"The antifa movement — a network of loosely organized radical groups who use direct action to fight the far-right and fascism — has been targeted by President Donald Trump as the force behind some of the violence and property destruction seen at some protests, though little evidence has been provided for such claims."
This is B.S. - "loosely organized radical groups" - are they shitting me? They are quite organized, well-funded whose main goal is to create chaos. Don't let Twitter pull the wool over your eyes because we know where they stand insofar as politics go. I imagine Soros is laughing like hell as he's a sponsor of domestic terror big time, not only in the U.S. but elsewhere as well. The Left are laughing like hell, gleefully hoping that this chaos continues right thru to the election with the hope the dementia Joe will be President, then the REAL leaders - whomever is behind the scenes - can take over. This is a fight Conservatives must win in order to fight the marxist ideologies of the Left.
JMHO
Thank you Dixie! You did a FINE JOB of condemning Antifa!
The horrible truth is that Antifa as a group are as bad as the Nazi Brown Shirts!
Here is an article condemning LIE-beral friendly media for offering undeserved defense of Antifa thugs. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Undeserved praise for Antifa’s thugs
BY CANDICE MALCOLM.

The tables have turned for a group of masked anarchists who claim to be protecting our society from the threat of a fascist takeover.
They call themselves “Antifa” — short for anti-fascists — and they’ve been showing up at rallies and forming counter-protests to stop right-wing groups across North America.
Far from vigilante heroes, however, Antifa has been exposed as a mob of violent and radical leftists who attack anyone who gets in their way.
Following the violence in Charlottesville, VA, Antifa was praised and celebrated in the mainstream media and by politicians across the political spectrum.
(There was plenty of blame to go around in that mess! Right wing kooks and left wing swine! Trump was right to condemn them ALL!)
High profile Republicans like Mitt Romney, John McCain and Marco Rubio absolved Antifa of any wrongdoing. McCain claimed they were simply “Americans standing up to defy hate and bigotry.”
Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesman attempted to legitimize Antifa, comparing these masked radicals to Allied soldiers who fought against the Nazis during WWII.
Rubio went further, validating Antifa’s violent tactics when it came to combatting white supremacists.
In Canada, several journalists jumped on the Antifa bandwagon.
Former Sun columnist Warren Kinsella said, “the only ones who should oppose Antifa are fascists” and another former Sun columnist, Michael Coren, said that “condemning Antifa is wrong.”
There’s a problem, however, for those who defend this group. Anfita’s central belief is that violence is the only way to stop fascism.
(Sadly there is a second problem- that Antifa thinks anybody who condemns LIE-beral policy is ALSO fascist! Antifa sees nothing wrong with LIE-beral Islamophobia propaganda that is far more useful to LIE-berals as a way to silence critics of their many failed policies than it is as a definition of attitude to Muslims! Islamphobia is a smoke screen!)
They claim that neo-Nazis and white supremacists use hate speech that leads to violence, and therefore the use of force is necessary to stop the spread of fascism.
Accordingly, they cover their faces with black masks so they can be violent and commit crimes with impunity.
(Many LIE-berals consider that being opposed to masses of illegals wandering across the Cdn border is a sign of white supremacist thought- in spite of legitimate concern by ordinary people regarding how these often totally unskilled illegals will survive in Canada without massive govt aid which we canot afford to supply! LIE-berals also ignore the very real threat of Muslim terror cells sneaking in with the other illegals!)
Since the Charlottesville clash, Antifa thugs have engaged in violence and vandalism in Boston, Quebec City and this past weekend in Berkeley, Calif.
In Quebec, a political group called Le Meute held a rally to protest illegal immigration and the government’s mishandling of the crisis along the border.
Quebec City police said Le Meute’s rally was “peaceful and orderly,” but the same cannot be said about the violent mob that showed up to oppose them.
The counter-protest digressed into a riot, and Antifa thugs began setting fires, vandalizing private property and pelting police officers with smoke bombs, fireworks and glass bottles.
One man, who was carrying a Quebec flag, was brutally assaulted with bricks.
Another man, a journalist covering the protests for Global News, was thrown down a flight of stairs and his cameraman’s camera was smashed.
An anonymous letter posted later on an anarchist website defended the use of violence against police and journalists.
(So much for any logical debate on LIE-beral policy!)
Likewise, the violent riot last weekend in Berkeley was unprovoked.
Antifa thugs attacked peaceful demonstrators and any bystanders who got in their way. Antifa members popularized the idea it was okay to “punch a Nazi”.
(And of course it will be Antifa who defines “Nazi”! With heavy emphasis on labelling anybody who disagrees with them as Nazi!)
But this is a slippery slope. When there were no Nazis to be found, Antifa began punching conservatives, police officers, journalists and anyone else who questioned their militant tactics.
As the Sun’s Lorrie Goldstein pointed out, “the ‘Antifa’ movement has always had at its core a group of masked violent thugs who delight in assaulting innocent people and destroying property.”
(These are the kind of people who agree with former prime minister Pierre Trudope- the father of Our idiot Boy Justin- papa Pierre wrote a great many things denouncing democracy and what he called “Cdn Imperialism” Pierre is on written record telling us that the British war against Nazi Germany was British Imperialism and Pierre went on to praise Chinese Communist Chairman Mao for “his genius in rushing 30 million Chinese to the gallows” to cement control of China. The Trudope LIE-berals are Not people to turn to in defense of democracy or common sense!)
There is no room for political violence in our free society.
We should work out our differences through speech, reasoned debate and peaceful demonstrations — not brute force.
(But how sad that neither Antifa nor LIE-berals want public debate or public opinion either on issues related to govt debt, immigration control and Muslim terror! Its why LIE-berals are moving ahead to make their M 103 Islamophobia motion into law- without bothering to EXPLAIN what Islamophobia means to them- other than letting it be vaguely seen as a generalized opposition to LIE-beral thought!)
Just as conservatives universally condemned the alt-right after Charlottesville, it’s now the left’s turn to condemn and disavow the violent anarchists in Antifa.
(But LIE-berals will NOT do such a thing as it will cost them votes and make it harder for them to cling to power at any price!)
