MARINE Le Pen's Front National headquarters in Paris has been targeted by arsonists with threats to continue "every day until the election."

Friefighters rushed to the building in central Paris at around 2:40 am this morning when police sources said that the fire was "probably of criminal origin."

The group "Fighting Xenophobie"-Fighting Racism, has admitted carrying out the attack by throwing Molotov cocktails at the building.....

Leader of the Front National, Marine Le Pen was not in the building and said: "I did not know anything about it until the authorities contacted me."

"These groups are the ones who destroyed businesses, burned cars in demonstrations, attack the police

I am not surprised because the government of Francois Hollande has let them do it for months."...........

The first round of the election is one week from Sunday (April 23).

The angry left wing hatred for Le Pen is coming out along with rising support for the leftist commie Jean Luc Melenchon.

He is showing in the polls around 18 percent virtually tied with Fillon and not too far behind Macron.

What if the polls underestimate his support like they do Marine Le Pen's?

We may have a second round vote on May 7th with Le Pen versus Melenchon if this trend continues.

Is the media going to call out the campaign of hate among the Far Left in France?

Is the media going to demand that the Left Wing candidate(s) denounce the actions of their supporters?

Polls never underestimate candidates on the left. They overestimate them but they never document less support than they have.

The media IS the left. It is the heart of the left.

Exactly. I did not figure it out until 1995.

When the Republicans won both the House and the Senate, I expected serious reforms.

The Republicans, under Newt, started to do them, got a couple though, then the Establishment Media recovered from their shock at the election and came down on them like a ton of bricks. The Establishment Media brought the Republican revolution to a standstill.

They lost a lot of credibility doing it; they revealed themselves, and have been losing more and becomeing more openly partisan ever since.

The alternate media and social media have grown. Trump was able to take advantage of these trends and defeat the Establishment.

Do you happen to know this group's French name? I'm wondering if they have any links to American groups opposing Trump such as Refuse Fascism.

They're called Kombattre La Xénophobie (Fight Xenophobia): https://newsradiotvmeliiran12.blogspot.com/2017/04/le-pen-campaign-hq-in-paris-targeted-by.html: "A group calling itself 'Kombattre La Xénophobie', or Fight Xenophobia, later claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to the AFP news agency."
