Quote:Giving a hate group attention by saying... THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT WITH US! Distancing yourself from a hate group should not require deep consideration. Saying, "I don't know why these white nationalists think they are part of the Republican party, but they're not," should be a good thing for their reputation. Like I said... this party does not represent me. They can continue to disintegrate all they want. They obviously know what they're doing.
This is a country that operates on a political party system, mostly a two party system. No matter how reprehensible you find someone, you can not deny them the same political access as every other citizen has a right to.
But just because this hateful group decides to align themselves with a party, it doesn't mean that the party as a whole accepts them or thinks like them, except to the nasty and small minded individuals who like to throw around claims of racist and bigot at anyone that doesn't agree with them. And really, who cares about losers like that anyways?
Quote:A video from a website whose owner works for a Hillary Clinton SuperPAC about an organization that wants to destroy the Republican party holding an event is your evidence that the "alt right" is integrating with the Republican party?
Would you like a tinfoil hat with you order?

Sure. Jonah Goldberg is an angry NeverTrump Pro-Hillary neoconservative desperate for attention. Jonah has been the target of negative memes because of this on twitter commentary, so he is grasping at straws to try and label his enemy and erode support for Donald Trump. Unfortunately for him, his enemy has no label and no organization. It is almost purely anonymous, always changing, and without face. The attacks get amplified the more he cries. Welcome to Trolling 101.
How old are you, by the way? How long have been using the internet?

That's actually a pretty good article that proves my point. Thanks for linking it. I hope you read it too and didn't automatically assume that Breitbart talking about the alt right gave credence to your argument.

Steve Bannon's own words give me all the credence I need on that front.
Faction. Fraction. Fine by me. The Republican party is a snake eating itself and has been for a while. Which is why we are where we are. Conservatives infighting with these Alt Right hate mongers who think they're slick because they can post offensive memes anonymously. Doesn't impact me at all. I feel bad for people who don't recognize the party they grew up loving who fear the Dems may take the presidency for the next 50 years.
