I wish I could laugh at this. Sadly this process began years ago and is now approaching it's inevitable conclusion.

[jersey117]

Before this is over we’ll be switching to secessionist

[Olog-hai]

Nobody will know who they’re talking about, at least.

[Intar]

And so begins the 4th Reich...

[bert]

The only good Politico staffer is a dead Politico staffer

[volunbeer]

Somebody needs to print up some “Deplorable Extremist” bumper stickers immediately.

[Rurudyne]

What remains of the old extreme Left 5hat is extreme to the Left anymore?

That is why everything looks like the far Right to them. McGovern would be Right of Center to these extremists goons.

They have their heads so far up their cans they have completely disappeared up their own assholes.

“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.”

[CodeToad]

We want ‘progressives’ and ‘liberals’ to go ahead and use ‘communist’ instead.

[Howie66]

I think that just dropping “journalists” would be a far better idea.

I think that I know something about “extreme”.

[Will88]

Not an original idea. Actually, conservatives have been frequently referred to as extremists by MSM for quite a years, already.

[Responsibility2nd]

So some liberal whack job wants to called me an extremist? What was it that Barry Goldwater once said?

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

[Chode]

said the America hating communist...

[blueplum]

extremists sounds so gauche. Try “Deplorables” - it has a ring to it - like the ring of the Liberty Bell

“Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate that is the setting of dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell. To meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism in Oceania, the ruling English Socialist Party (Ingsoc) created Newspeak, a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the individual’s ability to think and articulate “subversive” concepts such as personal identity, self-expression and free will. Such concepts are criminalized as thoughtcrime since they contradict the prevailing Ingsoc orthodoxy.” -— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

[a fool in paradise]

F Communists.

They engage in everything they claimed McCarthyism was and worse

[Abbeville Conservative]

I urge her to drop dead. If she needs assistance with it that can be arranged.

[Olog-hai]

What they call the “far right” is actually left wing. The purpose of that phrase “far right” is the fabrication of false equivalence, where anything that is truly on the right magically becomes national socialist . . .

That’s fine. I’m dropping the term “journalist” and switching to “urinal cake”.

It’s my understanding that Goldwater got his clock cleaned and the country club RINO’s have shunned such principles since. Reagan revived it for a time and so did Trump, in spades, and the RINO’s undermined both every chance they got.
Tomorrow will be the Ultimate undermining by the Swamp dwelling RINO’s.
