Today In Leftist "Confrontation" News, AKA Agitating for Political Violence

Mitch McConnell chased from Kentucky restaurant by "protesters." From CNN:

One man can be heard calling the senator "turtle head" and repeatedly saying "we know where you live" as the senator and two dining companions climb into their parked vehicle.

A man harassed Kellyanne Conaway at a grocery store.

Stephen Miller was harassed by a bartender at a sushi takeout joint, who followed the Trump aide into the street, giving him the finger and cursing him.

Miller threw out the $80 of sushi he'd just bought -- probably suspecting it had been adulterated by this hateful crew.

Also, they're posting "Wanted" posters of his face around his residence, which certainly seems like a method to encourage a crazy to shoot at him.

In a definite escalation of this new "confrontation" culture, a man harassed Steve Bannon at an independent bookstore. The bookstore's manager told the "protester" to stop it; he didn't, so the bookstore manager called the cops on him.

Perfectly reasonable -- someone was being disruptive in his store, so he called a cop.

The left doesn't see it this way -- they see this small businessman as viciously thwarting a fellow leftist's Right to Harass and Stalk People. So Hillary Clinton campaign advisor Phillipe Reines actually tweeted out the bookstore's address and phone number, with the obvious suggestion that the left now turn to harassing the bookstore owner for refusing to allow his bookstore for purposes of leftist harassment.

Now they're even harassing people who simply don't join in the harassment efforts.

Posted by: joncelli, because somebody had to at July 09, 2018 03:03 PM (RD7QR)

51 Just to repost a previous comment,

I would like to believe this strategy is a miscalculation that will end up hurting the leftists in the end, but is there any reason to think that?

If this targeted campaign of harassment were damaging to the Democrats, the MSM would be omitting these stories. Instead they are proudly trumpeting them.

Encouraging this behavior by news anchors, celebrities and professors has advantages for the left. It adds momentum to the movement - ie. it makes such behavior acceptable, it encourages liberal leaning types to "self-radicalize" as if they were attending a radical mosque every week.

And when this behavior goes unpunished, even when it is directed at very high ranking officials, it may end up having an effect of intimidating them from doing their jobs. It may end up deterring people who care about this country from seeking such appointments to try to combat what is happening. This may happen to even lower level positions. Why join ICE, why agree to be a contractor for the wall if you are going to be doxxed and become the victim of sabotage, vandalism and violence along with your family?

There is a solution to this, but stating it would get me banned, and I don't think we have the stamina for it in any case.

And that's all I can say on the matter because this sort of thing makes my blood boil.

After that point things will get wild pretty quick, as (A. the Left screams for 'justice' against whomever reacted to their escalating harassment with possibly-lethal self-defense, and (B. the Right as a whole bellows that any attempts to prosecute that person will result in a forcible release/rescue from prison/court...

Not sure what the proper response is - or if any response is proper.

The civic culture has been getting trashed for years, is degraded mostly beyond recognition already.

This Third World thuggery is just a nice colorful addition to the mundane but devastating hollowing out (or worse) of "education", the rule of law, integrity of key govt. institutions, etc.

Hoping that no more Hodgkinsons are out there who act before they are discovered, but the odds are not good.

Note: thinking, meaningfully American "Americans" are still mostly on their own. The GOP sits there, with almost nothing to say. Even Trump has not really yet addressed this, in public (that I can think of).

What has the media done over the last few years to in anyway make you think they were clued in to what is and what isn't good in the eyes of the public? These assclowns are now less popular than herpes.

McConnell has taken a lot of shit over the last few years. Some deserved and in my mind some not. But this kind of stuff will serve to rally people on the right behind him, even many people in the middle.

The vast majority of the country does not support harassing people over political differences.

What has the media done over the last few years to in anyway make you think they were clued in to what is and what isn't good in the eyes of the public? These assclowns are now less popular than herpes.

McConnell has taken a lot of shit over the last few years. Some deserved and in my mind some not. But this kind of stuff will serve to rally people on the right behind him, even many people in the middle.

The vast majority of the country does not support harassing people over political differences.

165 The goal of the harassment -- which, btw, is discussed extensively in Alinsky's books -- has very little to do with public perception of the incident, but instead is intended to terrify the victim into compliance. Thus, they want McConnell to actually block Trump's Supreme Court nominee, thinking that unless he does the Left's bidding, they will literally kill him or his family, or at a minimum make his life miserable.

Alinsky's theory is the non-communist policies are enacted by real flesh-and-blood people, and if you directly target those people, you can actually stop the policies from being imposed.

This is similar to the ol' "put the flower in the gun barrel of the National Guardsman" gambit -- if you can "flip" the actual agent of oppression, then you can stop the oppression taking place, regardless of the public opinion or any democratic process that lead to the policy in the first place.

Except now they've reversed the tactic from "change hearts through love" to "change hearts through terror."

You can make a case that McConnell's action greatly contributed to the eventual Trump win. Lots of post election polls showed that appointing SC justices was a big if not the biggest issue for many Trump voters. Without McConnell holding the line against Garland that issue would have been a lot less important.

Thinking about it rationally (stipulating that homicide isn't a rational solution for anything to begin with) even folks who despise Trump can surely see the grave harm such an act would do to their cause. Trump is already a real hero to the working middle class.

Democrats didn't have a strategy for 2017 after the loss, so they defaulted to those with the energy and semblance of a plan:

The Resistance.

All it was was to yell and scream until America realized it's error and gave power back to them.

The Establishment of the Democratic Party, having ceded so much tactical ground to The Resistance, couldn't regain the reins of power within their own power structures without massive internal tremors, so they went along for the past year and a half.

That cession of power will, hopefully, end up cracking the Democratic Party in two. It'll take a loss this year and another in 2020, but I really do hope that a pure Socialist Party rises up out of dissatisfaction for the Democratic Party as it currently stands. Two Leftists Parties going after each other on a national level can only be good for America.

259 All it was was to yell and scream until America realized it's error and gave power back to them.

The Establishment of the Democratic Party, having ceded so much tactical ground to The Resistance, couldn't regain the reins of power within their own power structures without massive internal tremors, so they went along for the past year and a half.

That cession of power will, hopefully, end up cracking the Democratic Party in two. It'll take a loss this year and another in 2020, but I really do hope that a pure Socialist Party rises up out of dissatisfaction for the Democratic Party as it currently stands. Two Leftists Parties going after each other on a national level can only be good for America.

306 The only amazing part is the modern SJWs think they are antiNazi, when they're literally re-enacting Nazi behavior like expert mimics.

The Nazis thought they were hip and cool and edgy and correct as well. They Nazi self___ was identical to the SJW self___ of today.
Posted by: zombie at July 09, 2018 03:27 PM (c+2jX)

Actually the SJWs are much more like the KPD thugs, and advocate much the same policies as the KPD. The Nazis were more of a reaction against Communist violent agitation (and the onerous Treaty of Versailles) than they were original initiators of the street violence.

That is why Nazis received support from people who did not intrinsically share their views (e.g., industrialists, and much of the middle class): they were viewed as the only party that could effectively fight the Reds in the streets and defeat them. Bear in mind that Germans were only too aware of events of the previous 15 years in the USSR, and most of them wanted no part of them.

Unfortunately, the Germans were hosed either way, no matter what they decided.

307 As they were in a Pro Forma session ALL of last week as well as the Fri before. I've been keeping track of their sessions and it seems as if they take EVERY Friday off. No wonder they have to cancel recess. Sheesh..they only meet four days a week when there isn't a federal holiday in sight as it is now - less than that if there is a federal holiday on that Mon then its only two times that week or maybe not at all - like last week.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I
must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is
trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we
fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is
the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will
learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its
parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle
clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of
each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of
my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my
life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

-------------------------
First, I think these Alinsky-attacks are orchestrated by Democrat leadership trying to gin up a street level enthusiasm among the base. Obama called for Democrats to "get in the face" of friends, relatives and neighbors who disagree with his policies, but that isn't happening. What is happening is professional theatrical sorts of orchestrated attacks on prominent Republican or administration figures. I don't see any enthusiasm for direct confrontation among the broader base of Democrats.
Second, civil war takes time to develop and is preceeded by years of violent confrontations. Look at the slo-motion collapse of the Serb and Croation relationship, where a great number died in local violence before the war became widespread.
Third, anyone educated in the history of this country of any other country ripped apart at any time by violent civil war will never wish for such a thing. Those people will rule the day. Those among our citizenry who wish for this sort of thing are quite literally crazy, in my opinion. In the rhetorical battle the rational will win with the broader group.

The Center-Right would have pushed to out the Trump loving cohort, and that cohort would have left willingly.

325 RE popularity (relative) of Medicaid expansion.

The idea of "free" federal money plus the medical industrial complex plus the gimme that crowd is political catnip. Even red states have found that combination hard to resist. The expansion will be a lot less popular if the ratio drops to the normal Medicaid match.

The normal match for Medicaid will cause state budgets to implode due to the expansion if Uncle Sugar does not continue the "temporary" additional funds for a 100 match.

It's that last segment that weighs everything down.

The federal government, with the budget as it is, is less likely to pass up on handing partial responsibility of a massive money hole to the states as soon as it can. The states will be on the hook for it, and it will destroy state budgets when the bill comes due.

Being able to see three feet in front of my face, I'd screech about how awful it is as a governor, which some have.

Which of course is why Stalin backed the Republicans, and the Red propaganda machine cast the conflict as democracy versus fascism, whereas as Wiki points out it was more accurately characterized as leftist revolution and rightist counter-revolution.

For this reason, no one would help Franco until Mussolini and then Hitler did so. Franco got everything he wanted from them, but gave them basically nothing. He caviled on getting too close to them, and kept Spain neutral during WWII.

Pretty fancy footwork, methinks.

Completely agree. One thing Mayor/governor Hickenlooper in CO has done is get more federal agencies to set up in the state. IIRC, CO may have the most federal employees outside of the DC area. And...look how blue the state is.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is
the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

Trust me, Z. I'll defer to your empiric evaluation anytime.

But so far, to me, Auntie Fascist seems to be a wannabe street gang. The brownshirts were pulled from--if not the Crips of their age--at least the Hell's Angels. People who *had* kicked asses with no regrets.

And I'm not saying that someday, the Auntie Fascists can't have their own Putsch leader--but there's a huge marketplace for labeling people and everything pre-Nazi Germany. I've done enough study on pre-Nazi Germany (from the Hohenzollern expansion) to have a good sense of just what forces played a role.

The only deprivation driving the Auntie Fascist left right now is the deprivation of power seen through the lens of toddlers. Not a nation bankrupting itself as the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which bullied Germany into a position of taking full responsibility for starting the war, and punished them according to that standard, and people barely able to purchase food.

So the five stages of grief. The left has no plans to enter Depression or Acceptance. They will practice anger until they are able to bargain for everything they didn't win in the election.

See idiotic calls for Trump to nominate Merrick Garland. You thought I was joking didn't you. Not.

There is only one acceptable outcome for the left and they will try to arrive there one way or another regardless of election results.

Its "your problem" if you want civility. "Give in" and you might have some civility for a while. Until they redefine what it means to "give in".

Its it possible for the left to get to depression and then acceptance. No. I don't think it is. There are too many things in the media/culture that keep tripping the circuit.

458 TheJamesMadison: "That cession of power will, hopefully, end up cracking the Democratic Party in two."

I think we're there now. There's the Clinton wing and then there's the Bernie Sanders wing. The outsider activists with the most agitation skills were/are the Socialists/Communists from Team Bernie and they were shown the door by the electoral apparatus of the Left. Tangibly, I mean, but not ideologically. But the ideological persists and so much so that the Left is more Socialist now than in recent memory. Even Bernie is too conservative for the movement.

So with that backdrop, the Democrat Party is having to try to coopt that which is unmarketable in national elections which, of course, furthers chaos in the Left's grasp for power. The Democrats have a split house with lessening popular appeal. Tantrums and actual brownshirting are their main tools and those simply won't work right now. Not really though the MFM is trying it's darndest to assist them.

How far the split and for how long? Who knows. But it has become more Socialist and such radicalization only means no one is Left enough. It'll shatter them for years as long as the GOPe doesn't come to their aid by moving Left, too, when it's totally counterproductive. (Of course, that could be the point, but it's a rant for another day.)

=============

I think that there are actually three main camps.

1) Hillary Loyalists - probably not that large in terms of the voting public, but there are a lot in the DNC and Congress who would fit this bill
2) Establishment Democrats who've moved beyond Hillary - probably most of the caucus
3) Bernie-bros - the fringe (but growing)

Where does someone like Elizabeth Warren fit? I'd say she's firmly in the Establishment camp with overt appeals to 3, but it could be somewhat reversed.

That is to say that the borders between the 3 groups are a bit fluid.

However, in terms of a breakup, I imagine that 1 and 2 make up, but 3 breaks off.

That's my outsider read.

There couldn't be a better arrow in our quiver than the left's increasing detachment from reality.

They keep hyperventilating about "our democracy" while promoting the idea of the SCOTUS as the unelected super-legislature that makes all wise decisions. They don't know what fucking words even mean!

They just use that snake-oil of self-flattery to assuage themselves that however they use words is the right way. And obviously, if we mean by "democracy" something they don't mean, it's gotta' be us that is wrong--after all they heard somebody on Fox News say the same thing!

There will be armed guards at the door.

Here are the rules:

Order your food, enjoy it, pay for it, and leave. It's that simple.

But:

You come in my restaurant and harass my customers, you get kicked the eff out by the large fellows at the door with scary looking rifles with the things that go up. Regardless of ideology.

You work in my kitchen and spit in my cusomers' food, you get summarily fired, on the spot. I don't care if I have to shut the place down for the night or come in and start expediting my own goddamn self.

You wanna march around and chant and protest outside? Knock yourselves out. I don't own the sidewalk, and No Publicity Is Bad Publicity. I'll even let your dumb asses come in and order take out for dinner if you want. A buck's a buck. But the aforementioned rules still apply.

But, they are now OUT of power... so what good reason does the Gay Lobby now have to support the BLM movement? or the Feminazis to support the Antifa?

They were a Coalition government, that was only together to hold power.

590 First, I think these Alinsky-attacks are orchestrated by Democrat leadership trying to gin up a street level enthusiasm among the base. Obama called for Democrats to "get in the face" of friends, relatives and neighbors who disagree with his policies, but that isn't happening. What is happening is professional theatrical sorts of orchestrated attacks on prominent Republican or administration figures. I don't see any enthusiasm for direct confrontation among the broader base of Democrats.
Second, civil war takes time to develop and is preceeded by years of violent confrontations. Look at the slo-motion collapse of the Serb and Croation relationship, where a great number died in local violence before the war became widespread.
Third, anyone educated in the history of this country of any other country ripped apart at any time by violent civil war will never wish for such a thing. Those people will rule the day. Those among our citizenry who wish for this sort of thing are quite literally crazy, in my opinion. In the rhetorical battle the rational will win with the broader group.
Posted by: Huck Follywood, coffee drinker at July 09, 2018 03:39 PM (ULoJS)

-------------

Let me see if I can break this down and answer coherently. (yeah, yeah, whatever, quit snickering over there)

First point: I agree these tactics are being orchestrated by outside forces, such as CPUSA or some Soros affiliate. However, I believe these people don't understand that once the violence genie is out of the bottle, it is almost impossible to put back in.

Second point: As of right now, we have Scalise and company shot up with Scalise almost dying. We have confrontations happening everywhere, some of which are violent. (see Zombie's take on this) I didn't say we're going to jump into a civil war. I believe were edging ever closer. So, I'm not sure this second point really applies to what I said.

Third point: I'm not wishing, nor do I think I'm saying I want a civil war to happen. Rather, I think it's becoming almost inevitable. It's one thing to advocate for a civil war, which I'm not. It's another to recognize the symptoms seem to be there and to comment on what I think may be happening.

I truly believe one should take a long hard look at what's going on and at least be prepared, psychologically, if not physically, for worst case.

If it civil war doesn't happen, breathe a sigh of relief. If it does, well, you've already thought about the implications and accepted the possibility, which puts you ahead of the general population.

594 So the five stages of grief. The left has no plans to enter Depression or Acceptance. They will practice anger until they are able to bargain for everything they didn't win in the election.

No one ever plans to enter Depression or Acceptance. Depression is what happens after Anger burns itself out, which it always does. Anger is Fun! It's Active! That's why so many people use it to make themselves feel better. It's the Methamphetamine of emotions. But just like Meth, the come down is hard, hard, hard.

and depression - well there's no sure path to acceptance, depression takes a lot of work to get out of, and whole lot of people who fall into that rut stay there til the day they die. The only good reason to find a way out of it is because that's no way to live.

that sounds right, and when Mitch first held the seat open, it was before he knew Trump would be the candidate, as I recall. By the time Trump was the pick, it was way too late and that open seat decision was done.

But if Mitch had wanted to help Trump more, he could have left the Senate in recess for Trump, for those recess appointments. Isn't Trump still waiting on many?

Now that I have my "Not a Republican" bumper sticker, I'll make it through the night.

Thanks, Democrats!

It was the early 1990s. She was a DJ in her late 20s with the midnight shift on a local alt rock station when the whole grunge thing hit and became commercialized. About that time the station decided it could save money by giving members of local grunge bands prime time slots for likely beer money.

She was hip...but not THAT hip. The kiss of death happened a bit before we broke up when one of these youngsters followed up one of her canned concert reports with: "She's a nice lady..."

730 Martyring anyone on the other side just gets the squishy normals into that other side. They shouldn't want this to escalate. If someone in the administration ends up getting hurt, the normals will not reward that behavior at all.

Perhaps, if they find out about it. Which they won't, or the reporting will be that the individual injured is 'right wing', or 'very conservative', etc., which is to say, they deserved it.

Consider Judge John Roll, Steve Scalise, Ron Paul.

The MSM simply don't mention it, and certainly do not voice outrage.

Whether one agrees or disagrees with the concept, there is nothing "farcical" about it.

The Founders, for example, wanted to exclude DC from the federal franchise on the grounds that anyone whose sustenance wholly or mostly derives from the federal purse would not act as tax-PAYERS but as tax-recipients.

There was a movement in early VA to forbid state employees from voting in state (but NOT federal) elections for the same reason.

Should welfare recipients vote on how much loot they get from the tax-payers? Should wolves vote against the lamb on what's for dinner?

The question is purely academic at this point, of course.

considering the D.A. in D.C. just threw out the charges against those conspiring to commit violence at Trump's Inauguration, I fail to see how the organs of the law can help, or will help.

735 There's really only one way this can end. Big city mayors are not going to allow the police and prosecutors to stop this kind of harassment through legal means, which leaves the targets with no nonviolent options and emboldens the harassers.

Work or home? I'd guess the former, which is less useful.

So far as his kids are concerned, just look for the closest school with very few brown kids. That's how they do it.

At which point you WILL be arrested and thrown in jail by police. The police WILL happily look the other way if, say, it's a conservative being harassed/doxxed.

When you HAVE to change your name just because you ONLY want power, power, and more power, you shouldn't be anywhere NEAR the levers of power, anywhere.

It's Robert Francis, or as Robert Pratt of "Pratt On Texas" likes to say, "Beto Poncho".

742 The closest parallel is the Pogroms of old Eastern Europe and Russia.
The Tsar would put out antisemitic agitprop, local peasants would attack the Jews and the government would stand by.
Nice way to relieve discontent and unify your base.
The Dems have regressed straight back through commie Russia and into Tsarist Russia.

744 in the 2m+ western US Metroplex i live in, taking a vocally supportive red state stance or wearing maga gear of ANY kind at a restaurant in the downtown area for sure and a chunk of the suburbs around the state U, and your food WILL be fouled in some grotesque, unsanitary and illegal way by the kitchen staff.

The opposite is of course true, as I have too often seen and heard, that customers are free to engage a sympathetic wait staff in all manner of hilarious and woke assassination chic against Trump and his people.

745 People need to load up Trump speeches on their phones for these occasions and play them at top volume when this baloney starts up. Then when the lefty thugs are driven insanely to try to damage or take your property you can have them arrested for assault.......or you could just punch back twice as hard.

Posted by: Old Guy at July 09, 2018 08:21 PM (HOCYS)

746 Interesting point to note regarding the interaction of this sort of harassment and claims of "free speech": The 1A protection only holds so long as the victim can escape the harassment without undue difficulty. Things like offensive signs have been held to be protected since people can simply look away and gatherings since people can just not go there (with caveats depending on location).

Following someone around while screaming abuse would seem to cross this particular line, and attempting to "deny peace in the public sphere" (as many Lefties are calling for) could also be cause to deny 1A protection.
