Don't underestimate what's occurring here, and how dangerous it is.

The same was said about Trump throughout the campaign. Instead he was propelled into office!

So I'm assuming that you "might start having a little respect for him" starting now?

After he fires those like Stephan Bannon that he has hired I might have a little respect for him or I might not.

I have no use for people who employ White Nationalists.

Actually it was the white working class who felt abandoned by the democrat party. The same white working class that voted for obama.


the so-called "alt-right", how many people do you think that is.

define "alt right".

You mean like the history of the IRS attacking the KKK and how the IRS was found attacking right wing groups not that long ago using many of the same tactics?

Oh so now you are saying the klan is the victim? As far as your other comment on the right being attacked... load of whiny victimhood BS.

Was the IRS "attacking" the KKK the same way the KKK attacks black people?

No, but they did essentially rob the KKK to shut them down.

Good point. Why is Henrin deflecting the thread away from the KKK? The IRS has nothing to do with this discussion.

Yes, what the IRS did to the KKK many decades ago was not only criminal, but did in fact make a victim of the KKK.

Aside from you riding in as the white knight for the KKK... got any input on the actual topic?

And what does that have to do with the history of serious racial violence carried out by white supremacists?

Why, at the merest mention of a history of racial violence, did you feel the need to leap to the defense of a group of racist murderers over some tax bull****?

Why would I not? No one ever gave their money back or apologized in any sort of way for what happened. Just because they're a bunch of assholes doesn't somehow excuse what the government did to get their way against them.

Why would you not? I don't know, because it's not remotely relevant to this discussion?

White supremacists are gaining strength in the United States, but you want to talk about some decades-old tax nonsense. =

Actually it does. The reason the KKK lost their power is because of criminal activity by the IRS.

Are you sure it wasn't their own criminal activity? You know, all that murder and terrorism?

It has been going on in my country for decades. If it were serious, the seriousness of it would have appeared before now.

Yes, I'm sure. The IRS attacked them with the intent to destroy them.

Surely you don't really think its as simple as "there was a KKK, then the IRS destroyed them."

Are you asking us to pity the KKK? Because the IRS picked on them and took their money? Should we pity the mafia as well? Clever bookkeeping brought down Al Capone after all. How about Al Queda?

Or are you saying we should treat domestic terrorists different from foreign terrorists or even organized crime?

The law is the law. The IRS broke the law with what they did to the KKK.

Does anyone other than the KKK really care? You can chalk this up as one of those scenarios where all the other prisoners turn their backs as a trouble maker gets shanked for constantly starting ****. Meaning we all know, and we turned our back because it was convenient to do so for everyone involved.
