My latest in PJ Media:
As Rick Moran noted here at PJ Media yesterday, the Biden campaign was swift to repudiate anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour after her crowning moment, her remarks at a Democratic National Convention (DNC) Caucus and Council Meeting for “Muslim Delegates & Allies.” The Democratic Party, said Sarsour, is “absolutely our party,” but the Biden camp was quick to emphasize that “She has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever.” As Moran pointed out, “the Trump campaign didn’t let the hypocrisy slip by,” and there is no doubt that the hypocrisy levels are off the charts here, but the mixed messages actually represent the Democratic Party’s efforts to put the best possible face on an impossible situation.
The mixing of the message here is likely the result of careful consideration on the part of Democrat strategists. The most popular figure in the party today is not Joe Biden, and certainly not Kamala Harris. To the dismay of Democrat leaders who prefer their Marxism a bit more subtly presented, it’s still Bernie Sanders.
Bernie is the only presidential candidate on the Left who inspires enthusiasm and passion that remotely approaches Donald Trump levels. Even though he is nearly 80 and suffered a heart attack in the past year, he is the standard-bearer of the youthful and vigorous wing of the party, the young, hate-filled, anti-American, far-left wing, the candidate of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the candidate of antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Sanders and his followers love Linda Sarsour; she was even a surrogate for his campaign. Thus she had to appear at the DNC as part of ongoing efforts to keep Bernie’s base loyal and in line behind Biden.
In a sane political party, which leaves out the Democrats, Sarsour wouldn’t be anywhere near any of the presidential contenders. Her record of questionable statements and associations is long. As far back as September 22, 2011, Sarsour tweeted: “shariah law is reasonable and once u read into the details it makes a lot of sense. People just know the basics.” Her position didn’t change over time. On May 12, 2015, she tweeted: “If you are still paying interest than Sharia Law hasn’t taken over America. #justsaying.” And on April 10, 2016, Sarsour tweeted about Sharia again: “Sharia Law is misunderstood & has been pushed as some evil Muslim agenda.”
Sarsour tweeted on March 8, 2011: “Brigitte Gabriel = Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She’s asking 4 an a$$ whippin’. I wish I could take their vaginas away – they don’t deserve to be women.” This call for physical violence against someone she hates received no notice among her sycophants on the Left.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
J Morgan says
Sarsour is nasty in her speech and frame of mind.

Her surname should be spelled, Sarsewer.

My theory is that that the smartest and brightest of the Democrats have left the Party and only the dumbest and dullest remain.

I get a kick out of watching this video from Sargon of Akkad. I just wish it did not end so abruptly. There are so many more disconcerting Democratic faces he could have added.

I get a kick out of this video. I just wish Sargon would not have ended it so abruptly … but he does manage to bring out the creepiness in the Democrat smiles. Can’t believe he did not end it with Old Joe showing his Joker face.

Sargon’s a treasure.
James Lincoln says
CogitoErgoSum,
I like your theory.
The other way to look at it is that the Democratic Party has left the traditional JFK type liberals behind.
Same result.
These “old-school” Democrats are suffering severe cognitive dissonance. They’re not sure who they dislike more, Pres. Trump – or the Far Left.
They will either not vote in November will vote for Pres. Trump and not tell anyone…

We Demo-rats can’t afford to alienate our fellow totalitarian collectivists… the Muz-rats. Taqiyya (deception) is part and parcel of Islam and socialism. The shrewd Muslims aren’t offended, they know the score, they understand the stealth and approve. Linda Sarsour is the open secret mistress at the Demo-rats wedding anniversary celebration, the wife isn’t supposed to know, but everybody else does.
“By any means necessary, the end justifies the means” is essential to all aspiring dictatorships, what free society would knowingly deliver itself into slavery? Get the Trojan Horse out, the Dems and the Muzzies first have to unite and conquer, they’ll fight each other after for power and the spoils.
The Koran and the Communist Manifesto? They’re taqiyya cookbooks.

Roland says
You’ve provided a good reason not to vote for the Democrats, but your Republican friends have yet to explain why they are trashing Social Security and Medicare.
J Morgan says
I believe that is misinformation. Trump has gone out of his way to reassure people that he will protect Social Security and its accompanying Medicare. I have personally heard him say this recently.
CogitoErgoSum says
Here is what Trump was saying last week.

The Biden-Harris Manifesto clearly states that anyone will be allowed to have medicare just for the asking. This includes the millions of illegals in American and the millions more the Democrats will allow to walk over the border. Do you have any idea what that will do Medicare even without illegals on Medicare.
jewdog says
One police officer abuses one black man in an American city and suddenly racism is The Issue for the Democrats. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are displaced and massacred in Syria and Iraq, many of them non-Muslims or innocent Kurds at the hands of the Turks, gays are murdered in Iran and other Muslim venues and the Chicoms crush HK democrats, Muslims and Buddhists, but the Democrats don’t mention it. They’re the party of navel gazing and have become irrelevant.
Wellington says
Neither any sensible Jewish-American nor any black American should vote Democrat.
This is a “bottom-line” assessment I would welcome an attempted refutation of. I aver it can’t be done in a cogent and informed manner.
ANYONE, prove me wrong. Give it a shot. I defy you to do so.
GreekEmpress says
My money’s on you, Wellington!
Wellington says
Thank you, GreekEmpress. Sadly, I suspect I will have no “takers.”

The Democrats Are Sending Out Mixed Messages About Linda Sarsour. Here’s Why.
…………………
Just disgusting.
tgusa says
At least there is a reason for the Biden cognitive decline but Sanders and the rest have no reason or excuse. I guess the answer is if you never had any cognitive ability of course it wont decline. I would love to see a group photo of the people that vote for them.
tgusa says
The democrats built this and now it is out of control. The movement they built has no use for them and they have no idea how to put this genie back in to the bottle. They are now eating their creators and their creators don’t like that.

We need to just keep doing what we are doing and let them keep doing what they are doing and see which side gains the most supporters. With the choice between destruction vs civilization, I wager civilization will win out.

This should have been posted under Reclaiming Our Culture from the Left so I will re post it there. My error.

so she says that we think is some evil Muslim thinks Sharia Law
then why did CAIR take the government to could wanting Blasphemy laws
well they want Blasphemy laws to stop people from telling the truth
and by the way anything one says anything Islam doesn’t like anything
would be under Blasphemy laws
by the way in some countries the punishment’s for violating Blasphemy law
is death
the way to shut you up
