It’s Wrong To Physically Attack People For What They Say, Even If What They Say Makes You Very Angry

I hate Illinois Nazis. I also hate Nazis in the other 49 states. What a bunch of complete losers. Even if one of these Nazi cosplayer pinheads hadn’t murdered someone in Charlottesville this weekend — and Virginia has the death penalty, so I hope James Alex Fields enjoys the feeling of that cold, cold needle going into his arm before they stop his heart and his cowardly, miserable life — even if the violence hadn’t escalated, these guys would still be pathetic.

I agree 100% with everything actor and straight-shooter Michael Rappaport says here. (Although you shouldn’t watch it if you don’t like rude language, because there’s plenty of it.)

These dorks are ridiculous. They’re weak and stupid. They don’t like the way their lives are going, so they blame everybody but themselves. They latch onto a failed ideology that a lot of Americans bled and died to defeat. They think it makes them tough and strong, but they’re just little boys playing make-believe. They’re not Nazis, they’re nobodies.

The same goes for Antifa. They call themselves “anti-fascist,” but they use fascist tactics to try to silence people who say things they don’t like. Then they rationalize it by saying it’s “self-defense.” I’m sorry, but this isn’t self-defense:

You can yell and scream at these guys for their stupid flags and salutes and “14 words” and all their other garbage. You have the right to talk back to them. But beating them up is wrong. It makes you as un-American as they are.

This is wrong:

This is wrong:

You have the right to be angry. You do not have the right to attack people, no matter how angry you are.

Trump made a vague statement about this madness. It’s not enough. He needs to call out both the alt-right morons and the Antifa dummies by name. And if he refuses to, he deserves the criticism he’s getting for it.

Political violence is wrong. It doesn’t matter how you justify it to yourself. It doesn’t matter how many memes you post of cartoon characters punching Hitler. If you take the law into your own hands to silence people, no matter how repulsive you find the things they’re saying, then you’re no better than they are.

But of course, it’s America in 2017, so being against political violence somehow makes me a Nazi sympathizer. It can’t be that I’m just tired of all this shit.

All this over a statue. A statue. It’s an inanimate object and it can’t hurt anything but your feelings. And on the other side of that coin, tearing down a statue isn’t an attack on the Master Race or whatever these imbeciles think they are.

Just stop. All of it. This is insane. Stop. Please stop.

Update: Andrew Anglin and the Daily Stormer have the right to be miserable pieces of ass-hair dandruff. And their ISP is under no obligation to help them spread their hate.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
