Can I just say, fuuuuuuck whoever was interviewing this shitbag and giving him a platform?

I think what annoys my most about this hand wringing and “violent is always wrong no matter what mentality is that is equates all violence as the same. Clearly punching this guy in the face doesn’t really change anything, but sometimes meeting bald faced hatred and violence with peaceful resistance can reach a point…

THANK YOU. I always say it but no fucking god-damn way am I going to sit here and be tolerant of people’s intolerance. And people that advocate that are either trolls, naive or don’t understand the concept of the false equivalence in comparing defending tolerance with defending intolerance. ESPECIALLY the Nazi brand…

counterpoint! ;)

Your concerns are legitimate and deserve a thoughtful response. I think these are concerns that most of us are feeling. This is basically a real-life version of the ‘do you use a time machine to kill baby hitler?’ debate.

Fuck that. Make them afraid, make them violent, then make them dead. They’re Nazis, and you’re defending them. That’s never okay. They don’t get a defence. They don’t get an advocate. Nazis don’t get civil discourse, they get their head put into a bucket of urine and a boot on their neck until the bubbles stop,…

Please don’t speak for the entire left. I don’t feel better at all. I just feel glad that someone punched a nazi BEING INTERVIEWED ON NETWORK TELEVISION in the face to show it is not okay to INTERVIEW A NAZI on network television.

MLK still got assassinated.

I hope the next march is sprinkled with men and women cosplaying as Cap, just to strike fear into their Nszi hearts.

Not sure that was a felony. Also there are limits to free speech and one could argue Nazi Douche has called for violent acts.

Bravo. I love Michelle but go high doesn’t work anymore; you can’t shame the shameless.

Punching a Nazi is always okay.

I apologize in advance for being a pedant, but Trotsky never said that. He did write something similar though:

Richard Spencer’s hate tank, the National Policy Institute, is classified as a 501c3 tax-exempt charitable organization.

I’m over the idea that non-violence is the only path. I’m over the “Love Trumps Hate” and (as much as I love Michelle Obama) “When they go low, we go high”. It is not our job to roll over, compromise, always be nice, always be peaceful, always take what others have determined to be the high road. The intimidation…

He’ll tell his grandkids as they sit by his knees, slightly sticky from cookies and still enraptured even after multiple tellings.

You guys, it is totally not appropriate to be excited about Spencer getting punched in the head. Him getting punched in the balls would have been so much better!

Sorry. We’ve fought nazis in WWII. I have no remorse for a nazi getting punched in the face. They want to kill us. They want white male supremacy. I don’t have time for that kind of bullshit rhetoric and neither should you. Sometimes you have to fight. That kind of evil needs to be stomped out by any means…

It’s also perfect that he was punched the precise moment he showed off his Pepe pin. It’s like the antifa heard our prayers.
