Kamala Harris has spent the last two weeks calling Donald Trump a fascist – and a hitler admirer as well.
If we had neutral, unbiased media, this would – and should – have been attacked unmercifully. But we don’t. So, with very few exceptions, it has been accepted without criticism…
…which is why Victor Davis Hanson’s latest commentary, titled “Once Joyful Harris Now Goes the Full McCarthyite”, is so important.
Here are a number of excerpts – which, I hope, convince to use the above link and read Mr. Hanson’s entire piece, so you can see how he fleshes out each point:
In the last two weeks, Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.
If Harris refers to Trump’s supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence.
Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.
Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.
Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier.
Fascists try to warp the legal system. But Trump’s own Justice Department selected an independent special counsel to investigate the invented Russian collusion accusations against him.
In vast contrast, the Biden Justice Department coordinated with Georgia prosecutors Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump, bankrupt him, and keep off the campaign trail.
Fascists seek to change existing laws to destroy opponents and illegally consolidate power.
Currently, it is only the Democrats who seek to pack the court, destroy the Electoral College, end the Senate filibuster, and create two new states and thus gain four left-wing senators.
Fascists arbitrarily nullify any laws they feel do not aid their agendas. Biden-Harris destroyed immigration law in order to bring in more than 12 million illegal aliens and gain new constituencies.
Again, this is just a sampling. There is a lot more. But I think, or at least hope, you get the idea…and read all the rest to get the full import of Mr. Hanson’s commentary.
saul alinsky, in his “Rules For Radicals”, told us that one way of getting where you want to go is to “accuse your opponent of what you are doing”.
Notice a similarity here? I sure hope so.
