A “progressive” propaganda website that’s spent the past three years shamelessly shilling for DFL politicians, reports not taking any backlash over its indirect ideological ties to the “Holodomor<\/em>“, or Soviet-induced starvation of seven million Ukrainians in the 1930’s.<\/p>\n “Really, it’s been sixty years since the American left cuddled up to Stalin” reports Chris Steller, spokesbeing for the Minnesoros “Independent”<\/em>, struggling to dissociate himself and the publication from the forced expropriations of food and destruction of crops and farmland, and mass-relocations of civilians to Siberia,\u00a0that led to the slow, painful starvation of seven million human beings.\u00a0 “<\/em>Hubert Humphrey drove the Stalinists out of the DFL in 1976″, he added, ignoring the fact that he, as a member of the media, shares culpability with Walter Duranty, the New York Times <\/em>reporter that willfully suppressed details of Stalin’s atrocities.<\/p>\n Stellers also denies any backlash from his publication’s ideological comity with the Minnesota DFL, of which former Symbionese Liberation Army terrorist Kathleen Soliah was a member while hiding out for twenty years in Saint Paul.\u00a0 Soliah was recently released from prison after serving a sentence for complicity in a murder carried out during a botched bank robbery in the seventies, about which Steller also claims ignorance.<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n Stupid, right?<\/p>\n Well, at least my bit is fictional.\u00a0 Chris Steller at the “Independent”<\/em> gave us the real thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n An \u201cEnd the Fed\u201d group that will rally this afternoon outside the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank hasn\u2019t felt a backlash since Wednesday\u2019s arrest of James von Brunn<\/font><\/strong><\/a> in the fatal shooting of a guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Von Brunn, who mixed anti-Semitism with antipathy for the Federal Reserve<\/font><\/strong><\/a>, served six years in prison for his 1981 attempt to take Federal Reserve board members captive<\/font><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Conservative Web outlets with whom von Brunn consorted quickly moved to dissociate themselves from the 88-year-old white supremacist after Tuesday\u2019s shooting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Honestly, I try to stay civil.\u00a0 I try really, really hard to be the conservative that can have a face-to-face debate with the other guys and not troll through the gutter.\u00a0 I really do.\u00a0 And I try to take the high road; I keep the language on this blog generally PG13.<\/p>\n But I almost ripped Congressman Ellison’s head off Saturday for saying conservatives “nod and wink at James Von Brunn”.\u00a0<\/p>\n He was a neo-Nazi<\/em> and a convicted felon.\u00a0 He killed people<\/em>.\u00a0 Had I been in DC, and the powers that be in their infinite wisdom allowed me to carry a concealed handgun, and no security guards were there to do it, and the shoot were legal under self-defense law, I’d have done it myself.\u00a0 And I know of no credible conservative anywhere<\/em> who backs anything Von Brunn ever stood for – and writing for “The Freep” does not make him a “credible conservative”.<\/p>\n And to argue otherwise – as Representative Ellison did this past weekend on “Radio Free Nation” – is the depth of rhetorical cowardice<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n So let me make this perfectly clear to every <\/em>one of you lefties that wants to try to smear all conservatism by association with Von Brunn, from Keith Ellison (with all due respect) down to the most scabrous, spyrochaetal-paretic\u00a0leftyblogger.<\/p>\n Go screw yourself.\u00a0 You are not worthy of civil discussion.<\/em><\/p>\n And grow some cojones<\/em> while you’re at it and tell me to my face<\/em> how much I support, and how closely I’m ideologically linked to James Von Brunn.\u00a0 Because while I try to take the high road, I will wipe the low road, and the gutters alongside, with your face.<\/p>\n Rhetorically speaking, of course.<\/p>\n Do this, or hold your scabrous tongue.<\/p>\n That is all.<\/p>\n Really, really all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A “progressive” propaganda website that’s spent the past three years shamelessly shilling for DFL politicians, reports not taking any backlash over its indirect ideological ties to the “Holodomor“, or Soviet-induced starvation of seven million Ukrainians in the 1930’s. “Really, it’s been sixty years since the American left cuddled up to Stalin” reports Chris Steller, spokesbeing […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stupid"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4933"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22388,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4933\/revisions\/22388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
