Tactics of Tyranny: Leftist Mob Organizes Against GOP
Matthew Vadum writes at Frontpage:
The Obama-backed “Occupy” movement has been working nonstop in New Hampshire bullying, intimidating, harassing, and provoking the Republican Party’s presidential candidates.
It is the kind of unseemly, Latin American-style political activism that threatens to become a permanent feature of American politics if President Obama wins a second term.
It’s also the classic Saul Alinsky “inside/outside” strategy. Ensconced in the White House Obama appears to remain above the fray while his loyal minions on the outside of officialdom do their best to irritate and embarrass his Republican adversaries.
The activists attend the candidates’ campaign events, shouting and carrying on in an attempt to prevent Republicans from speaking.
They’re not interested in honest discussion or debate: their only goal is to silence the opposition.
"The Occupiers’ tactics are the kind one might expect to see from the Italian squadristi or the German Sturmabteilung," Vadum notes. These authoritarian tools of fascist Europe "used physical coercion and intimidation to halt the democratic process."
