Golden Globes: Aaron Sorkin Quotes Leftist Rioter Abbie Hoffman While Condemning Capitol Hill Riots
breitbart ^ | 28 Feb 2021 | DAVID NG28 Feb 2021

Screenwriter-director Aaron Sorkin used his Golden Globes win on Sunday as an opportunity to get on his political soapbox, quoting radical leftist Abbie Hoffman to condemn the Capitol Hill riots of January 6.

Aaron Sorkin won an award for his screenplay for the Netflix movie The Trial of the Chicago 7. In his acceptance speech, the Hollywood writer, known for The West Wing and The Newsroom, quoted the late left-wing activist Abbie Hoffman, who is one of the protagonists of the historical drama.

“Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it’s something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles,” Sorkin said, quoting Hoffman.

He added: “I don’t need any more evidence than January 6 to agree with this.”

Sorkin, who created NBC’s The West Wing, was one of Hollywood’s most passionate anti-Trump voices during the presidential race last year.

He called then-President Donald Trump “staggeringly, breathtakingly dumb” and helped to organize a West Wing revival in partnership with Michelle Obama’s effort to register voters.

Sorkin has repeatedly bashed Trump in the media. In a 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he described the president as a “dumb guy” with an “observable psychiatric disorder.”

So Sorkin mouths off the Trump is “dumb” and has an observable psychiatric disorder. Must be “patriotism.”

Let’s remember to keep Sorkin on our list. The S List (stands for special list) to get greeting cards, flowers, boxes of candy and gift cards. Or something.

Sorkin is a narcissistic cokehead who dumped his young wife and family in order to more freely indulge himself in immoral behavior, and he’s not fit to carry Donald Trump’s golf bag. As a writer, he lacks subtlety and art, and as a human being, he’s the bottom of the barrel.

Liberal wuss, Chrissy Wallace, angrily said on Jan 6 that he had been a reporter covering the Vietnam War protests and never once saw any of the "anti-war" protesters get near the US Capitol. (in reality, they weren't anti-war, they were just anti-US military. They were communists who were on the side of the North Vietnamese enemy)

In fact, the communist-revolutionary, domestic terrorist, Weather Underground openly bragged about bombing the US Capitol AND the Pentagon!















"VVAW-supported demonstration during the Washington Spring Offensive,
April - May 1971. Notice the North Vietnamese and VietCong flags."

Ironic worlds from a leftist fascist. In leftyworld, democracy is only OK if you “vote” for leftists candidates and ensure the elites have all the wealth.

Black Lives Matter [New York] leader states if US ‘doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system’

Black Lives Matter co-founder describes herself as ‘trained Marxist’

by Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, June 25, 2020

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.

Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.


“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.

We are trained Marxists. ...”

“Mann was elected to SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] national committee in 1968.[18] He told the Associated Press that he believed in “continuous resistance” against “institutions and policies of corporate capitalism” and that SDS chapters transition from campus protests groups to community groups that would guide students as a “de facto government.”[19]

When SDS splintered into three groups in 1969, Mann, then a leader in the SDS faction, the Weathermen (Weather Underground), adopted the Revolutionary Youth Movement’s belief that violent “direct action,” a euphemism for terrorism, should be used as a tactic to dismantle the group’s perceived power centers of “US imperialism”.[20]

Mann and 20 others were arrested in September 1969 for participation in a direct action against the Harvard Center for International Affairs, which the Revolutionary Youth Movement saw as a university-sponsored institution for counter-insurgency.[14] [21]

Mann and 24 other Weathermen were charged with conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the police headquarters on November 8, 1969.

Mann surrendered to the police on four counts stemming from the November 8 incident: conspiracy to commit murder, assault with intent to commit murder, promotion of anarchy, and threatening.[22]

Mann was sentenced to two years in prison of which he spent 18 months in Billerica, Deer Island, and Concord State Prison ...”

BLM co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, says in interview she and co-founder, Alicia Garza, are inspired by Mao Zedong

Meanwhile, Mao Zedong, via his so-called “Great Leap Forward” and “Cultural Revolution”, is reported to have killed close to 70 million people!

Below, from Time Magazine, February 26, 2018

“[Patrisse] Cullors [CO-FOUNDER “BLACK LIVES MATTER”] weaves her intellectual influences into this narrative, from black feminist writers like Audre Lorde and bell hooks, to Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong.

Reading those social philosophers “provided a new understanding around what our economies could look like,” she says.

Profile: Mao Zedong (aka Mao tse-Tung)

“Mao Zedong was the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party from 1949 until his death in 1976.

Mao is arguably the greatest mass murderer in history, eclipsing even the murderous Joesph Stalin in this regard.

Some 70 million Chinese, along with countless Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchus, Koreans, Hmong, Uyghurs, and other nationalities, perished at his hands during his long and brutal reign.”

to sell his movie he trashes Trump. Bad move.

btw, I watched the movie last night. The only real point to come out of it was Tom Hayden started the riot, not the police.

Hayden was famous for his anti-war activities, marrying Jane Fonda and for stating that his long-term goal was ‘the peaceful, non-violent disappearance of the white race.” ( Schwartz, Benjamin. “Queen Jane, Approximately”. The New Yorker. Retrieved October 24, 2016.)

An aside, there was also something called a Wrap-Brown (phonetic) law that may be pertinent to Jan 6 defendants. (1957 crossing state lines to incite law, charges later dropped on appeal)

BTW, that show's star (The West Wing), Martin Sheen, has been closely aligned with communist organizations such as Workers World Party and The Revolutionary Communist Party for decades. He actually speaks at their events. A real commie POS. It's no wonder the commie Sorkin chose him for the starring role.
