Why Won’t Media Demand Dems Condemn Antifa?
Mediaite ^ | 29 Aug, 2017 | Larry O'Connor

Posted on 08/29/2017 11:30:20 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Over the weekend, Antifa anarchists draped in black masks and carrying home-made weapons disrupted a peaceful demonstration and counter-demonstration in Berkeley, CA. The violence from the alt-Left group was so obvious and one-sided that even the Washington Post framed their article with no uncertain condemnation of the thugs in their headline: Black-clad antifa members attack peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley.

So why is this group, whose political ties clearly lean in synchronicity with the Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party, not being condemned by Democrats for their thuggery and violence? And, more importantly, why isn’t the media demanding Democrats do so in the same way they demanded Republicans condemn neo-Nazis and White Nationalists?

And the media is the propaganda organ of the Democrat party.

Chaos is a ladder.

You should never let a crisis go to waste.
Because then you can do things you couldn’t do before.

My 3rd favorite President of all time BRILLIANTLY forced the Left/Media to embrace and defend these unhinged, violent a-holes in the aftermath of Charlottesville.....
I have however noticed a few on the Left starting to see the err of their ways and “ooooch” away slowly.

Because every liberal is a totalitarian thug.

They crave violent oppression.

Antifa is what the DNC wants to be.

Remember how much the media condemned the Tea Party in 2009/2010, for doing absolutely nothing?

Imagine if they acted like Antifa, they'd have gone apesh**. Instead, we get crickets from them over prolonged, coordinated violence from a large group. A lot more people have been assaulted by Antifa than "white supremacists" in the United States in 2017.

They won’t condemn fellow travelers. For the left, the ends justify the means, ANY means.

Don’t expect them to call out any but the few so they can say “see, we condemn our own too.”

Too few, and To far between.

Because Antifa takes us one step closer to guaranteed Socialist government paychecks and retirement for in-house journalists.

Because they support and condone what Antifa is doing.

I too have noted many times here that the MSM really signed up to defend Antifa in Charlottesville. I also predicted that defending these Marxist/Dem Thugs was simply not sustainable due to events like we just witnessed in Berkeley.

So I’m curious: Who on the Left do you see inching away from Antifa support?

Why? Because the media created Antifa through dishonesty through the last election cycle. When leftists tried a bit of violence against Trump supporters, they found that the media actually praised them as “patriots” and blamed Trump!

Because they want us dead/in gulags and then, starved to death.

So they can take our wealth and real estate.

“For the children.”

I didn’t bookmark any but over the course of the week I’ve seen more and more accounts of the truth about these thugs coming from what I considered surprising sources.
In other words, I see any honest, unbiased coverage of Antifa as a complete reversal of the glowing defense by the Media immediately after Charlottesville.
