Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign has issued a threat to a major conservative website that should have all conservatives — and anyone that believes in the First Amendment — very concerned.
The Daily Caller reported that Clinton’s campaign sent out a fundraising email with a serious threat to conservative news site Breitbart News. The email essentially said that the site has no “right to exist,” and threatened that if Clinton is elected, she will work to take down Breitbart, sites like it, and presumably their readers.
The email, which was sent Thursday and signed by deputy communications director Christina Reynolds, goes on to claim that the “regular conservative media” is fine, but that Breitbart is different.
“We’ve had a conservative media in this country for a while. I don’t always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist,” Reynolds wrote.
The email goes on to malign Breitbart and references what likely sparked the email, Breitbart News Executive Chairman, Stephen K. Bannon, being appointed as chief executive of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign:
“Breitbart is something different. They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They’re a different breed altogether — not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levers of power in this country,” the email states.
Based apparently on Reynolds’ ill-educated assumptions about Breitbart and on her inability to deal with anyone that disagrees with her, Reynold’s goes on to threaten “these people,” referring presumably to Breitbart and by association those who read it:
“It goes without saying that we have to beat these people. But I want to beat them so decisively that their kind never rises again.”
The Democrat party is truly an enemy of free speech. Whenever Democrats are challenged with logic and facts, they throw around words like “bigot” and “racist” to try and silence dissenting voices.
The problem is, this email comes from the Clinton campaign and directly attacks a media outlet for daring to disagree with them and their policies, and essentially threatens to shut them down claiming that those they don’t like don’t have a “right to exist.”
If Breitbart has the Clinton campaign this rattled, clearly the website is doing something right, and this email proves once again how critical it is to keep Clinton out of the White House.

Rush will be upset, not long ago they said HE was all those things...
Breitbart is the balance to the 90% Communist/socialist media. The witch wants no opposition. She wants to be a female Fidel Castro.
A rash on her.
scratch a Liberal and find a Fascist...
For every White American you had better be prepared for rough days ahead if the Democrats control the White House.
Especially males.
They are acting awful strange for a campaign that has this election all ready “In the Bag”. Well that is what MSMBC says.
Need to find a place to hide nephews.
Wow. Clinton’s inner Nazi dictator emerges. Sooner than I expected.

PING!
LOL, yes, these were seen in more than one location. Other half’s dream and ambition in life is to have a billboard put up on our property which runs along a paved, county road with the logo stating something along those same lines, but including BO’B in the mix as well. Will NOT let ‘em do it! We have no immediate neighbors, during the day It’s me, myself, and I. Even with the doors locked and phone beside me, I still have an uneasy feeling at times A few years ago, a young Hispanic girl was murdered near a creek running through the town. Right off a state highway! Times in Texas these days, well, they be tough!
The ranchers along the southern border can vouch for that.
Yet these are the SAME people who call Donald Trump a fascist for not wanting certain media types at his events..the left LOVES throwing around the fascist word but lookie here..HERE are the REAL fascists..if Hitler were around he would be SO proud
Slander, Demonization, Threats, Violence and, historically, Mass Murder.
It’s the never-changing “progressive” way.
Their trial, conviction, and sentencing come first. It is also important that the record of these despicable people giving and and comfort to the enemy and how justice was accomplished be taught to students so that they know what their responsibility will be as adults when confronted with the traitors of their day.
