Alexander: The Hater Chronicles

Unless you’ve been marooned on a Pacific island for the last 10 days, you’ve likely been deluged with mainstream media hysterics about the domestic political hatefest between anarcho-fascists and anarcho-socialists in the otherwise idyllic town of Charlottesville, Virginia.

In the wake of that event, I noted, in the same 24-hour period as the Charlottesville riot, there were nine people killed on the streets of Chicago – just an average Saturday night. (Indeed, this past weekend there were even more assaults, but since those black lives don’t matter as political fodder for the Demo/Leftmedia propaganda machine, it’s unlikely you heard about that.)

Of course, Democrats and their Leftmedia outlets portrayed the “counter-protestors” as all-American youngsters doing their civic duty to oppose hate. But these anarchists are the epitome of haters – and they are in much larger numbers than the fringe racist elements.

Despite the Leftist howls about Donald Trump’s condemnation of both the hate factions, one of the nation’s most noted liberal protagonists, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, says that the Left should not embrace those trying to “tear down America.”

Dershowitz implores his fellow Democrats:

“Do not glorify the violent people who are now tearing down the statues. Many of these people, not all of them, many of these people are trying to tear down America. Antifa is a radical, anti-America, anti-free market, communist, socialist, hard-left sensorial organization… They use violence. Just because they are opposed to fascism and to some of these monuments, should not make them heroes of the liberals. … Doing what Stalin did, just erasing history and rewriting it to serve current purposes does pose a danger. And it poses a danger of education malpractice. I’m a liberal, and I think it’s the obligation of liberals to speak out against the hard-left radicals, just like it’s the obligation of conservatives to speak out against the extremism of the hard right.”
