Can you imagine if a significant Republican were to acknowledge that violence was a good thing in pursuit of political ends?<\/p>\n

No, not Donald Trump urging his supporters to “hit back”, at a time when people were, y’know,\u00a0hitting them first<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>.No, actually forming groups and going out and beating up people who dissent from the GOP.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine the projectile pants-soiling that’d happen?<\/p>\n

Especially if it weren’t some marginal figure – but a sitting Congressman?\u00a0 To say nothing of a member of the party’s central leadership?<\/p>\n

But as usual – as\u00a0always<\/em> – it’s the Democrats doing it.\u00a0 \u00a0Keith Ellison, to – let’s be honest, nobody’s surprise – has endorsed\u00a0The Antifa Handbook<\/em><\/p>\n

Ellison, the deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee,\u00a0posted a photo on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0Wednesday of himself posing with the book \u201cAntifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.\u201d The book calls violence during counter-protests \u201ca small though vital sliver of anti-fascist activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ellison\u2019s post said the book should \u201cstrike fear into the heart\u201d of President Donald Trump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Big Left, via its subsidiary Big Media, loves to remind us that “Right Wing Violence” is the “real” danger, and is lurking around the corner, one of these days, honest.<\/p>\n

But it seems all the actual violence, and endorsement of more violence, to say nothing of use of mob influence to control society<\/a>, is coming from the left.<\/p>\n
