    <p>Thanks, Nick. Trump and his cronies want to equate Antifa with
      the KKK and White Supremicists to excuse their own views as
      "rational". NOT HAPPENING....</p>

        <div>I want to thank Tom Hansen for posted my Daily News version
          of this column, and also thanks to him for the passage from
          Wilson's blog that prompted the piece.  The long version

          <p class="MsoNormal"><span>A week
              after the Charlottesville tragedy, tens of thousands
              protested peacefully in
              Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, and Laguna Beach. An
              estimated 40,000
              showed up in Boston, and apart from 27 arrests for
              disorderly conduct, the
              protestors were peaceful. A small group harassed a man
              wearing a Trump hat, but
              the Associated Press reported that “other
              counter-protesters intervened and
              helped the man safely over a fence where the conservative
              rally was to be
              staged.”<span></span></span></p>

          <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Black-clad
              members of Antifa, a small anti-Fascist organization, have
              been responsible for
              disrupting dozens of right-wing talks and rallies across
              the country.  Antifa and peaceful protestors are not
              allies, whereas the LOS, the KKK, and the neo-Nazis
              coordinate their hate-filled
              actions. I join many others in strongly condemning
              Antifa’s attempts to
              undermine free speech rights.  <span></span></span></p>
          <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Charges
              that Antifa has committed violence against individual
              white nationalists have
              not been proved or are outright false. Snopes.com has
              shown that an alleged
              Antifa manual that urges violence and a flyer calling for
              the murder of white
              children are fraudulent documents. The anti-Semitic
              language in the latter is
              actually evidence that it was made by a white nationalist.

                              inability to use one’s understanding
                              without guidance from another. This
                              immaturity is self- imposed when its cause
                              lies not in lack of understanding, but in
                              lack of resolve and courage to use it
