The War on ‘White Supremacy’ Invades the Farmer’s Market
American Greatness ^ | August 24, 2019 | Julie Kelly

Posted on 08/24/2019 2:06:28 AM PDT by OddLane

The mayor of Bloomington, Indiana knows who is responsible for the race-related turmoil plaguing his town’s weekly farmer’s market and dividing his college community: Donald Trump, of course.

In a press conference last month announcing he would suspend the popular event for two weeks amid accusations one of the vendors is a white supremacist, Mayor John Hamilton said that the nation’s racially charged climate is to blame for his decision...

Don’t blame all Hoosiers.

Bloomington (Indiana university) is an island of Liberal lunacy

As the left has gotten crazier and more totalitarian over the years, FR has found itself closer to the responsible center of the political spectrum.

FR didn’t move, the political spectrum moved.

No just Bloomington. Home of Indiana University one of the top party schools in the country. Judging Indiana by what happens in Bloomington is like judging Texas by what happens in Austin or Houston. Lived in Indiana my whole life, and while we’ve had our share of fruits and nuts, overall we are one of the most conservative states out there. With the influx of tech companies like Salesforce that is slowly changing, but I think we’re still good for a few more years.

I’m surprised that FR hasn’t been hacked,

I would wager that several of the alphabet agencies have already hacked FR and have dossiers on every single Freeper. Just assume that they do. Also, that one of those agencies has identified one or several Freepers who display signs or psychological tendencies towards violence and that same agency is encouraging or is possibly working on them MKULTRA style (whatever the program is called now) to go out and commit some heinous act so as to shut down FR.

We are that far down the rabbit hole. Make sure you are living a clean life and are get right with Jesus. Let the other side make all the threats and overt acts of violence, but comport yourself peacefully yet be capable of defending yourself. (see tagline)

This is about a weak liberal mayor, not of a white supremacist selling vegetables.

Liberals have trouble separating their commie mindset with reality.

Contrary to the tolerance and diversity they espouse, they are intolerant of those who think differently than Karl Marx.

This is an example of why we can never elect a government run by these fools. Everyone would be in the reeducation camps for the freedoms and individual independent thoughts that our country was founded on.

There is already enough information here on FR to take down FR in the leftist and social media.

All a good analyst would have to do is study the various subjects and individual comments made. Go to individual profiles. Go to the donations pages. Enough information could be correlated pertaining to certain subjects and individual members that if made public by major MSM players FR would likely be run out of existence.

Some people here do make serious racial remarks, where in today’s race baiting culture could likely be considered criminal by leftists by simply saying it’s criminal and then we have the trial by media.

I’m surprised it has not been done yet.

Probably two reasons. FR isn’t considered big enough to come into the lefts crosshairs yet and that it might be a lot of work and might not be worth it. The only pushback I have seen here is some trolls and the occasional denial of service attack. I think there was one post 2016 election. If President Trump gets reelected expect another dos attack at the minimum.

What a truly terrible horrible story!
Basebal-bat wielding thugs and targeted stalkers are shutting down businesses over anonymous innocuous free speech! Threatening families and ruining lives. And vichy politicians and police are letting this happen!
How did things get so out of hand in 1930’s Germany?
I think we are living it here...
C’ mon Indiana. Take a stand.
Anyone could be next.

Pence is incapable of doing much more than filling in as a cardboard cutout of an empty suit

I have watched Pence debate. He is a tough SOB. His statements are sharp, on target and to the point. He takes no prisoners. He is far more adept at it than Trump, actually.

Basebal-bat wielding thugs

Read the article. Would you believe that there is an Antifa division in Indianapolis. Always the same bad penny keeps turning up.

“Q: Who planted the seeds of division with derision years ago?
A: The community organizer.”

Almost all of these community organizing non-profits are receiving federal government money through various channels. From January 2011 to January 2017 the GOP House of Representatives under Boehner and Ryan did nothing to shut off the flow of taxpayer funds to these groups, even though the House controlled the power of the purse.

Cut off the money and the snake dies. Feed the snake and it will bite you.

Can you not carry in Indiana? Some a$$hole approaches me “wielding a baseball bat and questioning my political beliefs” will get shot. Threaten my life? Only once, and you’d better be ready to back it up on the spot.

“In May, an activist approached Schooner Creek’s booth at the market wielding a baseball bat and asked the owners about their political beliefs.”

“Drop the weapon or die,” is the correct response to that little stunt.

From the article:
The messages were part of a trove of posts uncovered by Unicorn Riot, a far-left “alternative media” nonprofit, after the August 2017 Charlottesville rally. Dye’s comments were found on a chat platform associated with Identity Evropa; according to the Anti-Defamation League, IE is a white supremacy group.

After the posts were released, “dozens of IE members [were] doxxed and it was revealed that the group’s membership included a wide range of working professionals, including a medical doctor in Tennessee, a CPA in Ohio, a Virginia police officer, a Brooklyn electrician, a New Orleans contractor, a law student at the John Marshall Law School and several members of the U.S. armed forces,” bragged the ADL. IE reorganized in March 2019 as the American Identity Movement.

Has anybody ever heard of “Identity Evropa” or the new name “American Identity Movement”? It is so obscure and has such low traffic as to be inconsequential. Per Alexa Page Rankings of global internet traffic and engagement over the past 90 days:
* FreeRepublic - #19,862
* American Identity Movement - #948,482

There’s a reason these bastards used AIM to dox people rather than other more well known conservative target sites.
