I know you've been in at least one of the threads where this report was posted. Scroll down to Appendix II.

You obviously are not being honest with yourself.
It is well known in political discourse that it is more acceptable to identify as a radical leftist than to do so as a neo Nazi or white supremacist. We have democratic socialists running and winning, and respected. It doesn’t have the same stigma, despite leftism writ large causing more deaths than Nazism in the 20th century.
You are dancing around every question.
There is a rise in “reported hate crimes,” not proven or convicted. Do you understand the difference? Also, it might surprise you but according to the fbi a substantial proportion of hate crimes are not perpetrated by white people.

Because the Right made being opposed to gay marriage a key part of their platform for decades.
Are we just supposed to forget that whole thing now that Obama-era justices decided it was protected by the Constitution?

Hmm...just saw a video of the crime scene...
The hat is just left lying there - apparently the attacker didn't want it
Oh and there is what looks like a pair of scissors on the ground.. how odd.

No they didn't. It was never an issue until the left started forcing America to accept it. If the right had any opposition to it, it was never made into a public issue.

Just like it's pretty clear when a Muslim extremist commits a terror attack. Yet the Right seems to want every single Muslim in the world to step up to a microphone and say the attacker was wrong before they'll even consider admitting that the Muslim community condemned the attacker.
So yes, you all need to step up to the mic and condemn this because we're a pattern is starting to develop.
When a Nazi killed someone in Charlottesville the Right tried to ignore it at best, while many tried to blame the victim.
When a white supremacist shot up a black church the Right tried to pretend it didn't actually happen.
Just look at the recent reactions to the NZ shooting.
Every single time the Right does everything they can to deflect from the attack without ever really condemning the attacker. So that either means they don't want to admit their side is less than perfect or, even more frightening, they actually support these maniacs.
So yeah, from now on I'm going to call out the Right on this site when they don't explicitly condemn one of their own crazy people.
