Gay Patriot notes the Democrat Party’s slouches toward open racism:

1. The Democrat Mayor of Kansas City brags about driving the white people out of his city. Can you imagine the outrage of another mayor had bragged that his city was better for having fewer black or Hispanic people in it? One notes, he said this at a convention for a group called “The Nation Council of the Race;” whose historical motto has been, “Within the race is all; outside the race is nothing.”

2. First Hillary and now dunderheaded Democrat candidate Martin O’Malley (the best governor Virginia ever had) have been attacked for saying “All lives matter.” O’Malley was forced to apologize for his gaffe of suggesting that the lives of members of other races mattered as much as black lives.

Powerline notes the radical aspects of the left and how this will affect the elections more than the “Trumps” in our party. We (and most of the candidates) rebuke Trump. Mums the word from the Democratic candidates:

…Steve wrote on Saturday about the rather shocking events at the annual “Nutroots” convention in Phoenix. Both Martin O’Malley’s and Bernie Sanders’s appearances were interrupted by “Black Lives Matter” protesters who, rather than being ejected from the hall, were invited to share the stage. These are the same bullies who invade restaurants in New York and other cities, shouting racial slogans at diners. This video is 22 minutes long, so you probably won’t want to watch all of it. But it is worth a few minutes of your time to see how crazy the scene was. It is the same kind of thing that worked so well for the Democrats in 1968.

Bernie Sanders responded grumpily, while O’Malley looked like he wished he was somewhere else. Toward the end of the video, when O’Malley responded to the protesters, he was shouted down when he suggested that criminal violence is worth mentioning, along with police violence. Most significantly, just after the 20 minute mark in the video, O’Malley said that “all lives matter,” including even “white lives.” This was greeted with howls of protest. Later on, someone apparently explained his mistake to O’Malley, and he apologized:

Later, when O’Malley was on “This Week in Blackness,” he apologized. O’Malley stated that he “meant no disrespect” and characterized his remarks as a “mistake.”

So in one of America’s two major parties, it is not permissible to say that “all lives matter.” Such a controversial sentiment is too hot to handle. The Democrats have gone off the deep end, and seem to be fully in thrall to their most extreme elements. Maybe there is an opportunity here for Hillary Clinton to show some political courage by denouncing her party’s far left. But when has Hillary ever shown political courage?

In the meantime, it is on the Democratic side of the aisle, not the Republican, where trouble is brewing that is likely to spill over into the general election next year.
