They say they’re fighting hate, racism, bigotry and, well, fascism, but in reality the group that calls itself Antifa is the sworn, violent enemy of free speech, free association, the right to peaceably assemble, President Trump, and anyone who identifies as even remotely conservative.


The emphasis, of course, being on the ‘violent’ part, because beatings, brick & urine tossing, and property destruction were the modus operandi of these masked thugs way before they earned ‘hero’ status from everyone from Terry McAuliffe to Marco Rubio for their substantial part in the Charlottesville mayhem.


Which left many wondering why renowned ‘anti-hate’ watchdog the Southern Poverty Law Center hasn’t put Antifa at least somewhere on their watch list, what with all the ‘hate’ being brutally administered across the foreheads of Trump-supporters of every race. Hell, we’d settle for a footnote at this point.


But apparently, Antifa ‘hate’ isn’t the type of hate the SPLC is interested in.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Well, I am stunned that the Socialist Peckerwood Legitimizing Committee would ever find that the violent minions of AntiFa would be even an eentsy weentsy bit hate filled.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

But why aren’t they a hate group? Well, according to Cohen, their adherents don’t discriminate based on any protected classes like race or sexual orientation.

“There might be forms of hate out there that you may consider hateful, but it’s not the type of hate we follow,” said the SPLC president, adding, “we follow them, but we don’t track them in the same way.”

Typical old leftist shifty shuffle. As long as you subscribe to our beliefs, then you can't be a hater! Those that are righteous true believers are not held to the same standard.
The Republic is lost.

They have no problem labeling and attacking some hometown Church in Nowhereville Kentucky full of 50 something families because they believe in traditional marriage. That is the SPLC definition of a "hate group".


Antifa is masked, carries baseball bats, and attacks innocent people they think may disagree with them, and they are not a 'hate group'.


The hypocrisy could not be more clear. SPLC hates patriotic, America loving, traditional people. Those are the 'haters' because they refuse to go along with the corporate program. They are guilty of 'wrong-thinking'.

Well... I guess I do see their point, they "specialize" in groups that hate vased on race or ethnicity. SPLC does list a lot of black organizations in MA as hate groups.

It's just horrible optics for them.
