Again, just to be clear. The Neo-Nazi-KKK-White National
racist march to defend Confederate was an evil that must be reprehensible to
all Americans. I mean these guys actually were more concerned about a public
display of their racist ideology then legitimately protesting the historical
cleansing of American history.
David Horowitz points out the racists legally applied for
and obtained permit to march publicly. The Antifa/Black Lives Matter Communists
did not have a permit. AND the Charlottesville Police made zero effort to
enforce the law when the Antifa/BLM Marxist/Black Supremacist supporters
counter-protested illegally without a permit.

[Newsmax] Editor’s Note:
David Horowitz is the author of the runaway New York Times bestseller "Big Agenda: President Trump’s Plan
to Save America." His book first
predicted the anti-Trump left would use race to divide America and undermine
the Trump presidency. His op-ed for Newsmax appears below. Get more info on
"Big Agenda" — Go Here Now.
The tragedy in Charlottesville could have been an occasion
to stop and consider how the tolerance for politically correct violence and
politically correct hatred is leading the nation towards civil war.
Instead the media and the political left have turned this
incident into the biggest fake news story of the summer, transforming its real
lessons into a morality play that justifies war against the political right,
and against white people generally.
The organizers of the "Unite the Right"
demonstration in Charlottesville were repellent racists.
But they came to defend a historic monument honoring a
complex man and cause, and not to attack it or presumably anyone else.
They applied for a permit and were denied. They re-applied
successfully in a petition supported by the local ACLU.
If they had come to precipitate violence, why would they
have gone to the tedious trouble of applying for a permit?
Who knows what — if anything — would have happened if that
had been the end of the story and no one had showed up to oppose them.
What Unite the Right actually demonstrated was that the
assortment of neo-Nazis, pro-Confederates and assorted yahoos gathered under
the banner of the "Alt-Right" is actually a negligible group.
This supposed national show of strength actually attracted
all of 500 people.
Compare that to the tens of the thousands who can readily be
marshaled by two violent groups of the left — Black Lives Matter and
Antifa — and you get an idea of how marginal "white supremacists" are
to America's political and cultural life.
Yet "white supremacy" and its evils became the
centerpiece of all the fake news reporting on the event, including all the
ludicrous attacks on the president for not condemning enough a bogeyman the
whole nation condemns, and that no one but a risible fringe supports.
Talk about virtue signaling!
Omitted from the media coverage were the other forces at
work in precipitating the battle of Emancipation Park, specifically Black Lives
Matter and Antifa, two violent leftwing groups with racial agendas who came to
squelch the demonstration in defense of the monument.
Unlike the Unite the Right demonstrators, the leftist groups
did not apply for permits, which would have been denied since there was another
demonstration scheduled for that park on that day.
But why should they have applied for a permit, since the
mayhem they had previously caused in Ferguson, Berkeley, Sacramento, Portland
and other cities, was accomplished without permits, while their criminality was
presented by the media as "protests," and their rioting went
completely unpunished.
In other words, there were two demonstrations in
Charlottesville — a legal protest by Unite the Right and an illegal
protest by the vigilantes of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Who started the fight is really immaterial. Both sides were
prepared for violence because these conflicts are already a pattern of our
deteriorating civic life.
Once the two sides had gathered in the same place, the
violence was totally predictable.
Two parties, two culpabilities; but except for the initial
statement of President Trump, condemning both sides, only one party has been
held accountable, and that happens to be the one that was in the park legally.
What is taking place in the media accounts and political
commentaries on this event is an effort by the left to turn the mayhem in
Charlottesville into a template for their war against a mythical enemy —
"white supremacy" — which is really a war on white people generally.
The ideology that drives the left and divides our country is
"identity politics" — the idea that the world consists of two groups
— "people of color" who are guiltless and oppressed, and white people
who are guilty and oppressors.
This is the real race war.
Its noxious themes inform the mindless, hysterical hatred of
President Trump, and the equally mindless support of racist mobs like Black
Lives Matter and Antifa.
It is a war from which no good can come. But it won’t be
stopped unless enough people have the courage to stand up and name it for what
it is.
