Saturday 8/19 Protest & Rally Megathread [2]

So 3 people with ties to both Libertarian party groups as well as ties to the last rally and their views were going to speak at some point but dropped out since it was organized months ago. How many total speakers did it have? I saw a few of the other speakers and quotes from the original event organizer and it sounds like this was not a "free speech" rally as a backdoor racism rally but was in face a Free Speech rally.

I'm not questioning the validity of opposition to those speakers I am just questioning the validity of the media portraying it as racism and bigotry backdoor into a Massachusetts audience. I am am weary of portraying the organizers as closet racists until there is more evidence that it was actually a supported goal of the group behind the event. So far I have only seen a lot of people and articles throwing around labels without justifying them. If it was a racist rally I think we may have actually been better off running a protest rally the day after instead so we could actually see their numbers and identify people who actually support the racist ideas we are labeling them with now.
