Alexandria GOP Shooting Turning Into an All Out Attack on Populism and Real Progressives

by Scott Creighton

Over at Prison Planet, Hasbara disinfo assets like PJW are screeching about how they’ve always been right to conflate “islamofascist” terrorism with “da ebil leftists” while on Fox News commenters sit around on sofas saying “capitalist free market supporters have NEVER resorted to violence to get what they want while radical SOCIALISTS ALWAYS do”

Meanwhile the corporate media of the left which backs the corporate Dems are calling for “unity” and stamping out the “extremist views” of people like James T. Hodgkinson, the man accused of attacking GOP members at a baseball practice field in the Del Ray area of Arlington yesterday morning.

Here is an example of some of his “extremist” views:

He was anti-Hillary Clinton, according to his Facebook posts.

“Bernie is a Progressive, while Hillary is Republican Lite,” he wrote.

In another post he wrote, “#ScreamAsOne #NeverVotingHill,” and “You’ve been warned DNC. I will NEVER vote Hillary. A nomination for Hillary equals a win for Trump. #NOTWithHer.”

He wrote, “Bernie is the Only Candidate in Decades that Really Cares about the Working Class. … Bernie is a Candidate of a Lifetime. We Need Bernie in the White House. Bernie is the Only Candidate Talking about the Issues.” Heavy

When you look at it a certain way, it makes sense the corporate Dems would want “unity” with a party that hates progressive and populist ideology, real populist ideology. Hell, the corporate Dems just prevented Trump and his band of merry neoliberals from being impeached by Brad Sherman.  Every day they show themselves more and more as being part and parcel of the Republican “free market” Party.

Kinda like Hodgkinson said, right?

Here is another example of his “extremism”. It’s Hodgkinson at an Occupy rally back in 2012 talking about standing up for the 99%

And just in case you thought the threat died with him, this morning there is a new report about a Republican congress critter receiving a threatening email from an anonymous source (of course). Pay attention to the rhetoric.

“The office of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) received a threatening email with the subject line “One down, 216 to go…,” shortly after a shooter opened fire on GOP lawmakers who were at a congressional baseball practice, according to her office.

The person who sent the email then wrote in the body of the email, “Did you NOT expect this?”

“Did you NOT expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit. Certainly, your souls and morality were lost long before. Good riddance,” the email said.” The Hill

The corporate unDemocratic Party is in free fall. They are desperate to do anything they can to stop the bleeding. So to is congress… and the media.
