Hypothetical Queston About Charlottesville

Let's suppose, for the sake of argument, that there was no violence in Charlottesville on Friday or Saturday. And let's further imagine, for the same sake of argument, that there wasn't even a counter-demonstration against the "Unite the Right" demonstrations. Let's imagine that everything went off peacefully.

That would mean that there was a Friday night, torch light parade of 6,000 people chanting Nazi slogans, carrying swastika emblazoned flags and signs, marching through an American city, supported by the Ku Klux Klan.

You think, maybe, the President of the United States should have condemned that activity as dangerous and un-American?

I sure think so.

Which brings me to another question. If you support a Nazi-Sympathizer, does that make you a Nazi-Sympathizer, too.

"If you support a Nazi-Sympathizer, does that make you a Nazi-Sympathizer, too?"

Yes. That it the answer to this question. It may even make the Nazi-sympathizer a straight-up Nazi.
