So, he agrees with a lot of us that after the red wave the left could turn this into a hot civil war.

This type of flaming jerk rhetoric was not part of the TEA Party event my wife and I participated at the capitol.

Combined with Hillery's promise of a lack of civility until the Democrats are back in power and the demonstrated Antifa ability to destroy everything and everyone in their path, the insanity of the far left is taking us down a very dark path - one in which the James Cromwells and Maxine Waters of that group will be sure they are on the sidelines urging others to be harmed in their stead. "Let's you and him fight!"

Always fun reading stuff like this. The Left has always leaned towards violence when they they don’t get their way. Those of us old enough to have lived through it, the Left did very similar stuff during Nixon’s presidency/Vietnam War.

Back then, we had actual violence during Chicago’s “Days of Rage” (1968) followed by the Weather Underground, the Red Star Commune and others. They actually conducted armed robberies, murder, and bombings.

Weirdly enough, our Attorneys General back then didn’t do much about it either: very few were successfully charged and punished back then.

The Left is back to its old tricks and we should keep vigilant.

This is all you need to know about this loser.

He subsequently became involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement,[15] and by the late 1960s, Cromwell was a member of the Committee to Defend the Panthers, a group organized to defend 13 members of the Black Panther Party who had been imprisoned in New York on charges of conspiracy. All 13 were eventually released. In a 2004 interview with CNN, Cromwell praised the Panthers.[16] He supported the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[17]

He keeps saying “we” but if there is a revolution you can be sure he won’t be near it.

Any blood in the streets will be caused by people like this jackass. They don’t get their way, they resort to violence.

Communists have been calling for a Revolution in American for over 70 years. One of their stateside papers is even called Revolution.

Name wasn’t familiar to me

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cromwell

“He is the son of actress Kay Johnson (1904–1975) and actor and director John Cromwell (1886–1979), who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era.”


https://deadline.com/2015/07/james-cromwell-imminent-threat-documentary-1201467391/

Cromwell feels the film helpfully explains how FISA courts have empowered a system of surveillance that has gone so overboard that actual useful intel often gets lost in the sheer volume. “We have done so much eavesdropping around the world that we protect the mechanism of surveillance at the cost of civil liberties, which is a step down the road toward totalitarianism,” said Cromwell. An animal rights activist, he feels even from his own experience that surveillance is used against those perceived as enemies of powerful special interest groups. “People I know in the field of animal rights, who work for reforms in slaughterhouses, against euthanasia in medical testing, well, their phones are tapped,” Cromwell said. “I believe this is also true for opponents of fracking, gas pipelines, oil, mining, Big Pharma and Big Agra, all of these powerful conglomerates.”

john cromwellCromwell became attuned early to the high price paid by finding yourself on the wrong side of a political groundswell. It happened to his film director father, who was blacklisted during Senator McCarthy’s heyday. “I’ll tell you why my father was blacklisted, if you have the time,” he said. “The House Un-American Activities Committee had lost its mandate, and was on the verge of being dissolved. They decided what they needed was press coverage, and someone said, go out to Hollywood, where they’re just brimming with communists. Guys like Robert Montgomery and Adolphe Menjou were only too happy to help and then they figured the committee figured it would get a lot of publicity if they got people to name names. My father was the president of the Directors Guild and at one time had been a member of the Hollywood Democrats, a liberal organization, but then he got busy and left. They moved a little more to the left, maybe you’d call them progressive Democrats. My father had a party at his house, where four members of the Moscow Arts Theater were invited. They explained to my father what happens to young people who graduated from the conservatory. They were sent to the provinces to perform, and gradually they made their way back to Moscow, so they were fully seasoned and had a chance to perfect technique, and they were not overwhelmed by the attention and pressure of performing in the largest theaters. So my father said, that’s how it should be done here. We take the best and brightest from New York or California, and they have a helluva time getting a job, and we use them up quickly and they’re gone. That’s no way to develop talent.”

Cromwell said a harmless conversation was turned into something else by Menjou, a staunch anti-communist who was nominated for an Oscar for The Front Page in 1931, and before that starred in Charlie Chaplin’s A Woman Of Paris. “My father was at his house in Oregon and went to the mailbox and found Life Magazine had done this whole story on Menjou, who said that the biggest communist in the whole of Los Angeles is John Cromwell. This was based entirely on overhearing my father’s conversation with the Russians and the gentle criticism of how Hollywood handles young artists. My father had left New York before the communist movement and he missed the whole period when the Communist party tried to enlist members and got involved in unions.” Cromwell was called in to testify, based on Menjou’s accusation. He testified same day as Bertold Brecht, who charmed the committee, and, the younger Cromwell said, “was the only real communist in the bunch, but he got a commendation for his testimony and went right to the airport and flew to East Germany.” His father had it rougher. While the committee accepted his explanation that he had nothing to do with any of it, he was ordered to publicly apologize before the committee. When he refused, Cromwell was blacklisted.

Cromwell said that could have harmed his father, but circumstance, and Howard Hughes’ zeal to punish those accused of being communists, actually cushioned the blow.

“My father had just signed a $1 million contract with RKO to make pictures, and then Dore Schary sold the studio to Howard Hughes, who was completely caught up in hating communists,” Cromwell said. “So he tried to force my father to do a film called I Married A Communist. My father knew what he was up to and said, I’ll do it, but the script is so terrible, it needs a rewrite. Months passed and they could not get a make-able script and it got to where by contract they would have had to pay him double. So they bought him out, and gave him the full sum of $1 million.”


Odd/curious/queer that this dolt doesn’t see any problems with the Deep State using fraudulent FISA applications to wiretap a presidential nominee or lie to and leak to the press. No, Obama was without flaw. Only Bush, Trump, Reagan, etc are the ones taking us on a road to fascism.

And the government didn’t blacklist people. The public blacklisted certain names. Hollywood sometimes still hired those people using pseudonyms so the ticket buying public wouldn’t get wise.

People who have jobs and are raising their families don’t have time or need for a revolution.
