New York Times Applauds Far-Left Violence
PowerLine ^ | 08/20/2017 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 08/20/2017 5:57:47 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

New York Times reporters Thomas Fuller, Alan Feuer and Serge Kovaleski are responsible for this admiring profile of the far-left Brownshirts called antifa: “‘Antifa’ members are ready to literally fight right-wingers.”

"Members of antifa have shown no qualms about using their fists, sticks or canisters of pepper spray to meet an array of right-wing antagonists whom they call a fascist threat to U.S. democracy."

Is antifa violent? Well, that depends on what the meaning of “violent” is:

“You need violence in order to protect nonviolence,” she said. “That’s what’s very obviously necessary right now.” *** “When you look at this grave and dangerous threat — and the violence it has already caused — is it more dangerous to do nothing and tolerate it or should we confront it?” Sabaté said. “Their existence itself is violent … so I don’t think using force or violence to oppose them is unethical.”

The mere existence of supporters of President Trump is violent, so it is OK to attack them with baseball bats. The Times reporters show no sign of disagreeing with this “reasoning.”

{..snip..}

Antifa is nothing more or less than a fascist organization. Hitler’s Brownshirts had nothing on them. I thought their childish trick of naming themselves the opposite of what they really are wouldn’t fool anyone, but apparently it has fooled the New York Times. Or maybe the Times is just on their side.

Save all of these articles. Print them out if you can. This is important because History will tell one tale, and our kids need to know who really started CWII.

“Why Is The New York Times Trying To Rehabilitate Communism?”

https://thefederalist.com/2017/08/03/why-is-the-new-york-times-trying-to-rehabilitate-communism/

They’ve hosted a series of fond, nostalgic recollections about the good old days of twentieth-century Communism—

the optimism
the idealism
the moral authority

..and even

the sex

“The New York Times wants us to believe communists have better sex”

Hinderaker totally nails them in this piece.

Here is a photo of antifa responding to a violent window in Washington, D.C. during President Trump’s inauguration:

Not exactly, "Peace Through Strength", but, hey, I agree. Let's get it on.

CNN actual headline said Antifa was “promoting peace through violence.”

Orwellian.

Trump is a genius. Within one week we’ve seen CNN, ABC, and now NYT run stories admitting the ‘many sides’ with violent actors and forced the MSM to defend violent anarchists.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Parent companies include Disney, Comcast, Viacom, and now AT&T. Don’t subscribe to have the companies piss in your shoes.

TigerClaws "CNN actual headline said Antifa was “promoting peace through violence.”"

CNN has changed their title. For some reason.

It was this then became the next image.

Old




New

Liberalism, in all its forms, is moving in one direction: REVOLUTION.

Liberals hate America and have decided that Trump's election means it must be destroyed. The Second Civil War is coming, Liberals will make sure it does. They want to destroy everything that offends them and they find the fact that there are people who love America quite offensive.

“You need violence in order to protect nonviolence,” she said.

What happened to "war never solved anything?"

I guess today's liberals have changed their mind.
