    That seems like a great idea ...until you screw up and out the wrong person.

    I liked the quote from the kid caught screaming angrily with the lighted torch: "I hope that the people sharing the photo are willing to listen that I’m not the angry racist they see in that photo.”

    You're not? Then why do you act like an angry racist at angry racist rallies? Is this a method acting thing?

    Fortunately, when he is looking for a job or grad school, he will be able to blend in among all the other applicants named Peter Cvjetanovic

    They're all fucking losers. No one in the middle of a successful life thinks, "You know what, I'm going to give white supremacism a try." They're just like the failures that ISIS recruits. If they had reasonable prospects for employment and sex, they'd be making money and getting laid instead.

    That's obvious. But someone at least got him out there and say the words. I guess that's better than nothing.

    Nah. It doesn't need to be rehashed. But it's a bad error that results from reporters thinking they know the facts of a situation, when they need to confirm them.

    I could provide many examples of this, if you're uncomfortable ceding the point.

    My question is how does a guy who works in California at a hot dog shop afford a plane ticket and the associated costs with going all the way to Charlottesville, Va., for a rally.

    Plenty of successful people are losers, too.

    Haha. I just noticed that too, and was wondering about it.

    Disclaimer: This thought is out of the blue and not in response to any particular poster:

    Hasn't here been some coverage of the fact that ISIS does not only recruit failures, but has been surprisingly successful recruiting from the middle class?
