Wonderful commentary Mr. Begich, thank you for adding your voice of rational and reasoned thought to this debate. One of my favorite examples of the forces of anti fascism is that of the landing craft at Normandy unloading thousand of Allied soldiers while underneath the caption says, "Group of anti Nazi protesters confronts a large gathering of Nazi sympathizers". The time to confront fascism has long come and gone even as the evil has grown inside the nations heartland. We defeated it before and we will defeat it again. The Nazis in Charlottesville were given a permit for their rally on Saturday but they went off the rails on Friday night with the tiki torch parade so their permit was revoked. Meanwhile the anti fascist/racist/nazi demonstrators were given a permit by city government for a rally in a different part of town on Saturday. That's the one the murderous bas#$@d drove his car into intentionally maiming and killing. The madman who is POTUS equated the two. Horrendous, sad.
