Truth Suffers in Defense of Antifa

[jimnyc]

Figures it emanates from WAPO. Absolutely, shitheads from both sides. But the overwhelming majority have been attacks towards Trump supporters. It started "innocently" enough with eggings and throwing things and small beatings to anyone daring to wear anything Trump related going to rallies. Then came the black masks aka Antifa and made it 10x worse. This woman expects people to believe it's not only the opposite when looking at where the violence is coming from - but claims the alt-right are somehow the blame in all of this.

Ummm, no. ANYONE being violent is to blame. But if one wants to point out groups, then of course it's the white nationalists and the KKK, and then of course Antifa.

Truth Suffers in Defense of Antifa

For decades, liberal journalists have often tried to discredit conservative protest movements, from the tea party to the pro-lifers, by smearing them with violent extremists. So it's fascinating to read liberal Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan warn on Sept. 4 against tarring the anti-Trump "resistance" with an antifa brush. The headline read "Quick to Vilify, But Slow to Explain It."

Sullivan claimed that all most people know about antifa, the far-left-leaning militant groups, is what they've heard from President Trump and what they've guessed from video of "club-wielding protesters shown endlessly on TV." This leads them to think antifa members are "the left-wing equivalent of neo-Nazis." Sullivan said, "That's not only untrue, but it has the effect of tarring everyone who protests Trump, as well as those who peacefully march for climate-change awareness or rally against hate-mongering speakers."

She complained that the term "antifa" has been "quickly weaponized" and quoted leftist writer Paul Blest to claim that antifa's level of violence is nearly nonexistent next to the extremist right. Blest said, "To pretend that the alt-right and Antifa are comparable is like equating the danger of playing Russian roulette with taking a walk."

Try asking someone beaten half to death by antifa thugs whether it felt like a walk in the park.

In Sullivan's mind, the so-called alt-right has faced an easy road. She bizarrely claimed that "a prettied-up celebrity status accrued to white-nationalist leader Richard Spencer, who was profiled everywhere with flattering photos and reasonable-sounding quotes." But she didn't provide a single example of a media outlet, liberal or conservative, flattering Spencer with "prettied-up celebrity status" ... because it didn't happen.

ABC's interviews of Spencer were described on-screen with words like "Hate Among Us" and "Confronting Hate." He openly talked about an approaching race war, which is not very "reasonable-sounding." Sullivan's own Washington Post described him with headlines like "Richard Spencer's Vision: Apartheid in America" and "Six Angry Men and Their Long Roads of Hate."

Sullivan also relayed questionable numbers from the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL. She said: "Right-wing extremists committed 74 percent of the 372 politically motivated murders recorded in the United States between 2007 and 2016. Leftwing extremists committed less than 2 percent."

Of course, most conservatives don't consider the Hitler-adoring National Socialist extremists to be right-wing. Worse yet, Sullivan was wrong to claim that the ADL only counted "politically motivated" murders. Its "Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2016" report explicitly stated that it counted all murders by the extremists it identified, including "non-ideological" murders in the midst of "gang-related and traditional criminal activity."

What's the difference between a black antifa mask and a white cone hood?

What's the difference between a black antifa mask and a white cone hood?

None, but if one is a liberal fruitcake--black is in.... way to dress and jives with their black brothers in dress and
grievance inspired violence and demanding all opposition submit to their childish and immature pity-me party agenda.
Me, I am damn well-known not to bow to demands, and damn sure not to force--unless it knocks me the hell out..
Knock on wood, been in a many a fight-- got many scars as proof-- but have never been knocked out.
Anything comes at me or mine , with mask on , with violence intended -- is going to damn well see far, far more violence than they ever anticipated.
And if lucky , they may even wake the hell up to talk about it but arent likely to ever try it again... Fact..--Tyr

Someone approaches me like these clowns do...will be in for one hell of a surprise, after I rip off the
mask and jam it up their ass.

That really sums it up for me! I have been saying the same thing all along.

Show your freakin' face if you are so proud of what you beleive in!

Cowards All!

I'd have to say ISIS has the coolest costumes. The other two look like clown suits. And I hear ya ... you better have a pair big enough to not wear a mask or don't bother coming around here. I'll just start licking my chops.
