This week’s peak demonstration of leftist anti-Semitic madness comes to us courtesy of the Oakland City Council, where a resolution endorsing a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Gaza war was met with this parade of insane people...

Look no further than Atlanta, where pro-Hamas protestors showed up at First Lady Rosalyn Carter’s memorial service in Atlanta, apparently taking lessons tastelessness from the Westboro Baptists.

That’s funny! Was he confusing FULRO with some obscure national front socialist insurgency? Is there a video?
Yup. The extra ‘ho’ in question.
It was the National Liberation Front, the NLF.
Now we know why no anti-war protests were scheduled for Sunday afternoons.....
