They are doing exactly what they found intolerable when Obama did it,
refusing to acknowledge "Islamic terrorism" (or in this case, "Alt-right racist terrorism"). And Trump is doing it for exactly the same reason. Obama did not want to alienate the Muslim allies America relied on in its fight against ISIS, and to spare innocent Muslim Americans a vicious backlash from domestic bigots. This is not a "Liberal" policy, it's just common sense. It is exactly what GW Bush (to his credit) did right after 9/11. The equivalency on the Right is that Trump does not want to alienate the most extreme fascists the Right relies on its fight against Liberals, and to spare his Conservative allies from scrutiny and criticism.

"They are throwing their lot in with nazis, and racists, russian dictators and misogynists simply because that is the opposite of what liberals would do?"

That's absolutely right, and there is a reason for it. The Right DOES have a program, but they dare not spell it out in full detail. Instead they rely on embracing anything that opposes what their enemies favor. "Nazis, and racists, russian dictators and misogynists" are not their enemies. Democrats, Independents and moderate Republicans are their enemies.

Whatever future the Right is devising for us cannot be realized unless their opponents are completely discredited. neutralized, or if necessary, liquidated.

So one nutjob lefty shoots up a Conservative baseball practice, and its a "left wing conspiracy of violence and hatred". Some hippy Occupiers camp out on Wall Street as protest and its a Communist plot for world domination. But the Klan and the Nazis riot to promote white supremacy with Nazi and Confederate symbols and that is "violence on many sides".

Haven't you heard? One smarm now circulating in enlightened right wing circles is that racist/fascist elements in society are insignificant and irrelevant and no one would even be aware of them if they weren’t being publicized by the progressive media. So you see, It's all really the Liberals' fault.

Thanks, Obama!

The only "equivalency" I see here is that uniting "Nazi" and "Confederate".
