After Charlottesville, Will Free Speech & Nationalism Be Criminalized by Congress?

The TRUTH HOUND / Stop the Presses News & Commentary

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.)—well-known for decrying the Obama administration’s efforts to use the tax code to financially discriminate against conservative non-profit groups, partly as a “free speech” issue—seems to have careened into the ideological abyss.

Indeed, his outlook now mirrors that of Congressmen like Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other ultra-liberals who evidently believe that post-Charlottesville “free speech” suddenly belongs only to the left, but that street violence is the sole domain of the right—heavy evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

On the basis of this unconstitutional and inaccurate outlook, Issa’s office, for one thing, has called for a Sept. 12 House Judiciary Committee hearing, at the full committee level, “to examine the attacks in Charlottesville, recent displays of white nationalism, and their impact on civil rights in America.”

In calling for such action (a development that mainstream media have nearly buried, due to its incessant attacks on President Trump), Issa wrote a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.).

In it, however, he added some things that exceed the “civil rights” aspect of the Aug. 12 tumult in Charlottesville, where a legally arranged Unite the Right rally, partly to protest the removal of Confederate statuary, was overturned by mostly violent leftist-Marxist agitators—some of them reportedly paid up to $25 per hour through elitist back-channels—who physically shut down Unite the Right’s free speech while lobbing soda-pop cans filled with cement, containers of urine, feces, etc.

Many of them also sported baseball bats and 2-by-4 boards spiked with nails. My how things have changed since the early 1970s, when anti-Vietnam War left-wing protestors would place flowers in the gun barrels of National Guardsman at places like Kent State in Ohio.

And although President Trump, as impartially as possible, did his best to clarify that both sides shared some blame for the Virginia violence, and that the clearly dangerous actions of the leftist Antifa and Blacks Lives Matter groups should not be ignored, Issa’s letter will have none of that.

Instead, in order to call for ramping up the rhetoric to define unacceptable speech and opinions as “domestic terrorism” and criminalize any views the powers-that-be deem heretical, Issa’s letter to Goodlatte mentions that the House Homeland Security Committee will also hold a meeting, on the same day, Sept. 12, with an eye toward defining the actions and beliefs of those on the right, but not the actions and beliefs of the leftists, as “domestic terrorism.”

The key parts of Issa’s letter are as follows:

As you and our colleagues are well aware . . . a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was attended by hundreds of self-identified members of the KKK, white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other repulsive hate groups. The despicable display of bigotry and evil resulted in an unconscionable attack that resulted in the death of Heather Heyer and the wounding of 20 others [most sources say 19 wounded—Ed.] assembled in counter protest. As the nation grieves and heals . . . we have a duty to more fully understand what led to these terrible events and the persistence of these hateful, extremist ideologies [emphasis added].
