First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

~ Pastor Martin Niemöller - 1947

I thought of that wonderful quote as well. We need to stand up for Mr. Jones. And Bernie Sanders, for that matter. We are nothing if we aren’t fair. Our first amendment actually means something.

“First they came for Alex Jones, and I did not speak out—
Because I did not listen to Alex Jones.”

Then the shooting started.....
