Orwellian Democrats Claim Violence Equals Peace
By: Deroy Murdock
It’s time to call out the rioters and vandals for what they are, domestic terrorists and to put down their insurrection against the United States of America. It’s time for the democrat party to stop their denial of what is happening. It’s time they confront the violence for what it is and stop demonizing federal civilian law enforcement officers.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Denial is not just a river in Egypt, as the ancient joke goes.
It’s the Democratic/media/left’s comprehensive response to the nationwide riots that rage on, seven weeks after the funeral of police-brutality victim George Floyd.
His memory has been kidnapped by the most violent insurrectionists America has seen since 1968.
"Do you disavow the violence from Antifa that’s happening in Portland right now?" journalist Austen Fleccas asked Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on Sunday. " That’s a myth that’s being spread only in Washington, D.C.," Nadler replied.
On Tuesday, Nadler further explained Portland’s mythical instability.
He excoriated U.S. Atty. Gen. William "Bill" Barr at a hearing/verbal abuse session that the U.S. House Judiciary Committee arranged for the attorney general.
Clearly enraged by the Trump administration’s surge of federal officers sent to Portland to combat the carnage that is not happening there, Nadler said, " The president wants footage for his campaign ads , and you appear to be serving it up to him as ordered."
The Judiciary chairman added, "Now you are projecting fear and violence nationwide in pursuit of obvious political objectives. Shame on you, Mr. Barr. Shame on you."
"The playbook is to create the impression that there is violence, that he must send in federal troops," Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said at Tuesday’s meeting.
"And that is how he [President Trump] hopes to win the election."
Gov. Kate Brown, D-Ore., wrote Wednesday via Twitter that federal agents "have acted as an occupying force & brought violence."
Brown’s words echoed those of Mayor Ted Wheeler, D-Portland. As he wrote via Twitter on July 14, "my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days. . . We do not need or want their help."
But on July 3, Wheeler blamed others for his city’s chaos.
"I remain deeply concerned, however, by groups who continue to perpetrate violence and vandalism on our streets," Wheeler wrote via Twitter, a day before federal Homeland Security officers reached Portland. "This has been going on for more than a month now."
Unlike House Democrats, who mainly told Barr to shut up, Republicans introduced a radical reform: They asked Barr questions and let him answer.
"As far as the weapons you mentioned, let me get this straight," said Representative Steve Chabot, R-Ohio. He listed "rifles, explosives, knives, saws, sledgehammers, Tasers, slingshots, rocks, bricks, lasers. Have I missed anything?"
"You have missed some things, but that’s a good list," Barr replied. "They have these powerful slingshots with ball bearings that they shoot. They have used pellet guns, we believe. We have found those projectiles have penetrated Marshals to the bone. . . They do start fires. They start fires, if they can get the fire inside or through the windows. And they start fires along the outside of the courthouse. When the Marshals come out to try to deal with the fires, they are assaulted."
The Associated Press’ Michael Balsamo embedded himself inside the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse. His dispatches, via Twitter, are chilling. "The lights inside the courthouse have to be turned off for safety & the light from high-powered lasers bounced across the lobby almost all night. The fear is palpable. Three officers were struck in the last few weeks & still haven’t regained their vision ."
DHS’ deployment to Portland is not ritual chest beating.
It’s not toxic masculinity.
It’s the law.
According to 40 U.S.C. § 1315, the Secretary of Homeland Security "shall protect the buildings , grounds, and property that are owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government."
Acting Secretary Chad Wolf would break federal law if he left the courthouse undefended and let Antifa & Co. burn it to the ground. "What makes me concerned for the country is this is the first time in my memory that the leaders of one of our great two political parties, the Democratic Party, are not coming out and condemning mob violence and the attack on federal courts," Attorney General Barr said. "Why can’t we just say violence against federal courts has to stop? Could we hear something like that?"

Barr/tRump sent in unidentified paramilitary thugs/goons to protect a building from graffiti. Ridiculous.
None of that is the truth.
You have got it all backwards. The protests will stop as soon as the police stop murdering unarmed citizens and brutalizing peaceful protesters. It is that simple...
My thoughts exactly.
Violence can not be met by dialogue or compromise. It can only be put down by whatever means first whatever the cost, then once the constitutional requirements per the 1st amendment for peaceable assembly to redress grievances is met like Rev. King lived up to, then we can address the legitimate issues people have.
What violence?
Barr/tRumps thugs/goons went into what had been/become a very small area of peaceful protesters. They're the ones, Barr/tRumps' thugs/goons, who brought violence.
Any violence/vandalism that had occurred before that, those who did violence/vandalism, were arrested.

There was violence going on in Portland in particular and other cities before federal law enforcement agencies sent additional persons in there to lawfully protect federal persons and property from attack. That the lawless anarchists became more violent is not the issue. Federal law enforcement along with state and local should use whatever means needed to put down the violence and return to situation to strictly and only legal peaceful protests. Period.
You believe anything Jim Jordan says? Or Barr?
No. I believe virtually everything each of them has said about this
Did you not believe your own eyes or was PBS News Hour videos too conservative a news source for you?
Peaceful protesters are not being impacted. Police murder of unarmed citizens is a very rare occurrence and is not grounds to use to stop their protection of the the rest of us. It’s time to stop using the occasional bad apple in a police department to vilify and defame all of them. As to protesters if they are truly peaceful nothing is going to happen. If they are Looters, vandals, rioters, they are not peaceful and I endorse putting them down, taking them out, stopping that activity by any means needed to end it. Period. It is that simple. We back the blue and in our cities and counties we increase their funding and support The blue In case that kind of crap in the biggest cities tries to come to an area near us.
"Peaceful protesters are not being impacted."
Of course they are. They're the ones who were grabbed off the street for no reason. That veteran was just standing there and his hand was broken in two places.
Your statement is a complete pack of lies.
None of what is in your article is the truth.
It is the truth.
It's all lies.
It’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God!
"Orwellian Democrats." Sounds like the fascist are getting nervous. The Russian/Saudi money and those financials from the 'hair man' creating a ground shift?
I don't know why some bother posting their outrageous tripe.
I don't understand it either but here you are posting again
Lol!
All the looting, vandalism, and rioting are causing a law and order backlash that is going to lead to the re election of the President as he defends civil society and American history and traditions and the rule of law.
The only reason Barr/tRump sent his unidentifiable mercenary/paramilitary/thugs/goons was to play to his base (20%). It backfired on him. BIGLY.
The backlash is against Trump's authoritarian regime and will result in him getting thumped...
The vandalism is instigated by white nationalist to smear the movement against unwarranted brutality.
That is clearly false. It is Antifa and far left anarchy groups feeding the violence along with the BLM calls for cancel culture vs Churches, Jesus, Mary, disciples, stained glass, statues, etc.
No, it is clearly TRUE.
It is false, wholly false, and nothing but false....
It's the truth, and nothing but the truth.

What "unidentifiable mercenary/paramilitary/thugs/goons" would that be ? I live in the Portland area and never saw any other than those that were throwing rocks and bottles and we're shooting fireworks at law enforcement personnel and attempting to commit arson on a federal court house.
And then there’s this outrage from them:

Key word peaceably. Democrats wouldn’t condemn antifa and maintained the fiction that virtually all the protests were peaceful.
