Here's what the Jews of Charlottesville experienced as these "good people" Trump speaks of, went about their day of protest:

No, Trump denounced and condemned the people doing that.

No matter how it is spun and repeated the truth is self evident. And it is becoming increasingly clear that no matter what the President says it will never be accepted by the radical press and all the haters.

Consider how everyone would have reacted if instead of nazi and KKK terrorists, the rally was called by radical islamist terrorists.

Does anyone think that the president would be saying there was fault on both sides?

It's partially because the people he spoke of who were "fine people" that weren't part of those groups or racists and hateful in their own right and only there to protest a monument being removed are figments of his imagination.

I know for a fact that Trump wouldn't have gone out of his way to mention the fine people on the Islamic side.

It sounds like people really dislike Nazis and white supremacists.

Good. I hope they're meet the same level of opposition wherever they go to preach their hatred of people.

No, he told us they were "Very fine people" there. And he told us the people chanting nazi slogans and marching with tiki torches the night before were simply quietly protesting the removal of the statue.

Does anyone think that the president would be saying there was fault on both sides?
Or that he would have hesitated in directly calling out islamic terrorism (or Muslims in general, as he seems wont to generalize there) right away?

Then the rally wouldn't have been attacked by antifa. Antifa being against Islamophobia and all that...

And where, precisely, in this quote are the KKK, nazis or white supremacists mentioned?
"Both sides."

Do you not understand plain English? It's not a hard one. Both sides means, well... Both sides.

I really don't know how else this could be explained.

You might criticize him for being unclear,
As usual for this President.

but to say that he said anything about supporting nazis or any similar group would be a lie.
No it isn't.

I think that we can all agree on this,
We cannot.

if we simply read what the president actually said and restrict our analysis to that.
That's exactly what I did.

Far too many people are treating the interpretation of news outlets of what the president said as what the president actually said.
I heard what the President actually said. More importantly, I heard what he didn't say. It's what he didn't say on Saturday, when his words really mattered, that stuck out like a Klansmen in Compton.

Nazi on Nazi website agree with you:

"Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us.

He said that we need to study why people are so angry, and implied that there was hate … on both sides!

So he implied the antifa are haters.

There was virtually no counter-signaling of us at all.

He said he loves us all."

Who is that?

The non-racists. There are plenty of people who think of themselves as 'alt-right' but aren't racist. Just as there are many who would say that they are anti-fascists, but don't support Antifa.
