The 'Islamophobia' Scam Returns

See Robert Spencer, at FrontPage Magazine:
It wasn’t accidental that Hitler’s Reich had an entire Ministry of Propaganda: lying to the public is a major job, as the cleverest of propaganda constructs is always threatened by the simple facts. CAP is trying to compel non-Muslims to disregard what they see every day — Muslims committing violence against non-Muslims and justifying it by referring to Islamic texts — and instead embrace a fictional construct: Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance. This takes a relentless barrage of propaganda, and “Fear, Inc. 2.0” is just the latest in a steady stream from CAP and its allies, which are exponentially wealthier and better-funded than the groups CAP vilifies in this report.

“Fear, Inc. 2.0” is filled with assertions that white is black, and that your lying eyes are deceiving you. We’re told that I myself am “the primary driver in promoting the myth that peaceful Islam is nonexistent and that violent extremism is inherent within traditional Islam.” CAP doesn’t offer any evidence for this being a “myth” – it doesn’t have to, as its Leftist constituency takes that as self-evident.
Read the whole thing.

The new CAP report is here, FWIW.

Leftists are screaming "Islamophobia" today like they've been screaming "McCarthyism" since the 1950s. Of course, Joseph McCarthy was right about Communist infiltration in the U.S. government, despite his regretful turn to demagogy and, ultimately, self-destruction.

The folks at CAP and their regressive fellow travelers are literally working to bring down the United States in the current era. The battle's been raging for decades but with the election of Barack Hussein in 2008 far-left traitors gained a foothold in the White House. 2016 is about taking the country back once and for all.

Oh My! @MSNBC's Krystal Ball: 'Animal Farm' Actually a Parable About Greedy Capitalists (Bumped)

I know.

The mind reels.

This woman is literally brainless. Piketty's book is titled "Capital" for a reason.

From Darleen Click, at Protein Wisdom, "Positively Orwellian":

"Even the aghast and ostensibly economically literate The Wall Street Journal tells him to read Animal Farm. Animal Farm, hmm. Isn't that Orwell's political parable of farm animals where a bunch of pigs hog up all the economic resources, tell the animals they need the food because they're the makers and then scare up a prospect of a phony boogie man every time their greed is challenged? Sounds familiar. Hey conservatives, it's time to stop the childish Cold War name-calling and deal with facts. Either that or be relegated to the kids and the crazy uncle table at holiday dinners."
Huh?

Look, even the left-wing editors at Wikipedia get it right:
Animal Farm is an allegorical and dystopian novel by George Orwell, published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was an outspoken critic of Joseph Stalin and, especially after experiences with the NKVD and the Spanish Civil War, he was actively opposed to the controversial ideology of Stalinism. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin "un conte satirique contre Staline", and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), he wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he had tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole".
