Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clintons 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 Clintons 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.
Weve had a conservative media in this country for a while. I dont 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 Trumps campaign:
Breitbart is something different. They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. Theyre 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, Reynolds 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 dont like dont 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.
Share this on Facebook and Twitter to remind people the threat Clinton would pose to free speech if she were to be elected, and feel free to give us your thoughts about it in the comments below.

I really believe people are failing to see what is going on in America. The rich White Elite will sell us out at the drop of a hat. They have the money and power to protect themselves. They live with their security and gated communities.
Why has the US government and I do not speak of the Pentagon here,stored so much ammunition?
People need to awaken!
And if Trump said he would bring down sites like DU, what would she say??
Perfect...
Obama plans for the UN to shut conservatives down.
Thanks.
