorting to "both sides are equally bad."

    Pretty laughable indeed.
    You can see by this very thread that people fall for the dumbest hoaxes, have no media competence whatsoever. They believe any shit the alt right makes up to vilify an imaginary "alt left" to deflect from their crimes. As you have proven they even bastardize cartoons aimed at them because they can't stand the truth. There are many gullible and naive people who fall for this shit, the president included. That's why they're dangerous.

    The left fights for civil rights and equality, the right fights for racism, fascism and white privilege. There's nothing equal about them whatsoever.

    That's a problem if they left can't openly denounce them. I'll say it now, Antifa are the two sides of the same coin as Alt Right. They are violent and dangerious and make perfectly good peaceful protest bad.
    Okay well first of all the Alt Right is a political ideology while Antifa would be referring exclusively to a group of protesters.

    And the riots and violence that gets started by left leaning groups is typically denounced and gets its fair share of media coverage. The problem is, like OP's story, they can be fabrications or outrageously exaggerated more often than not.

    Killing defenceless animals because you think they are racist (lol) doesn't exactly make the other side sound sane either. It's not about who is the worst, it's like comparing, genocide to rape. Sure genocide is worse but that doesn't make rape anymore okay. They are both bad and should never happen, kind of like the extreme right and extreme left. Because thats what both sides have become in America, Extremists.
    If you read up, you'll see that it was an internet troll that put forth the "story" of the "racist horse". Fox took the bait and ran the story.

    You're giving ammunition to the extreme right by feeding the "both sides are equally bad" narrative. That is their tactic, that is what they want unsuspecting people to do. Nevermind that this story is fake.

    No worries, though there are sadly a lot of other people in the thread that doesn't seem to understand that this is fabricated nonsense. And of course a lot that believe it even in the face of contrary evidence, because they WANT to believe that "Lefties are crazy".
