#1 Oops, page 2
The Indymediots are getting hysterical over the activities of the Protest Warriors and similar conservative groups. This once again proves that left conformists are very easily intimidated, probably the reason they are lefties in the first place:
Commies kill dissidents, Republicans don't; safer to be a commie.
Jihadis issue fatwas, Jews don't; better to support the jihadis.

#2 There is, in fact, a worldwide groundswell of resistance to leftist intimidation, lies, incitement, and mob rule.

Besides the PW and other campus dissidents, we have incidents like the Ward Churchill cancellations, the take-down of the lynched soldier effigy in Sacramento, and the quite amazing resistance put up by British oil traders to a GreenPeace invasion.

I think this is related to the ongoing collapse of the institutional media, whose authority has served as an impenetrable shield for leftist agitators for decades.

The truth about these depraved power-seekers, the pop-left axis, has always leaked out around the edges of the media shield. Now those leaks have become a flood and people are fighting back.

#3 The left thinks it's the 1960's again. Unfortunately it's more like the 1930's / 1940's.

#4 Indy media isn't even a bad joke. They are as closed minded as they come. Mostly they serve as a front for international wannabe anarcho-terrorists and violent transnational socialists. When I read the claim that there is no liberal bias in higher education I stopped reading and started skimming. They make the same kinds of claims for the media having a âright wing biasâ. Now knowing the rest of the article would be a pile of unconnected facts strung together with fabrications to prove this fellows claims of a right wing âcorporatistâ plot against higher education I proceeded to skim. I also knew to this clown would claim conservative student groups are akin something as evil as fascists. These people hate it when people fight back. Their idea of free speech is shouting others down. A free press is vandalizing your paper rack or stealing your pamphlets. Free speech is roughing you up and trashing your signs. These Indy Media types are the guys wearing the black balaclavas, hurling bricks, rocks and fireworks at the police. They are the ones starting riots and looting stores at international conferences.

I am all for treating people in a civil way but in the case of these types, having been around them from my youth up until now. I say slug them first before they slug you. You can not trust one word they say as they are just trying to get over on you. They have no morals or scruples. Total wastes of human skin that it is not safe to turn your back on.

#5 I don't visit too many Leftwing sites, but I have been struck recently by how defeatist they are - 'We are losing and its going to get worse'. Well, for once I agree with them for the reason AC states.

#6 Agreed Phil, they know they're in an end-game.

OT. Caught the Sea Kings in the Sun lyrics from yesterday = A scream! But it caused an earworm.

More like the 1770s.

I've been reading "Undercover", the story of an American immigrant who went under cover among the fascist groups in the US in the 1930s. The organizations he describes -- their tactics, language, anger, and organization -- more closely resemble the modern left than the modern right.

Heck, some of their rhetoric -- particularly their hatred of democracy and antisemitism -- sounds the same, too.

#12 SPOD -- Current leftist theory says there is no such thing as free speech. Their dogma states that free speech is actually a tool of oppression, since, if people are free to make their own minds up, they may come to conclusions that are against their own class/race interests.
