Conservative activist James O'Keefe is accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration of targeting his group with document requests and a subpoena, claiming the Democratic governor's recent comments critical of conservatives "aren't simply words."

In it, Cuomo blasted "extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay" and said they "have no place" in New York.

The left are being VERY VOCAL about their true thoughts regarding conservatives and I’m willing to bet their true motives will be soon revealed: Elimination

Call me a tin foil hat wearer but the Hard left’s mask of tolerance is slipping off.

I don’t think the mask is slipping off, I think they are emboldened enough just to yank it off and dare you to do anything about it.

It appears the Left is blatantly assaulting conservatism at all levels across the Nation.
