Creating rumors and fake news about violence caused by outside agitators is a smoke screen to convince the public that a movement for social change is being carried out by some ill defined group with an evil agenda rather than people with legitimate concerns. This has been the case with just about every meaningful movement for social change from Women's Suffrage to Black Lives Matter.
The KKK died in the late 1960's. The 1968 democrat convention in Chicago broke the support of the Klan by the party. Without the support of the democrats, the Klan faltered. By 1975 there were more FBI infiltrators than actual Klansman. By 1980 the only ones in the Klan were pathetic posers.
They showed up at a KKK rally in Charleston and fighting broke out.
I don't think blatant lying really helps your case. Yes, I realize that lying is the heart of the left, but it does tend to make you appear a fool.
Of course there was no KKK rally in Charleston, nor in Charlottesville.
I think this is where Trump discovered them after he made his remarks about plenty of blame to go around on both sides which seam to lend support to the KKK. I believe that's when the anti-Trump stuff appeared on the Antifa web site run by an Oregon group.
Not only are you lying about what the event was, you don't even know where it was held, not even the state.
Trump was right to condemn both sides. You are insane to attack him for it. Trump was right that the overwhelming majority of protesters who were exercising the constitutional rights that you think are reserved for BLM alone were peaceful. There was no Klan presence. The SINGLE Nazi flag at the even was brought by an Occupy Wall Street agitator who was forced to leave by the crowd. Though every single little Goebbels of the Democrat Media Complex pimped pictures as if there were Swastikas everywhere. You are insane and evil for attacking the President for acknowledging facts. The democrats sent ANTIFA to start violence, and start violence they did.
A Ku Klux Klan rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, drew about 50 Klan members and supporters Saturday -- and several hundred counterprotesters, authorities said.
Disturbing footage has emerged of a so-called “warlord” handing out assault rifles in a six-block stretch of Seattle that has effectively become a lawless free-for-all.

War lord Raz Simone is handing out weapons from the trunk of his Tesla to at least one youngster to use against the enemies of his fiefdom.
How long are "good" leftists going to deny something bad is going on in the Seattle anarchy zone?

During his everything-is-antifa press conference, Barr insisted that the DOJ knew that antifa was behind every bad thing. That there is actually no such group as antifa isn’t a handicap for Barr, Donald Trump, and others who have made it the nation’s number one boogeyman. It’s Tom Cotton. It’s Lindsay Graham. It’s every Fox news and far-right radio host ever. They can kick antifa all day and never have to worry that the president of antifa, or spokesperson for antifa, or especially lawyers for antifa will ever show up to contradict even the most outrageous claim.
On Thursday, Attorney General William Barr stepped out to give a textbook non-apology apology by denying that there was any systematic problem with American law enforcement while saying that “it is undeniable that many African Americans lack confidence...

The real antifa won WW2. We called them US soldiers.
Read about Portland, Or. They have no issue with being called Antifa. I remember back during the St. Louis riots many claimed BLM didn’t exist. So, I am not buying into a far left wing nut website oped piece claiming they don’t exist.

Oh yeah, then it must be my imagination for what I am seeing in all of this looting, murdering, destruction and everything else involved in this bullcrap taking place. "People with legitimate concerns", do these sorts of things you speak of above ???????? Hmmm I learn something new here everyday.
I never said I was an abortion zealot just calling you out for one of your many lies. Seems you can't tell the truth but that's on par for a trumpturd.
But you are an abortion zealot. Promoting abortion is your #1 passion here. Still, the issue is your idiocy about Rudolf. I knew full well you Abortion promoters would pull him out, even though it's been 24 years since the last abortion factory bombing, once Rudolf was caught it ALL STOPPED, despite your blatant lies to the contrary. I said it in my post, You abortion zealots are as predictable as you are dishonest.
No, you pointed to a letter to the editor in the Los Angeles Times that referenced Rudolf and the abortion factory bombings, you lying, pile of shit coward.

So the little Goebbels said that 50 Klansman faced off against 1,000 ANTIFA terrorists.
Do you stick with that?
They lied that it was a Klan rally? Is that you're claim?
Let's see what radical leftist Time says?
{
Violence erupted in the college town of Charlottesville on Aug. 12 after hundreds of white nationalists and their supporters who gathered for a rally over plans to remove a Confederate statue were met by counter-protesters, leading Virginia’s governor to declare a state of emergency.
Clashes broke out between the white nationalists and counter-protesters; the “Unite the Right” rally at a park once named for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was deemed unlawful. At one point in the afternoon, a vehicle drove into a crowd of counter-protesters marching through the downtown area before speeding away, resulting in one death and leaving more than a dozen others injured. State police later reported the crash of a helicopter that was monitoring the events in Charlottesville, killing two troopers.
Clashes over a show of white nationalism in Virginia turned deadly

Wait? That contradicts the sleazy ******* liars of CNN, who should we believe? CNN or everyone on the planet with far more credibility? Face it, kids in Argentine ghettos will provide more facts than CNN.
Of course you ANTIFA terrorists were there to peacefully protest, because that's what you do.
Say, was the old man with the cane the democrat with a baton was beating to death wearing a Klan Robe? But you and the ******* liars at CNN said it was Klan Rally? You weren't lying were you?
I get it though, your side was just peaceful;
It was the Unite The Right rally, not a Klan rally - you're lying to smear those you hate. The violence was perpetrated by you terrorist **** democrat, and escalated to the point that two people died. FUNNY that ONLY the leftist killed by the car is EVER mentioned by the Democrat Media Complex, and never the old man beaten to death by ANTFA terrorists.
Antifa exist in same way that pro-lifers exist. Neither is a unified organization, they are hundreds of groups and organizations and millions of individuals. Anyone that opposes abortion is pro-life and anyone who opposes fascism is Antifa. Since fascism takes many forms so does Antifa. Many on the far left consider Trump a fascist and are trying to expose him. They are Antifa just as those that work to expose those they believe are Neo-Nazis, and Blacks protesting the fascist police policies, and segregationist in the Old South protesting the heavy handed fascist federal government, etc...
So I assume that all of those websites and Facebook pages (including the ones where they announce where they will be rioting) are the result of pixie dust and unicorn farts, right???
About a week ago when I first heard about Antifa, I did some research and found there was one site which laid claimed to Antifa. It was under construction and most of the links did not work. Today there are multiple groups claiming to be Antifa. Antifa is a pseudo name for anti-fascist. It exist in the same way that white supremacy or Neo Nazi groups exist. Antifa is a name for any number of anti-fascias groups. There is no such organization; that is there is no national headquarters, paid employees, nor any assets. If Trump continues to talk about it, I'm sure one of these groups will get it together and organize. Below is a fairly complete list of Antifa groups. As you can see antifa organizations include racist, anti-racist, religious, nationalist, and political groups with very different agendas and goals so it would be almost impossible to have a single organization represent them all.
The topic is specifically ANTIFA. NOT, a category list of antifascist organizations. Your attempt at deflection is disgusting. Yours is nothing more than as if someone asked for a list of the military. Thousands of military organizations exist for thousands of reasons. Now if I narrowed it down to the United States Army, the definition would be specific.
Individuals involved in the movement tend to hold anti-authoritarian[26] and anti-capitalist views,[27] subscribing to a range of left-wing ideologies such as anarchism, communism, Marxism, social democracy and socialism.[28][35] Both the name antifa and the logo with two flags representing anarchism and communism are derived from the German Antifa movement.[36]
[...] Movement structure
Antifa is not a unified organization but rather a movement without a hierarchical leadership structure, comprising multiple autonomous groups and individuals.[22][41][45] The movement is loosely affiliated[20] as it has no chain of command, with antifa groups instead sharing "resources and information about far-right activity across regional and national borders through loosely knit networks and informal relationships of trust and solidarity".[46]
Activists typically organize protests via social media and through websites.[47] Some activists have built peer-to-peer networks, or use encrypted-texting services like Signal.[48] Chauncey Devega of Salon described antifa as an organizing strategy, not a group of people.[49]
The antifa movement has grown since the 2016 United States presidential election. As of August 2017, approximately 200 groups existed, of varying sizes and levels of activity.[50]
[...]
First you say Antifa is not a unified organization. Then you call it a movement. And then say it's structure is identical to ISIS and other organization. If it's just a movement, how can it have a structure and how can it be identical to other organizations? That's nuts.
So I assume that all of those websites and Facebook pages (including the ones where they announce where they will be rioting) are the result of pixie dust and unicorn farts, right???

The structure is the same as ISIS, no uniforms, no formal chain of command.
What is your point? That they are a law-abiding, peaceful organization? If your point is that they are not a critical danger, then you are choosing ignorance and living in denial! You are dangerous!
My point is they are not an organized group. There is no national leadership and no stated national goals. They are an anti-fascistmovement comprised of a diverse array of autonomous groups that aim to achieve their various objectives through the use of direct action rather than through policy reform. They subscribe to a wide range of ideologies including, anarchism, communism, democracy, libertarianism, ,marxism, social democracy and socialism. They include groups such as Black Lives Matter, a leftist anti-rascist group, Three Percenters", a far right anti government group, the ARA, Anti-racial action group, the Black Bloc Activist, Direct Action Alliance, ect ... There are many other groups that arise and fall with the issues they protest. The only commonality, I have found in Antifa groups is their opposition to fascism and authoritarianism which can take many forms.

Yea, they could be a factor or not. One thing is for sure, they are not a national organization of any sort. Google Antifa and see what you find. You will find a defunk web site that's not maintained and rarely works, several explanations as to what Atifa is, some news media articles that say practically nothing, half dozen or so right and left web sites making all kinds of claims. What you won't find is Antifa. On facebook there are people claiming to be Antifa but far more just writing about. If Antifa was really an organization of any significance, they would have a working website filled with propaganda, a national spokesperson on cable news, fund raising campaigns, and membership drives. They have none of these because they're not a national organization or even a regional one. In fact, it's not one specific organization with a headquarters and a president and a chain of command. In a sense, there are plenty of antifa groups, but antifa itself is not a group. That description is largely in line with how federal law enforcement has interpreted the antifa movement. Whether you use the term Antifa, Commies, Anarchists, White Supremacist, terrorist, etc. you're not referring to any specific group or organization.
That's all filler blather. Antifa are not the Boy Scouts or Amway.
They are anarchists. The less publicly organized and known they are the better.
They are effective because they can't be traced down or burdened by your clubhouse rules.
