The Left is increasingly open about its embrace of violence. Rocky times ahead.
“Media Completely Ignore Ilhan Omar Endorsing Violence Against a Senator,” by Alex Griswold, Washington Free Beacon, July 30, 2019:
Did I just imagine things yesterday, or did Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) not endorse a tweet mocking violence against a Republican senator and saying it was “no wonder” it happened? I ask because I distinctly remember writing about it, and seeing it appear on other conservative websites. I can’t seem to find anything about it on the dozens of mainstream outlets that you’d think would be on top of something like that.
The whole thing got started when Rand Paul publicly offered to pay to send the “ungrateful” Omar back to her native Somalia so she could learn to appreciate the United States. Paul’s comment were unquestionably stupid and offensive, but in patented Squad fashion, Omar responded by upping the stupid factor and retweeting a tweet from Resistance Twitterererer and former actor Tom Arnold.
For those who don’t recall, Paul was hospitalized in 2017 after being attacked from behind by a disgruntled neighbor. The senator suffered six broken ribs and suffered lung damage which later led to a bout of pneumonia that effectively sidelined him from his congressional duties. His attacker was sentenced to 30 days in prison, and was ordered by a jury to pay Paul $500,000 for the substantial physical and emotional trauma. Hilarious!
A key part of Omar’s political narrative revolves around the threats of physical violence she’s faced, and in particular how her critics are responsible for those threats. When Republican Texas Rep. David Crenshaw accused Omar of minimizing the 9/11 attacks with her much-parsed “some people did something” comments, that was “dangerous incitement” according to her. When Trump cut a video attacking the same remarks and splicing in 9/11 footage, other Democrats picked up the slack; presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) said he was “inciting violence.” Her primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., VT) called it “dangerous.” Not to be outdone, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D., NY) compared Omar to Holocaust victims and said “[Ilhan’s] life is in danger.”
Omar can’t have it both ways. You can’t insist that the merely harsh, unfair, bigoted, etc. criticism you face is “incitement to violence,” but then give your stamp of approval to comments that actually make direct reference to and delight in violence against your enemies. For the hypocrisy angle alone, Omar’s comments were newsworthy…
Catherine F Maestas says
I pray this Freak ACCIDENT of Muslims coming in the USA dries up at the Roots & comes to a Complete Stop stop stop. Go back to your countries. Ungrateful VISITORS…
Donald says
I hope you all don’t proclaim Christianity, because this comment section would then be full of the most hypocritical sinners. We’re all immigrants… Statistically, more white people commit terrorist acts in the US than Muslims. Telling people to go back to where they came from is one of the most uneducated things I’ve heard spew out of my fellow Americans mouths. Assuming everyone is either a leftist or a conservative is so polarizing and so damaging to our nation. Everyone in this comment section, and the writers on this page, need to take a long look at yourselves. You should be ashamed. Y’all are the ones dividing our great nation. Your comments, your ideologies, your beliefs are racist. Wake the hell up before it’s too late.
Jeff Sanders says
Read 2John 1:10. Learn God’s word before you speak about it . Are we one nation under God ? Is there only one God ? Yes and yes . His name is not Allah and He is not the moon god. Freedom of religion was intended to protect us from government telling us how to worship THE GOD …not any upstart wanna be “god”. His Word tells us all we need to know .
Phyllis Starr says
Amen
Mike Boyd says
Whoever states white people have killed more than the Muslims need to check their history. Scary part is these same people are allowed to vote.
Frank Casian says
Seriously!?!?!
Better make some wooden swords THOR!
THE DARKIES ARE COMING FOR YE!
???? Poor stupid Dumbass
Carolyne says
Telling people to go back to where they came from is only a helpful suggestion and not an “Uneducated” one at that. If I lived in a country I hated as Ms Omar obviously hates the US, I would leave it forthwith. She is, after all, free to do so.
Johnny Kristensen says
Just noticed when I enter “Robert Spencer” in Google the first suggestion is “Robert Spencer obituary”. Thank God he’s not dead.
And yes, Google is Evil…

I don’t see that, can you screenshot it and send to tech @ Jihadwatch.org (remove spaces around the @)
You can see how to screenshot here https://snag.gy/
Angemon says
I saw this too. Tried the same in incognito mode (logged out of my google account), got different results. Will send screenshots.
mortimer says
The Left and Islam share the same viewpoint: “It isn’t TERRORISM when WE do it.”
The Leftards haven’t bothered to ask themselves whom they will call when the Muslims come for the Leftards.
If the Left acquiesces to removing the human rights of everyone but themselves and Muslims, they are giving Muslims an eventual way to persecute the Left when they have the upper hand.
We see how the Left is treated in Islamic countries. Turkey has the most journalists in jail for any country.
Editors of newspapers are frequently jailed in other Islamic countries as well.
Is Tom Arnold endorsing vigilante attacks ??? It seems he is.
RonaldB says
I take a slightly different view of it. Both the cultural Marxism of the left and the beginning stages of jihad war, as detailed in Malik “The Quranic Art of War” mandate the destruction of the social fabric of the target society, and the loss of confidence the current government. Violence is part of the tactical plan, after a mainly non-violent preparation period. The left and the Muslims thus share a common approach to gaining power. The left appears to be almost past the non-violent stage, having prepared the groundwork with Soros-funded pro-criminal states attorneys and elected judges and officials.
Thus, the left and the Muslims are sharing the foxholes at this stage of the battle for totalitarian power.
I would say that Ilhan Omar is the vanguard of the formal Muslim passage from stage one of jihad. She is an openly-anti-American legislator, and makes no pretense of disavowing violence in pursuit of Muslim goals.
Of course, we know the Muslim will kill the leftists once their campaign is far enough along. The leftists probably know it also, but they are actually less concerned with that than with destroying their home society. Hate is that powerful; they would rather be destroyed than allow Western culture to continue. Thus, the observation that the Muslims kill leftists when then get control will not be a persuasive argument to leftists.

That is alien to Marxism. We need to discuss this because you may be operating politically under a falsehood.

From “The Communist Manifesto”
“All objections urged against the Communistic mode of producing and appropriating material

Just as, to the bourgeois, the disappearance of class property is the disappearance of production itself, so the disappearance of class culture is to him identical with the disappearance of all culture.
That culture, the loss of which he laments, is, for the enormous majority, a mere training to act as a machine”

“The bottom line here is that for social progress and the liberation of the worker to occur, the current culture and value system must be attacked and replaced with a new one that reflects the interests of workers and, more broadly, the oppressed. Establishing this new “truth” is critical to human liberation. It thus fits well with the trends we saw in the last article dealing with postmodernism.”

As RonaldB points out, the Communist Manifesto itself calls for the destruction of culture,and later influential Communists sneer at culture as worthless.
And, indeed, everywhere that Communism, has been established culture has been largely destroyed. To the extent that it has survived anywhere, it has done so because it has been nurtured underground, often at great risk to the individuals involved.

What Felix Quigley is doing here is demanding that Jihad Watch and all the posters here flog the horrors of Communism. No thanks.
Wellington says
Marxism, Quigley, is one of the three greatest and most tragic errors in human history. The other two are Islam and Nazism. How much better off the world would have been (and be to this day) if Mohammed, Marx and Hitler never existed. You won’t get this but I thought I’d state it for the record nonetheless.

ANSWER TO RONALD B.
But you yourself have just made the distinction. I do not know the origin of the term “cultural Marxism” but certainly the Frankfurt School is an extreme distortion of what the Marxists had believed and written. YOU above have made the distinction.
This is not a facile answer. You yourself have made a distinction. To follow this further would mean me writing about the Frankfurt School
From “The Communist Manifesto”
“All objections urged against the Communistic mode of producing and appropriating material

ANSWER TO RONALD B.
What Marx writes above can be put more simply. The bourgeois or capitalist can see no other system than his own, and can recognize no other culture than his own. It is a passing comment, true, but not the centre of that essay The Communist Manifesto. The last line though is very precise, and is based on the study of Marx and Engels in production in England, in the case of Engels direct study of the origins of capitalist production in the Manchester area, where he managed a factory. He wrote about the clearances from the land of the peasantry and their transformation into “free” labourers.
Engels was the son of a German textile manufacturer and was sent to Manchester. He wrote his book Condition Of The Working Class….https://www.studocu.com/en/document/studocu-university/studocu-summary-library/summaries/the-condition-of-the-working-class-in-england-analysis/1041434/view
as a young man of 22, and concentrated on the issue of wages and the conditions of life for the newly created working class. The above is a summary for students but useful and readable.
The word “culture” can have many meanings. That is the “culture” Marx is talking about. The “culture” in which workers are forced to earn a living. After being forced off the land, and the land transformed into sheep ranges, they are of course “free” labourers.
Ronald B. now quotes from a different source but using this source adds to confusion:
From “Cultural Marxism: Gramsci and the Frankfurt School, Emerging Worldviews”
“The bottom line here is that for social progress and the liberation of the worker to occur, the current culture and value system must be attacked and replaced with a new one that reflects the interests of workers and, more broadly, the oppressed. Establishing this new “truth” is critical to human liberation. It thus fits well with the trends we saw in the last article dealing with postmodernism.”

I REPLY to this
I do not know who this organization breakpoint.org actually is. They are quoting from Gramsci who died in jail after a long imprisonment by the Italian Fascists. But his writing has been disputed. Marxists do not attack culture. Cutlure, the achievements of mankind, are not the property of the capitalist class, or of capitalism, or of the working class, but must become the property of mankind.
It is capitalism which is destroying our culture in front of our eyes, the culture of the earth, with Global Warming and the mass elimination of species. We are living in that crisis today.
I donot think Gramsci is relevant to this discussion.

Yes, Felix, the people promoting things like transgender children or the denial of basic biology (such as there only existing two genders) are capitalists… No, wait, it’s the other way around – they’re everything but capitalists. In fact, they hate capitalism.

For Felix Quigley
How interesting. I just finished reading a long essay referenced on another website. You can find it here: http://www.kosmospolis.com/2014/07/la-escuela-de-francfort-un-estudio-critico/
The essay is in Spanish, but if you can’t read Spanish (I can’t) the Google translation is extremely credible. The author, Gil Sánchez-Valiente, apparently spent years researching and writing it. So, I share with you the fruits of my reading it.
Cultural Marxism had its beginning in 1917, after the Bolshevik Revolution. By classic Marxism-Leninism, once the revolution begins, the workers in multiple countries should see their class interests as wage earners rather than capitalists, and join together to over throw the capitalist system.
But, it didn’t happen. So, the Marxists explored the possible reasons, and came up with the reason that it was the strong European culture, the Christianity, the social conventions, the social hierarchy, the cultural traditions, that kept the workers from recognizing their common interests. These Marxists then determined that the best path to a Marxist revolution is a side path to destroy the prevailing culture that was keeping the workers from identifying as workers rather than as nationals.
This was the root of cultural Marxism. The focus was always on revolution and overthrowing the system, but the cultural Marxists were Marxists who saw national identity and traditional culture as a barrier that had to be demolished before the workers could go on to act as a class.
Traditional Marxists like Felix Quigley saw this as a betrayal of Marxism, which emphasized that the class struggle was prime, and that the destruction of bourgeois culture was only a side effect of the revolution. The cultural Marxists thought that class struggle would absolutely fail as a rallying point until the culture itself was destroyed.
The Frankfurt School was composed of these Marxists who had concluded that culture must be demolished before the class or communist revolution could proceed. They developed specific long-range plans for the destruction of culture: capturing public education, co-option of university education, disparagement of marriage, childhood sex education, denigration of traditional roles and the like. This was worked out even prior to moving to the United States.
Felix Quigley can argue that the evolving of Marxists to cultural Marxists was illegitimate Marxism. But, he can’t deny that classic Marxism is the root of cultural Marxism.

Fine summation, Roland B, of the roots of cultural Marxism. Instructive how any kind of Marxism is both wrong and highly destructive—degenerate too.
mortimer says
Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud and so should be jailed.
Mobuyus says
And upon release deported back to her own comfortably islamic country of somalia.
elee says
She flagrantly violated the Logan Act when she met in private with Recep Tayyip Erdogan in September of 2017 and discussed lots of foreign policy issues. I for one don’t want my foreign policy made by anyone in any private meeting with Erdogan or any other Muslim despot. That’s why the Logan Act came to be 200 years ago. Now Erdogan is urging all and sundry to contribute money to Omar……..well, who knows where that money goes next? Anybody want to ping the Justice Department about this? Don’t bother, POTUS kind of likes that Erdogan, since Giuliani started getting retainers from Ankara.
Jayell says
All this lot plus numerous traffic violations? Is she deliberately finding things to do wrong? She’s clearly not fit for purpose either as a member of Congress or a US citizen, so why is she still in place?

“Omar can’t have it both ways. You can’t insist that the merely harsh, unfair, bigoted, etc. criticism you face is “incitement to violence,” but then give your stamp of approval to comments that actually make direct reference to and delight in violence against your enemies.“
That’s it, in a nutshell. Will anyone in the MSM dare to point this out? Not a chance
Felix Quigley says
I refer you to Mueller moving outside of settled law and going for new forms of law, in which he dismisses Habeas Corpus…Trump is guilty without proving it was the method used by Mueller
This is moving into Fascism and there are similarities also to Stalin and Stalinism as in the Moscow Trials.
On Youtube Judge Jennine has the best exposure of this./
Emmanuel Thogaru says
Omar needs to go somewhere. She doesn’t fit here. Maybe Afghanistan or Pakistan would be ideal places for her apart from her own country Somalia. This is never going to be like UK and Europe. No mullahs allowed. Long live president Trump and hottest places to the dumb dems.

Ilhan Omar endorses violence against Senator Rand Paul

Just sickening. Muslims and hard Leftists are becoming emboldened faster than I would ever have believed possible. This needs to be exposed and condemned as widely as possible.

A Muslim endorsing violence. Wow, this is something new and only an Islamophobe would aver otherwise.
Stargazer says
Arrest her for domestic terrorism !
OLD GUY says
She came to this country as our guest and was given the opportunity to become a citizen. She could have gone to any number of Islamic countries, but she choose America. Unfortunately she thinks that we should change our laws and customs to suit her Islamic and Sharia ideals. Sorry Omar you need to pack your muslim ass up and head to one of your favorite Islam loving countries. Maybe you can find paradise and the wonderful loving life style of Sharia Law that you so want. Good Luck and Good BYE! I”ll be glad to buy you a ONE WAY ticket.

Michael says
Ilhan Omar is a radical who never should’ve been elected to office, she has also said a lot of hateful and racist things against an ally Israel and even anti American things about 9/11. Omar is proof of why new legislation in congress is needed to make it the same as running for president, in order to run for any political office one should have to be an American citizen who was born in this country. Ilhan Omar is also known to support radical Muslims by her own words. The country needs to get better educated on what radicals really believe. http://www.ActForAmerica.org
