Hanson, predictably, compares last weeks pro-Palestinian, anti-globalisation DC rally to the rise of the brownshirts in Weimar Germany. He has one solid point--the speakers did not seem to have any political purpose in common beyond hatred of America and Israel. Does this movement even have a name? But this time the racists, fascists, and faux-victims are from the purported Left and not the Right. If the Democratic party will not denounce these totalitarians and their extremist supporters like Al Sharpton — as the Republicans once ostracized the militias and white supremacists — then all ordinary Americans must step up to employ clear and honest language in opposing their frightening agenda. They are not progressives, not even socialists, communists, or anarchists. Rather, their language is pure hatred — as well as anti-Semitic and fascistic. The governments they support overseas are murderous and dictatorial; their currency is race — oppressed "people of color" are good, other "oppressors," especially Jews, less so — and their message is violent and wishes an end to the present democratically elected government in the United States. nationalreview.com
