There is no defense of Nazis there. The ad - that video itself says - was not allowed on the air because of its Nazi imagery from 1939 - because the network said the imagery was bad, not good.

It no fair when the bullies get bullied! Bullying is wrong :cry:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I've never said the American far right is not fucking crazy. The moderate right, though, doesn't defend their actions, and doesn't afford them cover by inventing some moral justification to physically attack their opposition. The moderate left DOES give the extreme left cover, and they engage in Apologetics for asshat groups like ANTIFA nutjobs and they cheer over left wing shootings (a la Steve Scalise). When a right wing wacko goes off on a violence spree, nobody defends him.

That's why you don't have a "punch a commie" crowd, and you don't have "thoughtful" pieces in the Washington Post wondering seriously if, indeed, it is "ok" to punch someone out who you think is a Nazi, nationalist or "alt right." Everyone knows it's wrong to violently attack Communists, except where it is lawful to be violent towards anyone (such as in self-defense, and the like). Many of you think it's just fine to beat the hell out of MAGA hat wearers, cuz you just KNOW they're Nazis, or equivalent.

It's kind of like how the moderate Muslims give the extremist Islamists cover. That's what the moderate left does. They say, oh, well, the far left extremists can be forgiven for their violence, because they're fighting for the right team, against the oppressors.

No, bad because it was racist and Nazi imagery. At least that's what they said. There is nothing in that video which indicates that the video was not aired to protect right wing extremists from embarrassment.

That's OK, everything is Trump now. Even the FAA is Trump run. Trump did not want to crash planes so he FINALLY caved in. He is lacking officials.

This is the nature of the right apeing Trump. Abuse, belittle, and offend then act indignant and self-righteous when someone sticks it to them and demand accountability.
