Some troll(s), attempting to troll anti-fascists, spread rumours that Antifa protesters are going to rally at Gettysburg to desecrate the graves of Confederate soldiers. (there aren't any marked graves of Confederate soldiers at Gettysburg but that fact escaped the far-right fools)

The Gateway Pundit push the fake news story. Breitbart push the fake news story. Fox News push the fake news story. So anti-Antifa idiots turn up to counter a protest that never existed, and one of them accidentally shoots themselves.

No news has ever been fake because we can use these idiots as a stick to beat up all the other stories.

A bit like one of your previous posts explaining how everyone from alternative media watches Alex Jones on Info wars. :roll:

You're slacking, Charlie

No one believes anything anymore.

McDonnell can't admit to being a Marxist
Corbyn to being an Irish Republican sympathiser

Lies and deceit win the day, honesty became a word for losers years ago.

It all went downhill when 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' was introduced to the world. I have not known what to believe ever since.

It's a lot more horrible to be fascist than antifascist.

Depends on your definition of fascist I suppose.
Be it actual fascist (who you don't seem to see or hear from anymore) or the left's definition (little old ladies that read the daily mail)

Actual fascists, like the Ku Klux Klan (who turned up to this farcical demo), and over here people like the BNP, EDL and Britain First.

I've proudly stood with Antifa at counter-demos, and will do in the future. Our grandparents in the Second World War were Antifascists, it's only fair we continue to fight for them.

Bit of a difference between our grandparents during the war, and antifa if we are both being honest.
My grandparents certainly didn't go around spitting at, and hitting people with sticks for example, people who didn't share the same the same views as them.
I'd like to bet most people who were around during the 2nd world war would shudder at the thought of being likened to antifa

There is a difference. But there's also a difference between antifa and what the far-right likes to portray antifa as.

Buzzfeed also have a story about how NPR (a publicly funded radio channel often referred to as "liberal") tweeted out the entire Declaration of Independence and some Trump supporters got really angry because they perceived it as propaganda. :lol:

Buzzfeed might not be an organisation to take too seriously for serious news, but they do this kind of fun story pretty well.

In fairness anything remotely perceived as 'Anti-American' is unpatriotic. They are quite literally the most patriotic people for a country which has actually achieved very little. Kudos for the optimism!

It's somewhat ironic that they're craying against the document that made them a country, on the anniversary fo the day it was declared.
They also took particular offence at a section that said "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people", which is funny.

The deeper irony is that they didn't gain independence until September 1783, but in true American form. They never let the truth get in the way of a good story :lol:
