White House petition demanding 'Antifa' groups be branded TERRORISTS...[Barf Alert]
Daily Mail, London ^ | 21 August 2017 | Dailymail.com Reporter

It claims that Antifa...has earned the label 'terrorist' for 'due to its violent actions...and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers'...It gives no evidence for either claim... Anti-fascism as a movement has been around for around a century...Since then, Donald Trump has come under fire for quavering about condemning white supremacists, and for equating neo-Nazis with their anti-fascist counter-protesters. If Antifa groups are declared terrorists it will come as a surprise to many, as they do not fit traditional terrorist models.

Hideous, yes? But the Daily Mail piece prompted quite a few moderately conservative British men to use the Internet to urge Americans to sign the Petition. They've seen the same abuse from Antifa and its corporate and government allies in Europe.

Ping.

Looks like the London Daily Mail is trashing us for Antifa, but it helps to get the word out anyway.

Any group that uses violence to further its political goals is by definition terrorist. But we have a media and former president who support terrorist groups while saying their victims deserve what they get.

Antifa are communists and are being supported by their fellow travelers inthe govt, education and media.

They call themselves antifascist to hide their communism.

For those of you who didn’t know, New Jersey Homeland Security was the first to list Antifa a couple of months ago. It shouldn’t be too hard for the federal government to do so.

The DHS deemed Antifa a domestic terrorist organization early in July.

I signed the petition when it was at 17,000 signatures.

Jeff Sessions and DOJ should examine every act of violence, determine the initiator of the violence, then prosecute.

Once members of a group are convicted, then the group is suspect.

Innocent til proven guilty still holds, even for antifa kers

The Daily Mail went to the dark side some months ago

Before then it was a pretty good read on story details not reported in the US

For these British stooges I provide a single name in rebuttal: Sir Oswald Mosely, and one movement, the British Union of Fascists.

That was New Jersey. This is the federal effort. See the number of signatories.

“244,765 signed”

And about 24 days to go.

The Daily Mail has been focusing on crimes committed in the USA for quite a few years for the purpose of showing their Limey recipients of brainwashing how bad we Yanks are.

No proof at all. Just hundreds of hours of Youtube videos.
