IS IT “FA” OR IS IT ANTIFA?
Powerline ^ | August 14,2018 | Paul Mirengoff

Petula Drorak is a left-liberal writer for the Washington Post. On Sunday, she attended the “Unite the Right” rallies in Washington, D.C., at which, she says, the water and popsicle vendors seemed to outnumber the Unite the Right marchers. Dvorak describes a telling scene:

“There they are! Nazis!” someone shouted, as a knot of about two dozen helmeted, masked, jackbooted marchers clomped through the back of the crowd down H Street NW. A sneak attack!

“Go home, Nazis!” some counterprotesters shouted, as the crowd began to turn and surge toward the militant-looking group.

“Wait! No!” someone yelled, one hand up.

“They’re on our siiiiiiiiiiiiide!” another love and unity demonstrator shouted.

“Stop!”

Antifa lived up to its image and its look:

[A]fter the sad little band of Unite the Right demonstrators retreated, the nouveau antifa was still looking for a fight.

They knocked a cellphone out of a Washington Post reporter’s hands.

They told me to go, um, “love” myself.

Masked — in black instead of KKK white — they pinballed around the empty streets of downtown D.C., randomly chanting and searching for a brawl .

“Bust some windows!” (Why?)

“Nazis, go home!” (They did.)

“No border! No wall! No USA at all!” (Huh?)

Eventually, the Antifa goons clashed with the police, hitting them with water bottles and glitterbombs and forcing them to duck flying eggs and fireworks. By all accounts, there was no activity of the kinds described above on the part of the Unite the Right marchers.

Dvorak’s main objection to the conduct of the Antifa thugs seems to be that it hurts, rather than helps, the resistance to Trump. To her, the evil nature of Antifa is, at best, a secondary concern.

Communist street goons. Antifa is a collection of drug addicts, trannies, queers, and other assorted refuse, with a small handful of seriously misguided college students who listened too closely to their ex-hippie elders.

KLANtifa is good..

How about just ANTs. They are very persistent and annoying, just like Antifa.

Dvorak should have just been going home.

But she thinks it’s a New World.

Antifa are Fascists calling themselves Anti Fascists.

Curious how they claim to be against Nazis while they are funded by a real Nazi Collaborator from WW2, still alive and active today: George Soros.

Some call them auntie-FAH, a shortened version of anti-fascist, but I've heard most in the organization call themselves an-TEEF-ah.

Of the two pronunciations, I prefer A$$_#OLES.

Sorry, JimRob and moderators, I just put $20 in the Free Republic Freepathon swear jar.

I can easily see how a collection of these morons could have terrorized early Nazi Germany and helped Hitler rise to power.

I can now see how Hitler got people to kill for him.

These useful idiots seem like they would be happy to, with tacit government support (or at least looking the other way, like the blind referee)

To communists evil is “them.” Nothing on “our” side is evil. Evil is not descriptive of bad, only of Not Us.

At some point, probably late next month they will begin to kill, do some assassinations of police and/or politicians. They will give that job to hired pros.
