"No free speech for fascists!" screamed two burly ruffians as they charged the stage where David Horowitz was attempting to speak. "I probably would have suffered some bodily harm," Horowitz later wrote on his blog. Luckily, he writes, about half a dozen supporters "sprang to my rescue and beat the living crap out of the two deserving reds, dragging them unceremoniously from the theater." (1)
Mr. Horowitz was fortunate. But he remains a target. We now know that the October 21 attack at the Liberty Film Festival in Los Angeles was no random event. It is part of a wider effort, orchestrated by the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
The RCP's so-called "World Can't Wait!" campaign seeks to intimidate conservatives through thuggery.
 Screenshot of the hit list posted on the Web site of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP). At least two people on the list — one of them David Horowitz — have been subjected to aggressive physical harassment by operatives of the RCP's "World Can't Wait!" campaign. |
On its Web site, the RCP has published a hit list of nine prominent conservatives whom it deems "Nazis" or "fascists", deserving of special odium. David Horowitz appears on the list, as does Berkeley law professor John Choon Yoo.
 Charles Clark Kissinger of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) |
RCP thugs invaded Professor Yoo's classroom last week, on October 26, forcing him to flee. The perpetrators later boasted of their achievement on their blog. (3)
The nine names on the RCP hit list are: Ann Coulter; Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin; David Horowitz; Pat Robertson; William Bennett [pdf file]; Louisiana National Guard Brigadier General Gary Jones [pdf file]; Barbara Bush [pdf file]; Congressman Richard Baker [pdf file] and Berkeley law professor John Choon Yoo, in that order.
The World Can't Wait! campaign appears to be the brainchild of one Charles Clark Kissinger, a former SDS leader who today serves as a high-level organizer in the Revolutionary Communist Party. (4) Kissinger created the anti-war coalition Not in Our Name, which is working closely with the World Can't Wait! campaign.
The attacks on Horowitz and Yoo are just the beginning. Kissinger's World Can't Wait! network plans a nationwide mobilization beginning November 2 — the first anniversary of George W. Bush's alleged theft of the 2004 election (yes, they claim he stole that election too).

Funny how leftist never want any free speech for anyone but themselves. Just like the REAL Nazis and Communists used to feel...
If there were a Conservative website that published a "HITLIST" the MS would go Berzerk-ley..........
HA HA!
Like minds
Bring it on, Socialist Weasels.
These folks are just dingbats, and dangerous ones at that!
The fact that they include former first lady Barbara Bush (Barbara Bush !!!! ???) makes it a federal crime, which the Secret Service is empowered to not only investigate but to actively intervene to prevent them from carrying out their threats, without further court action.
They can, for example, enter and search the premises of these people (offices or homes) without a specific court issued warrant based solely on this threat. They can also detain these individuals indefinitely, so long as they consider them to be a threat to the proetected person.
Kewl!
Proof positive they know they're losing the ideological war!
I volunteer to protect Ann Coulter from these thugs. Anytime, anyplace.
Barabara Bush is on the list. Does the Secret Service cover the spouse of a former POTUS?
I was asked to work OT for their protest in Seattle. I'm already working that night and can't do 24 hours as I don't drink coffee.
there is nothing funny about it... that is exactly what they want, free speech only for them and to exercise that free speech in any manifestation they wish without threat of retaliation... what is needed here is for the fbi to name this organization a domestic terrorist group and shut them down...
if this doesn't get nipped in the bud and quickly, you will start seeing much more of these groups springing up and using these tactics of 'revolutionary' take-overs of segments of our rights and liberties...
In reality, it was the Communists above all others who prevented revolution in Spain. Later, when the Right Wing forces were in full control, the Communists showed themselves willing to go a great deal further than the Liberals in hunting down revolutionary leaders.[Snip]
Between the Communists and those who claim to stand to the Left of them there is a real difference. The Communists hold that Fascism can be beaten by alliance with sections of the capitalist class (the Popular Front); their opponents hold that this maneuver simply gives Fascism new breeding-grounds. The question has got to be settled; to make the wrong decision may be to land ourselves in for centuries of semi-slavery.
Commies suck!
Losing the ideological war is right and they are terrified.
