This summer, California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters called on her supporters to harass cabinet officials. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that you “cannot be civil” with members of the Republican Party. And Wednesday, videotape was released of former Attorney General Eric Holder telling a Democratic audience at a campaign rally on Sunday that they should “kick” Republicans when they perceive them as “going low.”
Despite the continued reports of politically motivated threats or violence, Democratic Party leaders have worked to keep this anger burning and incite even more harassment and violence.
Beginning with my own near-death experience at the hands of a deranged shooter who sought to assassinate a baseball field of Republicans, there is a growing list of violent or threatening actions taken against conservatives by Democrats.
• Ashley Kavanaugh, Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s wife and his daughters received multiple credible threats.
• Dana Loesch, NRA spokeswoman, received death threats against her children on Twitter.
• Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., received such a threatening phone call that the man has now been indicted.
•Jamie Gardner, wife of Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., wife, received a text of a beheading after the vote to confirm Justice Kavanaugh.
Several Republican Senators had their personal information, including home addresses, posted to Wikipedia for threatening purposes by a Democrat House staffer.
• Congressman Clay Higgins (R-La.) received threatening phone calls that led to a man’s arrest. • Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kent., and his wife Kelly Paul have both received credible threats that have led to arrests.
• Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife, as well as White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, were chased out of restaurants.
• Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was confronted by protesters and harassed out of a DC restaurant.

These are the same people who want to take away guns. Strange how they idolize violence and want to stop people defending themselves.
I have said for years that we must remove and dissolve Teachers Unions from our taxpayer funded schools. Also, the Federal Department of Education must be dissolved. Local control of our education system must be restored.
It certainly is a threat to the Democracy functions built into the Constitutional Republic. Threats and intimidation interfere with showing up at the polls to vote at all.
There are times like this that the national guard needs to be present at EVERY, SINGLE poling station in all 50 states, it’s access-ways, and general vicinity as reverse intimidation on the thuggery.
If the governors refuse, as the blue states most certainly will, only the regular army and the air force are subject to restrictions under Posse Comitatus.
Do it, Mr. Trump. Do it for liberty of the common voter.
I’m starting to use up the staples...salt, sugar, toilet paper, etc....that I hoarded during Obama’s presidency.
As bad as this word - Democratic -.
Yup. Me too.
The dogs are getting a tuna snack every day now.
I'm in complete agreement.
Just consider the etymology of the word. It contains the disgusting 'Rat and its penchant for filth (see San Franfesco). And, it ends with the word fragment of the blood sucking 'Tic.
Given the ubiquitous lack of logic and civics on the left it is only proper to blame decades of public schools and our own laziness in accommodating them. Even some on the right demonstrate gross abuse of the same.
Yes, Liz, the Dems were cunning. Inculcating commiRAT doctrine into the mush of young people’s minds is the perfect plan for defeating America from within.
Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting revolt against government. However, because of the broad protection of free speech
under the First Amendment, prosecutions for sedition are rare. Nevertheless, sedition remains a crime in the United States.
18 U.S.C.A. § 2384 (2000), a federal statute that punishes seditious conspiracy, and 18 U.S.C.A. § 2385 (2000), which outlaws advocating the overthrow of the federal government by force. Generally, a person may be punished for sedition only when he or she makes statements that create a Clear and Present Danger to rights that the government may lawfully protect (schenck v. united states, 249 U.S. 47, 39 S. Ct. 247, 63 L. Ed. 470 [1919]).
"...in the spring of 1972, at Tulane University...students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest of a scheduled speech by George H. W. Bush, then U.S. representative to the United Nations - a speech likely to include a defense of the Nixon administration's Vietnam War policies. The students told Alinsky they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush's address. That's the wrong approach, he rejoined, not very creative - and besides causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school. He told them, instead, to go to hear the speech dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards reading, ‘The KKK supports Bush.' And that is what they did, with very successful, attention-getting results."
Trump needs to move his podium 5 feet left or right before he gives a speech at rallies... I suspect the left is placing people behind him that cameras will 'pick up. AND those people give the wrong impression. (thanks for the link Candor
I remember your handle Robroy quite well, being of Scottish decent.
That article is one of the best ever written about these leftist mafia racketeers.
It has actually been serious for quite some time. That dog-whistling is all about convincing themselves that they could actually win such a conflict - because wars generally don't get started until that belief (mistaken or well-founded, it doesn't matter) is widespread.
For now, my situation awareness is cranked up to "James Mattis" level:
“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”
If we can keep the House - Trump will have the time to address many important issues that have been on the back burner. This election is the most important of our time.
Thanks for the ping Liz...
As to the mob activity of the left, there is a fine line here and it needs to be addressed.
1st amendment free speech does not cover extortion, “Vote my way or else.”
Possible...but not likely IMHO.
