    calling them terrorists is somehow not calling them what they are?

    Because I distinctly remember people having a conniption fit that the wasn't calling them "radical islamic terrorists"

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Common sense tells you that what's right is always in the middle. Don't give in to extremes and choose either racism or non-racism--find the middle ground. I think we can agree that both sides of this white supremacist issue are wrong and extremists. It's a complicated issue and one the President navigated well.

    If Trump really wanted to support these groups, he would have said nothing. Common sense.

    A white person isn't a terrorist! therefore this can't be labelled a terrorist attack!
    Why is this so difficult to understand for some.

    The driver, Fields is not even being charged with premeditated murder. The current charges are second degree murder. The authorities must know something to hold the back on the charge.

    If it isn't premeditated, it sure as heck can't be political.
    What do we have here?
    A twenty year old, who until recently had been living with his disabled mother.
    No father.

    It seems we see a lot a bad stuff from this "group" and it isn't political.

    Not true.
    Any white person claiming to be Muslim is a misguided soul who needs our love and understanding.

    From MarAzul's link:

    A photographer said he saw Mr. Fields on Saturday with symbols of Vanguard America, a group whose manifesto declares that “a government based in the natural law must not cater to the false notion of equality.” The organization denied any ties to Mr. Fields.
    ​
    It's odd that this terrorist organization isn't taking credit for this "act of terrorism."

    The actual terrorist organizations do take credit.

    “The driver of the vehicle that hit counterprotesters today was, in no way, a member of Vanguard America,” the group said in a statement on its Twitter account. “All our members had been safely evacuated by the time of the incident. The shields seen do not denote membership, nor does the white shirt. The shirts were freely handed out to anyone in attendance.”​

    James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio was charged with second-degree murder in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday after the authorities said he smashed a car into a line of cars in an episode that left a 32-year-old woman dead and injured at least 19 other people who were protesting a rally staged by white nationalists.​

    Focus on something that doesn't matter. See if I care. This guy may have seen aliens and heard voices if he is a schizophrenic as one of his teachers claimed. A white guy can be a terrorist. So what?

    Is this woman a terrorist and if so what difference does it make?

    Neither has a leader smarter than a box of rocks. So neither is worthy of the terrorist title.

    How about some happy news.

    Shonda Rhimes is leaving ABC for Netflix.

    She is one of the top two or three producers in Hollywood, IMO. She developed the series Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, How to Get Away with Murder, and probably a couple I can't name off the top of my head. She's living proof that skin color doesn't matter about anything that counts.

    The other two would be JJ Abrams and whoever it is at Marvel that is producing hit after hit.

    After the "DOJ Investigation" they will likely charge him with some sort of civil rights violation or something under terrorism and seek the death penalty.

    Alex Jones already told us it was a false flag operation, so this is not news. Try to keep up.

    I'm glad you hold the NYTimes and Alex Jones in the same light.
