(21,137 posts)Did a quick search and the articles are all from right wing sites and of course RT was on it. The same words, as if they coordinated among themselves. Not one legit newsource but hateful right wing blogs. WASHINGTON examiner, Gateway pundit etc. No Fox though.
They really know how to spread their propaganda quickly.

edit: And I don't think it's going to work this time.

(1,037 posts)In fact, the guy did support Antifa, raged against Trump, posted about how he supported Bernie and Warren, and CNN has confirmed it all. Honestly, extremists really do exist on both sides (remember the self declared Antifa terrorist who attacked the CBP facility on WA?). I do not excuse right wing extremists one bit but it seems we have our own extremists as well. I am old enough to remember the murders done by the red brigades so I know left wing extremists do also exist and can be just as murderous in their pathology. Hate and extremism in all its forms should be the enemy.
No more excusing political violence even from our own side.

That troll is still allowed to post and spread misinformation on DU.
