Shattuck: Radical left resorts to intimidation
The Boston Herald ^ | 02-12-17 | Tom Shattuck

Posted on 02/12/2017 7:14:28 AM PST by calvincaspian

The weekend began with another big win in the minds of progressives, Democrats, and various other affiliates of the Alt-left, pouncing on Betsy DeVos, the new secretary of education, as she attempted to pay a visit to a public school in Washington.

A clearly shaken DeVos endured shouts and taunts while being blocked from the entrance. That today’s Democrats don’t see the irony of standing in school doorways and preventing the lawful entry of others, says a lot.

They are morally lost. They’ve become the physical incarnation of the thugs and bogeymen they purport lie within the souls of conservatives.

“Resorts” to intimidation? Really? The only thing that has changed is that now they’re resorting to physical violence.

BTW - "Linda" Graham is on Fox now saying Gorsuch will get the 60 votes to allow a full vote and is talking bad about the left's constant attacks on Trump - I wonder what his agenda could be.....

Making noise, trying to stay relevant.

Conservatives and Republicans are fearful that once their (righteous) anger is unleashed, the damage may be irreparable. It isn’t fear or cowardice, it’s civility and a sense of responsibility. Something no leftist has ever had.

That may be, but it is also the reason that republicans never put a stop to the Marxist Muslim and his policies of burn and destroy America.

I wish her body guards would have let her walk through those protestors and in through front door, with a camera recording her every move. Would they get physical with her, would they spit on her...

There were unconfirmed reports that DeVos might actually have been physically assaulted.

Whatever happened, her expression in the video speaks volumes.

We Tea Party demonstrators never, ever did anything remotely like this. Were we angry? You bet! - but our protests were 100% peaceful. Did we ever assault, threaten or even block anyone? No.

Democrats stood on the steps of schools to keep the Black students out. Now they stand on them to keep the Black students from escaping.

Nice. Did you lift that, or is it original?

No, it doesn’t. To suggest liberal scum “lost” their moral moorings suggests they at one time had them... that has not been the case for a generation.
