Joe Biden: 'We Are Living Through a Battle for the Soul of This Nation'

Sounds to me Biden is advocating violence or at a minimum giving it a wink of approval

The former vice president calls on Americans to do what President Trump has not.
In Charlottesville, that long trail emerged once again into plain view not only for America, but for the whole world to see. The crazed, angry faces illuminated by torches. The chants echoing the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the 1930s. The neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and white supremacists emerging from dark rooms and remote fields and the anonymity of the web into the bright light of day on the streets of a historically significant American city.
If it wasn’t clear before, it’s clear now: We are living through a battle for the soul of this nation.
The giant forward steps we have taken in recent years on civil liberties and civil rights and human rights are being met by a ferocious pushback from the oldest and darkest forces in America. Are we really surprised they rose up? Are we really surprised they lashed back? Did we really think they would be extinguished with a whimper rather than a fight?
Did we think the charlatans and the con-men and the false prophets who have long dotted our history wouldn’t revisit us, once again prop up the immigrant as the source of all our troubles, and look to prey on the hopelessness and despair that has grown up in the hollowed-out cities and towns of Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania and the long-forgotten rural stretches of West Virginia and Kentucky?
We have fought this battle before—but today we have a special challenge.
Today we have an American president who has publicly proclaimed a moral equivalency between neo-Nazis and Klansmen and those who would oppose their venom and hate.
We have an American president who has emboldened white supremacists with messages of comfort and support.
This is a moment for this nation to declare what the president can’t with any clarity, consistency, or conviction: There is no place for these hate groups in America. Hatred of blacks, Jews, immigrants—all who are seen as “the other”—won’t be accepted or tolerated or given safe harbor anywhere in this nation.

Joe Biden is scum, which has been obvious for decades from his performances on the Judiciary Committee.

I'd pay $1000 for a free swing at that stupid fricker.

When Biden says it, I know it's not true.

that stupid son of a bitch is too goddamn blind to see that the Reds have as much or more hate and violence as Nazis or the KKK

None of those groups face any widespread hate.

He certainly knows, not that it will make a difference when addressing the public.

As you well know, the purpose of that statement isn't meant to be truthful, it is meant to create a moral division. Opposition to his statement - even if it is untrue - automatically puts someone in the camp of actually condoning that kind of behavior. Again, this isn't the way things actually are, but that is the purpose.

I wish these racist oppressive old white men would step down and allow a more deserving person who has actually been a victim before to take their place. Lead by example Democrats!

When those opposing are Anarcho-communist violently repressing political speech, the President is correct.

But he's not calling them anarcho-communists. He's calling them the opposition. In the way that information is consumed by most folks, this is a very important omission. 'They' don't seem to want people to have a serious understanding of what is actually going on.

Does Biden have any clue that he is the enemy of "this Nation"?
Posted on 8/27/17 at 6:46 pm to Rakim
I agree with that basic sentence, but probably not what he meant by it. We're at a crossroads between violence and civility. The Left until recently has been responsible for almost all of the violence, but the far Right are beginning to use their tactics as well. Identity politics are the enemy, and we need to crush it in its track.

I don't disagree, but this is the million dollar question : how do we crush it? This has basically become a game theory defect/cooperate scenario in which it makes sense to defect.

Words of wisdom from America's pervert.

Well for starters, the MSM has to stop covering for Antifa and BLM when they get violent. They should call them out non-stop whenever violence starts. Instead CNN is now saying that it's justifiable to assault Nazis, which will make the actual Nazis more violent as we saw in Charlottesville. The key to winning is discussion and not be silent even when people on your side of the argument are being violent.

Good luck with that. What if they are implicitly supporting them by this non-coverage? What is the solution then? How do we stop mass dissemination of false information?
