Revolutionary Violence and the Left

I'll cover some of these threats to Trump later, but first, I'd like to give some historical examples of how the Left operates in "Democracies." The Conscience of a Co... Barry Goldwater Best Price: $4.46 Buy New $5.25 In the 1930's, the rightist Calvo Sotelo gave a fiery speech in the Spanish parliament denouncing Communists.

" To give us an idea of the level of bullying on the left at that time, in that same parliamentary session, the communist deputy Dolores Ibárruri, "La Pasionaria", sentenced Calvo Sotelo: "This man has spoken for the last time.

The Left denounced Barry Goldwater, who in domestic politics was a moderate anti-New Dealer, as a "Fascist," "Hitler" and "Insane," Clearly, the voters wouldn't be allowed to select him, and you can be sure that if his prospects for victory had looked better, they Left would have targeted him for death.

Here are some examples of how the Left compared Goldwater to Hitler: " Martin Luther King, Jr.: "We see dangerous signs of Hitlerism in the Goldwater campaign.

" Civil rights activist Roy Wilkins: Goldwater's election "would bring about a police state.

" California Governor Pat Brown: Goldwater's acceptance speech "had the stench of fascism.

" The Chicago Defender ran the headline: "GOP Convention, 1964 Recalls Germany, 1933." Not to be outdone, Daniel Schorr of CBS News simply made up a story-or passed along a rumor too good to check-that Goldwater was in touch with the right wing in Germany.

The London Observer, usually a sober publication, found "disquieting similarities" between Hitler and Goldwater.

The media made much of a trumped up "poll" of 1,189 psychiatrists who thought Goldwater was "psychologically unfit" to be president.

We all admire his heroic reaction to the attempt to kill him, but the Left had been threatening him with death long before his fateful speech at the Pennsylvania rally.

Let's do everything we can to ensure that while we are living in a democracy, we can choose somebody that the Left wants to kill.
