As I was musing over the news about the Las Vegas professor who shot himself in the arm to protest the legitimate election of Donald Trump, I came across this tidbit:
A Castro Valley man shouting profanities about President Trump attacked a Republican congressional candidate who was working an election booth at a town festival, threatening him and trying to stab him with a switchblade, authorities and the candidate said Tuesday.
Farzad Vincent Fazeli, 35, was jailed after the alleged Sunday attack on Rudy Peters at the Castro Valley Fall Festival. Alameda County prosecutors charged Fazeli on Tuesday with a felony count of making criminal threats and misdemeanor counts of exhibiting a deadly weapon and possessing a switchblade.
No one was seriously injured. In an interview, Peters said he had never been concerned about his safety prior to Sunday, though his wife has often warned him to be careful.
The regular violence from the left and the smidgeon of violence from the far right is getting scary. The rhetoric, mostly from the left is directing their minions to resort to act of violence…. where does this take us folks? If we stay on this trajectory, where are we going to be in another decade?
Yeah, … Dude … driving vehicles into protesters is NOT a “smidgen”.

And from Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, no less.
So Lippy has nothing to say about the regular violence from her fellows?
Tell that to Steve Scalise or Gabrielle Giffords.
Or the cops killed after Ferguson.
Violence and aggressive, in your face intimidation. She has nothing to say on the record numbers of those types of attack either. Character assassination is a party game on the left…done up with faux respectability…media is real good at helping left leadership with that game.
“The regular violence from the left and the smidgeon of violence from the far right ….”
I point out that this a bogus assessment of the situation, that’s all.
SOP for the left, deflect, change the subject, project, and never, never admit to anything.
The BBC… “…the media tends to excuse violence by Antifa militants just because they are fighting white supremacists….”
I’d say it’s the same for BLM associated violence.
Libby and her pals like to lump white supremacists in with the Republican Party even though the party formally renounced that bunch years ago.
The thing is their leaders don’t do that with radicals on the left. They might distance themselves during elections but they still hang with them. BLM went to the WH. Farrakhan was at the million man march and helped organize it. Bill Ayers worked with Obama in Chicago, lived next door, and was seen at an Occupy event schooling young minds on activism…the guy who used bombs! SEIU activists show up at Town Hall meetings and rallies to harass and agitate, often violently. So does BLM and Antifa.
The Dem’s tent includes all kinds of violent (and ugly) creeps.
Sure their leaders may make a generic speech saying they “don’t condone violence” and it’s “always inappropriate” but they don’t name names cause they don’t want to lose those votes and they also make excuses that they wouldn’t accept from Trump or any other Republican. Hypocrites! Liars!
