About two dozen racists, homophobes, and white supremacists turned out for the “We the People Rally” in Philadelphia last weekend, an alt-right event organized by the Proud Boys and aimed at uniting the “silent majority” to fight back against the left.
The event’s description on Facebook, which was created by right-wing extremists Holly Delcampo and Zach Rehl, reads:
This event is for all Patriots, Militia, 3%, constitution loving Americans, pro good cop, pro ICE, pro law and order, pro life, pro American value, pro gun and anti illegal immigration. Will you stand with us? ITS TIME TO SHOW PHILLY WHAT PATRIOTISM REALLY IS!!
It was held outside a Visitor Center near the Independence National Historical Park on Saturday.
Just across the street, hundreds of counter-protestors waved signs that said things like “Go Home Assh*les” and “Make Racists Afraid Again.”
After the event was over, rabble-rousers from the “We the People” attempted to leave by hailing cabs and Ubers. Unfortunately for them, as soon as the drivers learned who they were and what they had just been doing, they denied them service. Some politely declined to drive them. Others just sped off.
This is completely surreal. Fascists are trying to take taxis , but the drivers keep leaving whenever they realize what’s happening. pic.twitter.com/lcwPucpSPf

We love seeing karma in action.

Hahahaha! Should have punched them in the face before speeding off.

So you have no intelligent argument against those who believe in LEGAL, MERIT BASED immigration only, those who appreciate and support the work law enforcement, including I.C.E do, who want a civil and safe society based on law & order, who believe in ALL the amendments to the Constitution, most notably the 2nd. So instead of coming up with an argument against their positions, you only want to shut them down. How, you might ask? By hurling accusations of ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’, ‘racist’, ‘extremist’, and the like, thinking that will give credibility to your leftist/socialist/communist side. Vacuous at best.

You spelled your Name wrong.

So sensitive to the way literal self-proclaimed Nazis are being referred to as Nazis, and then you randomly throw out the “communist” label. You’re a loon. Go home, asshole.
Kev57
I couldn’t help but notice that you didn’t reference there anti-gay stances. I should say hatred of gays. Does that still make them okay?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

Hillary did not win, and you just cannot get over yourselves.
Kangol
And you support a treasonous, incompetent homophobe, Trump, and you know doing so is indefensible.

@ ATR. My husband and I served 20+ years in the Marine Corps. Shouldn’t we have ALL the rights of any other tax paying American couple?
David
If the economy is doing so well how come the president didn’t approve pay raises for Federal workers? He said his tax plan would be great. But then he says there’s not enough revenue for the raise. But somehow he found money to send troops to the border.

Hillary DID win, your constant state of denial only makes you more angry (therefore obvious…and weaker). ;->
TomG
True and by 3 MILLION votes, and that irks Trump and his supporters to no end. I am glad about that !
o.codone
Nah. She didn’t win. The winner would be in the White House and she ain’t in the White House. 3 million votes included illegals and dead people, so nah, she didn’t win. But, now that you mention it I’m hoping she runs again so she can “win” again. I love it when she wins. Hahahhaa. You guys keep forgetting that all gays are not democrats.

Too bad you have forgotten the wisdom of our Forefathers in establishing the Electoral College.
I sure wouldn’t want the citizens of Los Angeles County, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens County, Kings County, Bronx County, Westchester County, Miami-Dade County, Cobb/Fulton/DeKalb/Gwinnet Counties, deciding the outcome of a NATIONAL Presidential election. That’s the very reason why the Electoral College was put into election law. Or did they just never teach you this in public school?

Such Uber drivers are probably the kind of people who believe conservatives should be forced to bake gay wedding cakes, but liberals should not be required to drive them around.
The Proud Boys say they love cops, law and order, and dislike illegal activities? How does that make them Nazis?
Large Hardon Collider
The article doesn’t use the word Nazis. If you want to quibble, the quoted tweets call them fascists.
David
Hey muscleboi. Baking the cake would be obeying the law. I can give you a few Bible verses about obeying the law if you want. But the question is really why you’re upset with the Uber drivers doing the same thing you’re okay with bakers doing. The “Proud boys” also don’t want you to masturbate; so are you going to support them on that?
sydboy007
@David so what legal reason would a taxi have to refuse service to these people? If they are not acting on a threatening way, can pay for the trip, then it’s likely illegal to refuse service.
Unless of course you now believe the state shouldn’t force you to provide your labour to someone.
Large Hardon Collider
Like most white “tough” guys they were too scared to take the subway, LOL.
Kangol
Telling and ironic, isn’t it? Of course they’d be the first ranting about their “tax dollars” paying for public transportation too.
