Antisemitic rally touring Georgia

The left side of some people's brain is interpreting reality incorrectly and leading them to extremism, and they don't have the intelligence to catch the misinterpretation.

 

The fact that they’re allowed to continue with their fascism fest around the state without incident shows how much more tolerant Americans have become. Back in the 60’s someone would have run over them with a truck. Well, except in Georgia South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi.

 

Or a modified police car, especially if it was in Illinois

 

It seems like a really small showing here though, literally just a handful of stone cold degenerate losers. Not sure if everyone on the sidewalk is actually on their side, but even giving them that, it appears to be barely 10 people. Can probably find more Nazi’s protesting outside Disney on a day that ends in Y. Not exactly like the infamous “Unite the Right” rally which was surely into the hundreds of neo Nazi’s gathered.

Similar to the Disney Nazi’s. They are likely standing on a public sidewalk and thus not trespassing, so not many options.

 

My cheeky reference to The Blues Brothers movie aside, you are right about violent reactions. That's not the solution. But it is disappointing that there is not more widespread societal shunning. That would have definitely been the case earlier, when the memories of what the Nazis did were fresher in our national memory, and not some romantic notion.

 

As much as I hate to see any such protest I think this is hardly big time national news. You know CNN and pals are going to show the worst of it and none of the photos or video show more than 9 demonstrators or people standing by. They call it a rally, it seems to me a rally would have more than 10 participants.

Sorry Bling you beat me to it.

 

I hate Illinois Nazis.

 

My guess is somewhere there are all sorts of tiny groups holding silly protests of ignorance every day.

The fact that they are so tiny is what matters. These guys have no support outside of a few basement dwellers.

 

These small groups of losers have a lot of support within one of the US's 2 major political parties.

 

Whether or not it is statistically reliable, I like the point. For me, the best approach is to let them all speak and just ignore them. No reason to battle dumb words with dumb actions.

 

A lot of them were marching at Charlottesville, and one of them killed someone. It also took only one of them to kill a lot of people at the synagogue in Pittsburgh.

 

The simple fact is they have the same rights to free speech and assembly as anyone else (as despicable as they are). And frankly I’d prefer any Nazis especially ones who are rallying less than 5 miles from my house, as this was, show their face and not hide behind a hood. Let the world see who you are and what you stand for.

 

As a Jew who has lived in Atlanta for almost 50 years your comments on this topic are once again ignorant and overly generalized. Implying that everyone in the south was anti-Semitic is just silly.

 

Southerners fought with distinction in WW2. Nor do I think NAZIs were any more popular in the South than the North, in the 40s.

The "BUND" American Nazi party had more traction in the N than the S.

Once the nation realized that the war was less ideological (anti communist) and more about stopping a homicidal maniac bent on world domination, politics seemed to melt away in terms of the nations attitude.

However, I am not a scholar on this subject and welcome comment.

 

Yeah Georgia hasn’t been free of antisemitism by any stretch, but they have been a lot more to Erli t than given credit for. Part of that is because almost all the Jews there live around Atlanta which is relatively cosmopolitan and prosperous, but Georgina also had an elected jewish governor I think all the way back in the 18th century.

 

I hear where you’re coming from. Be nice to the Nazis and they’ll be nice to you. Good luck with that. I’ll give you the last word.

 

Come on … let’s not get silly

 

when logic and substance fail you (as they often do) you love to put conflation in other peoples mouths-this time by conflating my saying that your post implying that all people in the 60s south were anti Semitic was silly really meant my saying “be nice to Nazis”. It’s a laughably stupid position to take. But not unexpected.

And as someone whose mother and father, and grandparents, and their dearest friends, all lost relatives in the Holocaust in Poland, Germany and Czech due to Hitler’s sadism, my last word on this is that you can simply GFY. Be nice to Nazis are the last words that would ever come out of my mouth.
