I
rest my case until someone can prove that there has been a campaign
of intimidation and violence from the other side.
It
is not about politics – it is about acting in a civil way.

Republicans
only respect strength and Democrats can only afford civility if they
win in the upcoming midterms, Hillary Clinton has argued against the
backdrop of increasingly violent US politics.
“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” the former presidential candidate told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an interview that aired Tuesday. “That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then the only thing the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”
Her
comments come amid calls for a return to civility following an ugly
political battle over President Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett
Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court. Democrats sought to stop Kavanaugh
by any and all means, from procedural delays and accusations of
sexual impropriety in high school and college to mass protests,
activists accosting Republican senators in elevators and airports,
and death threats.
They failed. Kavanaugh was sworn in on Monday as the ninth Justice of the Supreme Court.
Clinton described the Republicans as an “ideological party that is driven by the lust for power,” and said only winning elections, not civility, can stop “what they intend to do” with America.
While some Republican lawmakers have condemned Clinton’s remarks and asked her party to denounce them, others have embraced them as a talking point to mobilize their base.

"Street Anarchy" As Antifa Attacks Portland Drivers That
Don't Obey
8
October, 2018
Well-known
conservative columnist and author Rod Dreher reacts
to shocking video which
emerged on Monday showing masked
Antifa members taking over an entire busy intersection and claiming
the authority to direct traffic in an American city.
Notice that these thugs include white people using racist anti-white language to order drivers to do as they say.
Is this America? Is this routine in Portland? Why are the Portland police not arresting these people? This video captures the faces of some of them. Arrest them. Jail them.
And
yet the Portland resident and journalist, Andy
Ngo,
who first posted the now viral video says "This
is the type of street anarchy that routinely happens where I live."
What's
worse is that after a dozen or more of the anarchists usurped
police authority and actually threatened drivers who didn't obey
their dictates as they hesitantly pulled through the
intersection, the
real police have confirmed that theywatched
and did nothing.
This is the type of street anarchy that routinely happens where I live. Here is video from 6 Oct showing Antifa directing traffic in downtown & threatening people who don’t obey with violence. Mayor @tedwheeler, who really runs this town?
The
footage further shows multiple instances of cars being hit with rods
and fists for refusing to obey their commands. "I'll
beat the shit out of you!" men
standing in the middle of the road shout at passing cars.
"We
don't need your KKK in Portland, Oregon!" -
another shouted at a man for merely having North Carolina
plates. Drivers are prevented from going left while Antifa members
shout down justifiably angered drivers who are being forced
to turn right.
One driver pauses in the
intersection and appears to call the police on his cell phone, which
further enrages the mob. The radical far-left group claimed
to be protesting a recent police shooting in the city.
Starting
at the 1:20 mark of the original video a
police patrol unit can clearly be seen stationed at the end of the
block, with a uniformed officer simply standing by to watch the
mayhem and harassment of drivers unfold.
Indeed,
one elderly man was nearly beaten by the mob as a separate
video at what appears to be another intersection shows the
mob chasing down the man for refusing to stop as he was
presumably in fear for his life.
And here is video of an elderly man who didn’t heed their street orders — so they chased him down. #Portland
The
elderly citizen stops his car after making it through the
initially blocked intersection, and after the group had pounded on
his vehicle, after which a baton-wielding man threatens him.
Immediately
after the senior citizen shuts his door the crowd starts wailing on
his vehicle, with the baton holder smashing into the door. Clearly it
appears the
driver was only moments away from being savagely beaten.
WATCH: A driver plowed through protesters in downtown Portland this afternoon. Police say they have not heard from either the driver or victim yet. katu.com/news/local/dri…
Yet
the mob can be clearly seen threatening passing cars with weapons
while issuing threats.
On
Monday night a local CBS News affiliate confirmed the elderly man
filed a police report, citing over $3,000 in damages to his car.
The man said the group had blocked him in and later
began beating on his car:
The driver, who spoke with KOIN 6 News but did not want to go on-camera, said he got out of his car earlier and asked protesters to move. But, he said, they grabbed him. He got back into the car, which is when they began beating on his car and smashed his driver's side window.
But
more revealing is the Portland Police statement, also issued Monday
night, which confirms police refused to intervene in order to protect
what the department is describing as the free speech of the Antifa
members.
CBS
KOIN 6 News reports the
statement as follows:
PPB Sgt. Chris Burley said officers were monitoring the protest. Asked why police didn't step in when protesters went into the streets and affected traffic, Burley said the bureau "weighs the ability for people to gather to practice their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly, as well as the impact it places on the rest of the Portland community. Throughout this event the police bureau was monitoring the crowd."
Is
this what the police are now willing to protect and even
facilitate in an American city?
Indeed, an
elderly local resident's car was attacked and the senior citizen
himself nearly beaten to death by a baton and stick-wielding
masked mob as police merely "monitored" the situation.
