Why not protest Byrd, Wilson monuments; ESPN vs Robert Lee

A roundup of editorials from the Right includes a look at why liberals are OK with monuments to men like Robert Byrd, why ESPN is concerned with politics and why anti-fascists are using the same tactics as the fascists they are protesting against.

1. Why aren't monuments to Byrd, Wilson upsetting Democrats?

From Newsmax: Deroy Murdock wonders where liberal voices are when it comes to honoring the late Sen. Robert Byrd or President Woodrow Wilson.

2. ESPN's Robert Lee belly-flop

From Townhall.com: Are sports secondary with ESPN? At the all-sports channel, politics seems to be as much a part of the game as the action on the field.

3. They are the fascists

From the Augusta Chronicle: It seems the anti-fascists may be as bad as the fascists – at least when it comes to tactics.
