Fox News has the video. We are being interviewed by Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday. I’m not gonna make any comments on here about the case but just want to say to those who question my parenting... You don’t know us, you weren’t there and I don’t live in a terrorist state. How bout you?? I didn’t think so. People strap their kids into moving vehicles that could possible be involved in a deadly accident every day. Does that make them bad parents? No? Well my kids are more likely to get into a vehicle accident than punched by a hippie.

Food for thought....

Thanks for the heads up! I don't watch O'Reilly, but I will try to suck it up to see your segment. When you have an idea about which segment you will appear, please let us know here.

Now I remember that I was told the video would be posted AFTER it was shown on TV.

FRmail to you.

Remember:

Fascsism is rooted in liberal socialism. That was true in Germany in 1938, and it is true today.

The liberal democrat left is startig to turn into its fascist version in order to project social power they cannot accomplish through the polls.

That is how the fascists came to power in Germany.

And soon the Dem fascists will try the same here, to take over government , when they cannot win an election. Its already started, they have de-legitimized a sitting president for 8 years.

On the street, liberal left wing democrat ideology justifies or excuses physically attacking their political opponents.

*************************

These are the liberal fascists that we now realize are totalitarians, bent on action, "Change and Hope" and hove no hesitation in rammingtheir values down the throats of an undesrving nation.

Libreral fascists you say? Yes!

And here is the thinking on it from Danial Pipes:

********************************

Liberal fascism sounds like an oxymoron – or a term for conservatives to insult liberals. Actually, it was coined by a socialist writer, none other than the respected and influential left-winger H.G. Wells, who in 1931 called on fellow progressives to become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis." Really.

His words, indeed, fit a much larger pattern of fusing socialism with fascism: Mussolini was a leading socialist figure who, during World War I, turned away from internationalism in favor of Italian nationalism and called the blend Fascism. Likewise, Hitler headed the National Socialist German Workers Party.

These facts jar because they contradict the political spectrum that has shaped our worldview since the late 1930s, which places communism at the far left, followed by socialism, liberalism in the center, conservatism, and then fascism on the far right. But this spectrum, Jonah Goldberg points out in his brilliant, profound, and original new book, Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning (Doubleday), reflects Stalin's use of fascist as an epithet to discredit anyone he wished – Trotsky, Churchill, Russian peasants – and distorts reality. Already in 1946, George Orwell noted that fascism had degenerated to signify "something not desirable."

To understand fascism in its full expression requires putting aside Stalin's misrepresentation of the term and also look beyond the Holocaust, and instead return to the period Goldberg terms the "fascist moment," roughly 1910-35. A statist ideology, fascism uses politics as the tool to transform society from atomized individuals into an organic whole. It does so by exalting the state over the individual, expert knowledge over democracy, enforced consensus over debate, and socialism over capitalism. It is totalitarian in Mussolini's original meaning of the term, of "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." Fascism's message boils down to "Enough talk, more action!" Its lasting appeal is getting things done.

In contrast, conservatism calls for limited government, individualism, democratic debate, and capitalism. Its appeal is liberty and leaving citizens alone.

Goldberg's triumph is establishing the kinship between communism, fascism, and liberalism. All derive from the same tradition that goes back to the Jacobins of the French Revolution. His revised political spectrum would focus on the role of the state and go from libertarianism to conservatism to fascism in its many guises – American, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Cuban, and so on.

As this listing suggests, fascism is flexible; different iterations differ in specifics but they share "emotional or instinctual impulses." Mussolini tweaked the socialist agenda to emphasize the state; Lenin made workers the vanguard party; Hitler added race. If the German version was militaristic, the American one (which Goldberg calls liberal fascism) is nearly pacifist. Goldberg quotes historian Richard Pipes on this point: "Bolshevism and Fascism were heresies of socialism." He proves this confluence in two ways.

Woodrow Wilson's Progressivism featured a "militaristic, fanatically nationalist, imperialist, racist" program, enabled by the exigencies of World War I.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fascist New Deal" built on and extended Wilson's government.

Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society established the modern welfare state, "the ultimate fruition" (so far) of this statist tradition.

The youthful New Left revolutionaries of the 1960s brought about "an Americanized updating" of the European Old Right.

Hillary Clinton hopes "to insert the state deep into family life," an essential step of the totalitarian project.

To sum up a near-century of history, if the American political system traditionally encouraged the pursuit of happiness, "more and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered."

Second, Goldberg dissects American liberal programs – racial, economic, environmental, even the "cult of the organic" – and shows their affinities to those of Mussolini and Hitler.

If this summary sounds mind-numbingly implausible, read Liberal Fascism in full for its colorful quotes and convincing documentation. The author, hitherto known as a smart, sharp-elbowed polemicist, has proven himself a major political thinker.

Beyond offering a radically different way to understand modern politics, in which fascist is no more a slander than socialist, Goldberg's extraordinary book provides conservatives with the tools to reply to their liberal tormentors and eventually go on the offensive. If liberals can eternally raise the specter of Joseph McCarthy, conservatives can counter with that of Benito Mussolini.

Great post - Thank you! I waited until I could give it my undivided attention.

Its already started, they have de-legitimized a sitting president for 8 years.

As I began reading, this was the first thing that came to mind. I was relieved when you got to it. Not only have they de-legitimized him, they have convinced many in his own party of their lies and innuendos.

On the street, liberal left wing democrat ideology justifies or excuses physically attacking their political opponents.

Very true. I've been the recipient of some of their rabid physical "ideology" while countering them.

My book reading has fallen by the wayside with the discovery of FR. Goldberg's book is on my must read list and I hope to get to it soon.

and eventually go on the offensive.

The "eventually" has arrived and if the offensive is not undertaken quickly, like NOW, I fear it will be far too late.

What an abomination. The left thinks that free speech is just for them and only conservatives practice hate speech.

A bigger bunch of hypocrites never lived.... even the Pharisees.

You can bet that if Shrillary gets elected, the Clinton Politics of Hatred will continue unabated and will get much worse- she will be out for revenge against everyone who is opposing her during her campaign...Her peacenik thugs will run amuck until they are stopped cold...You can see that day coming..This is the Politics of Hatred becoming more and more bizarre...

Obama’s goose is being cooked and McCain is already looking like the Ghost of Christmas Past...That leaves one survivor of this disastrous campaign ‘08..

Fox is my channel; but sometimes the Fair and Balanced is over the top or seems so. Fox News when speaking of this; included in their 'fair and balanced' no doubt; the 'offering' that this family sought out demonstrations and engaged in 'hippie-baiting'; was furious they would add what could only come from 'the other side' throwing this out. If we have to wait for the truth; then keep mouth shut and wait!

Fortunately, it is on video; and of course, both sides have lawyers; but more than pathetic, what the Left - by their propagated hate, has done to our culture. And yes, of course, it would be the 'peace-nits' that throw the punch; spit etc. . .

'Can't we all get along?' No way. . .thanks to these people.

The commies mantra is, and has always been; Free speech for me, but not for thee! From the nonsense that has been permitted in the soiled halls of CONgre$$, to the criminal behavior on the streets that goes on unabated, they are definitely leading the pack in the destruction of our culture.

Fox is my channel; but sometimes the Fair and Balanced is over the top or seems so.

It IS over the top and is NOT "fair and balanced" IMO.
What is "fair" about allowing one side to screech hateful commie propaganda with nothing to support their screeching while the commentator/news reader makes innuendos slandering the other side and their claims?

I don't want "fair and balanced" - I want the TRUTH and nothing but the truth. I turned FOX off a couple years ago. They are worse than CNN in some respects.

Thanks.

Guy at the end says to the woman in white, who acted like an animal kicking people, “What was that about peace?”

If possible please keep me updated about prosecutions.
How could they arrest no one?

This is from the GOE site in which I am also a member of, and it will give you more incite to what is going on as of this past weekend. Dan Maloney has been good about keeping everyone updated with the TRUTH, not just rumors.

May 1, 2008

Updated May 3, 2008 - Anger Management Classes for Moonbats and an admission they were wrong!

In the continuing debacle in Erie County and Edinboro, Pennsylvania, another key piece of evidence has surfaced. Portion of the video from the ‘peace’ thugs point of view and it lends full support to my analysis of the events.

The video is here.

You can compare it to the original video here.

The new video is shot from a different perspective and reveals actions that were blocked in the original video.

You may have to pause and rewind portions of this video to see the actions I will describe.

Most importantly, for those who have claimed the veteran’s wife took the first physical action. Your claims are proved to be unfounded. The video clearly shows the woman in green advancing from screen right left and touching the veteran’s wife before the wife pushes her away.

It shows that every physical action was initiated by the ‘peace’ thugs Every action that escalated the conflict was theirs. They were out of control and unrestrained in their actions. Every action taken by the veteran and his family was in self defense or in seeking to stop the violence. No one sober can view these videos in any other fashion.

The wheelchair man bumping his chair into the leg of the veteran.
The lady in white grabbing the veteran’s sign and throwing it into the street.
The lady in white then standing on the sign in an attempt to prevent the veteran from recovering it.
The veteran’s wife interjecting herself between the veteran and the lady in white to defuse the situation.
The lady in green charging over with her red sign and pushing the veteran’s wife with her right hand.
The veteran’s wife pushing the lady in green away from her.
The lady in green and the lady in white attacking the veteran’s wife.
The veteran grabbing the lady in green to restrain her from attacking his wife.
The man in yellow and man in blue shirts pushing the veteran to the ground while he is restraining the lady in green. (Partially obscured by signs).
The lady in white kicking the veteran’s wife in the head.
The veteran’s son rushing over to pull the lady in white away from his mother.
The lady in white kicks the veteran twive while he is restrained.
The lady in green attacking the veteran’s son.
The lady in white attacking the veteran’s son.
This video should be required viewing by anyone wanting to know what happens when ‘peace’ thugs are given free rein to vent their ‘peaceful’ feelings.

Dan Maloney, NY State Coordinator, Gathering of Eagles

Update May 3, 2008

In an admission that the ‘peace’ thugs were out of control, the Erie Peace Initiative has proposed the equivalent of ‘Anger Management’ therapy for the group that attacked the Veteran and his family.

EDINBORO — A peace group that meets in Edinboro will receive training in nonviolent conflict resolution — a result of two members being charged for their parts in an April 22 brawl.

Trainers from the Erie Peace Initiative will meet with the Tuesdays at Two group, which includes a number of students from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. The session has not yet been scheduled.

In my view this should be the first in a twelve step program to bring loony moonbats back to a rational perspective on the law, history, the history of the United States, the threat and history of Islamofascism, and the attempts of the foreign influenced communist party splinter groups in the United States to undermine our morale and our government. But that’s just me…

The Erie Peace Initiative also left the sisters (green and white) hanging out there in a tacit admission of their culpability.

Some in the peace movement blame the sisters’ inexperience.

“They were wrong,” said Richard McVay, a Penn Action activist who met with the sisters after the fight. “They were wrong to react violently to a violent provocation. But I can see how it could happen.”

Thank you, Richard, for finally speaking the basic truth “They were wrong”. Of course you try and couch it by accusing the Veteran and his family of a “violent provocation”, but anyone viewing the two videos can see right through that rhetorical device.

All in all this was an important first step. Fixing the problem begins with realizing you have a problem and the first step was taken today.

Read the whole thing:

Peace activists to be trained in conflict resolution
