The "hoax" was that #Charlottesville wasn't unequivocally a white nationalist rally (3rd in 5 mos) to unite Neo-Nazis and Neo-Confederates, where 1 person was murdered and 28 injured. Facebook took down the event page because it was so racist. Whitewashing that is wrong.https://twitter.com/scottadamssays/status/1121911567912583168 …

who did attend?
-
That’s the point. No one knows exactly who was there. It is reasonable to assume any large gathering in America has diverse opinions.
-
I’ve been to a football game and cared about neither team. Apparently by being there I’m a “fan” one or both teams according to some people.

Just stop. How to Fail at Everything was a brilliant book. Dilbert is rightfully an iconic part of the culture. And then you risk your legacy by doubling down on every ridiculous white nationalist and Trump defense that comes along. The wrong people are emboldened by this.

Anyone who starts a tweet with "just stop" doesn't have the intellectual capacity to understand Scott's point. An adult using the phrase "just stop" makes him sound like a stupid teenager. It reveals more about the person tweeting than it does about Scott.
-
Haha! Smart enough to think you're smarter than the people you tweet to and not smart enough to realize how improbable that is.

Not knowing the exact numbers doesn't change the fact that we have video evidence that there was a large contingent of open racists there. The argument against you, Scott, is that it is not possible to be a) a very fine person who b) saw that contingent and stayed at the protest.
-
By your logic all of the anti-racists there endorse violence against journalists (like antifa commits regularly)
-
Firstly, I do have some issues with the tactics of Antifa. And secondly, you're making a false equivalency. Murders committed by extremists in America over the last 10 years: Left-wing activists/Antifa: 3% Islamic extremists: 23% Right-wing extremists: 73%

I recall reading about some non-racist school teacher in the NYT who traveled to Charlottesville to support keeping statues. The day wasn’t founded as a racist event like it turned into.
-
That's factually incorrect. Regardless of how many non-racists turned up, it was organised by Kessler and Spencer - avowed white supremacists - with the explicit goal of uniting the white nationalist movement. Groups they involved in organising it:pic.twitter.com/YINSthAq6y
-
It is a frequent occurrence that people organize events for a day with other events.
-
Which other groups were organising events for that day? The permit for the march was specifically granted to Kessler.
-
I’d be willing to bet the Statue-Supporter types who showed up were tea-party type boomers who aren’t net savvy and had no idea other events ended up planning for that day.

Right, because regular Joes attend neo-Nazi-organized stuff all the time. Totally normal.
-
As well as antifa.

It's my recollection they co-opted an event in support of the monument.
