This actually happened. And the perpetrators are left wingers. https://www.foxnews.com/us/left-wing-activists-harass-conservative-reading-bible-steal-book-and-rip-up-protester-eats-pages
Leftist protesters were spotted outside a speaking event by a conservative commentator surrounding and shouting down a man reading Bible passages before they snatched the Bible, ripped it up, and one protester ate the pages.
In the video posted by Young America’s Foundation earlier this week, a man reading Bible passages on a loudspeaker outside a screening of conservative commentator Matt Walsh’s "What is a Woman?" documentary in Madison, Wisconsin was accosted by screaming leftist protesters. One of the protesters can be seen banging on a can next to the Christian man’s face while another blared a siren next to him.
"The leftists’ attempts to silence a student reading the Bible demonstrate their utter contempt for the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded," Nick Baker, a spokesperson for Young America’s Foundation, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Always hate and violence from the left. That's their response to everything. How can any sane person see what is happening, and what they are supporting, and continue to support it???
The left wing is literally headed down the path that lead to full blown nazism, but they’re too caught up in protecting everybody’s “rights” to see it. And by the time their perspective has changed, those same people will cheer as rights and life is taken away from anyone who disagrees with them, it’s some scary deceitful shit
@Heartlander It would appear that the sane and educated people here are the oldest. I too remember the segregated schools, the separate bathrooms. I remember a lunch diner in Enfield, North Carolina that had two completely separate dining rooms. One was white and one was black.
An analysis of more than 7,750 demonstrations in 2,400 locations across the country found that 93% happened with no violence, according to the US Crisis Monitor, a joint effort by Princeton University and the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.
Reid Ross, who holds fellowships at the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right and Political Research Associates, has been tracking and mapping incidents of harassment, intimidation, and violence involving what he describes as right-wing protesters, counter-protesters, militias and vigilantes since the Minneapolis killing of George Floyd. He has collected nearly 800 incidents, most of which occurred at demonstrations against racism and police violence, though they also include some other hate-related activities that occurred in the same time period. Some have resulted in injury and death. Are you gonna follow the GOP and try to pretend Jan 6 was legitimate political discourse??
Left and right are the same, though eating a book isn’t quite the same as state sponsored genocide. If we use the word Nazi so freely what word will we use for more horrific acts.
Condemn fanatics of all political creeds but be careful not to reduce Nazi horror by ascribing that title to lesser acts.
@meJess I disagree entirely. The radical leftists who ate that Bible were mad about a deliberately and systemic effort on the part of the Republican Party & its supporters to dehumanize and use state violence against transgender people. The radical right-wingers hosting the event in question were mad about transgender people existing. The degrees of evil here really aren't comparable.
@meJess "Left and right are the same" is how a fanatic right, that hardly manages to indoctrinate a 35% of the populations (hellbent to vote the most extremist option), gets an absolute majority though the useful idiots who stay at home instead of going to the polls.
So is your argument that using violence to stop speech is fascism? If that's the case, do you agree that Trump is also a fascist since he wants to use violence to stop speech?
@checkoutanytime Just remember that the SLAVE MASTER GOVERNMENT that put American troops in Vietnam and escalated that war were DEMOCRATS. A Republican (the most liberal Republican in history) Richard Nixon ended the Vietnam war.
Hitler was a fascist dear! He was nationalistic, hated foreigners, "fags" and Jews. There is a fascist movement in the world right now in most countries. It is a Satanic movement lead by Trump.
@llloydfred Jesus defeated Satan a long time ago, and all who follow Jesus are safe. Jesus is in heaven watching and counting on us to witness his grace! 🙂
Benito Mussolini (left) and Adolf Hitler (right), the leaders of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany respectively
[b]Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
Fascism rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4][5] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries, most notably Germany.[4] Fascism also had adherents outside of Europe.[6] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, liberalism, socialism and Marxism,[7][8] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum.[4][8][9]
Fascists saw World War I as a revolution that brought massive changes to the nature of war, society, the state, and technology. The advent of total war and the mass mobilization of society erased the distinction between civilians and combatants. A military citizenship arose in which all citizens were involved with the military in some manner.[10] The war resulted in the rise of a powerful state capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines and providing logistics to support them, as well as having unprecedented authority to intervene in the lives of citizens.[10]
Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently bad and views imperialism, political violence and war as means to national rejuvenation.[11] Fascists often advocate for the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state,[12][13] and for a dirigiste[14][15] economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and economic interventionist policies.[16] Fascism's extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifests as belief in racial purity or a master race, usually blended with some variant of racism or bigotry against a demonized "Other", such as Jews. These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit genocides, massacres, forced sterilizations, mass killings, and forced deportations.[17]
@Reason10 If you weren't quaking in your boots over your fear of gay men, you wouldn't be falling all over yourself to stop teachers from acknowledging their existence. One reason for this was demonstrated by a study at the University of Georgia, where men were hooked up to machines that registered their level of arousal. The study found that the most homophobic men were also the most aroused by gay porn, suggesting that the hatred you feel toward gay men is overcompensation for your own unwanted sexual attraction to other men. I urge you to come out of the closet and just admit this instead of making such an effort to suppress it. That never works.
It's not normal for a supposedly straight man to be as obsessed with gay men the way you are.
Why didn't the trumpster "patriots" at the trumpster white nationalist charlottesville rally ask the NAZI to put away his flag? Would YOU march side by side with that excrescence??

Yeah, we know, you'll attack the source as an attempt to deflect from the content. Attacking the messenger is your only strategy???
Everyone is so busy pointing dirty fingers at the other side, they don't even realize they can't exist without one another. They are essentially the exact same monster and are using each other to create a divide. Now you have two sides claiming one another is evil or stupid so communication breaks down next each side will compare the other to past political parties that have committed unspeakable atrocities and claim they are seeking to gain toatal power and oppress the the other. So now they push each other to create fear to strengthen their resolve creating fanatics or soldiers. If you are on the left and calling the right fascist or you are on the right calling the left totalitarian communist. Congratulations you both are being used and have been fooled to fight with one another instead of focusing on the big picture. People in large groups tend to be fools following orders blindly from a leader they dont know fighting an enemy they dont know and has never hurt them personally.
@PhluorescentLeech @PhluorescentLeech Oh, America could EASILY survive without the left, without the Nazism of the liberals. The American economy (when Republicans are in charge) is like a Mercedes. Giving DemoNazis control means that Mercedes has to run with the parking brake on.
@Reason10 the same people have been in charge for the last 40 yrs. Do you feel like you have any options? Voting has become just an illusion of a choice or control.
@Longpatrol Excuse me? THIS was not a Christian movement.
This was and is YOUR SIDE OF THE AISLE.
And so far, UNELECTED JOE and his former boss THE KENYAN VILLAGE IDIOT has sucked up to theocratic Muslim states in the Middle East, even giving them means to create nuclear weapons.
Modern Nazi Bullshit. Modern Nazi has started since the End of WW2.Like 1946 and 46'. Racism has been in America since the 1st white man came to the Americas. Lets stop Pumping it up. !. A Nazi is also Infiltrator 2. The Chinese Communist are infiltrators,3. Drug Cartels Are infiltrators, 4. terrorist are infiltrator. Surprising or not these organizations right here on SW.
Is this why Nazis are trying to get books pulled from library shelves so no one can read them?
Those are the people on the right. They also want everyone to be Christian and live by the lies of the bible which is not the word of God but of the men who wrote it. ...which were not God.
“In Texas, it is illegal to provide pornography to anyone under the age of 18 according to Section 43.24 of the Texas Penal Code,” reads the letter from Mr Abbott’s office. “The fact that pornographic material that serves no educational purpose has been made available to students in Texas public schools is a clear violation of the law. That is why I am directing the Texas Education Agency to investigate any criminal activity in our public schools involving the availability of pornography.”While Mr Abbott’s latest letter includes no mentions of specific topics or books he wishes state education officials to look at, his previous letter singled out two memoirs by queer authors: Gender Queer: a Memoir by Maia Kobabe and In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado.
Both books are explicit looks at LGBT+ relationships and contain references to sexual themes; Ms Kobabe’s book was removed from school shelves in one Texas jurisdiction in recent days after parents complained about parts of the illustrated memoir that depict sexual acts.
A book depicting pornography between same-sex couples is popping up in public school libraries across the country after two national school library organizations have deemed it necessary reading material for children.
According to The Western Journal, Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe has been spotted in school libraries in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and Rhode Island.
The book reportedly contains animated images of minors performing pornographic, sexual acts.
If your child is enrolled in a public school, you might want to check what books he or she is reading. These days, you can never be sure what kind of content might be available at public schools. For instance, one pornographic book — “Gender Queer: A Memoir” — continues to pop up in school libraries all over the country. Written by cartoonist Maia Kobabe, the book contains cartoon-style pornographic images, including those depicting minors engaging in sex acts
Just to bring you up to speed on the legality of child pornography:
Child pornography laws in the United States specify that child pornography is illegal under federal law and in all states and is punishable by up to 20 years' imprisonment or a fine of $5000. The Supreme Court of the United States has found child pornography to be outside the protections of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[1] Federal sentencing guidelines on child pornography differentiate between production, distribution, and purchasing/receiving, and also include variations in severity based on the age of the child involved in the materials, with significant increases in penalties when the offense involves a prepubescent child or a child under the age of 12.[2] U.S. law distinguishes between pornographic images of an actual minor, realistic images that are not of an actual minor, and non-realistic images such as drawings. The latter two categories are legally protected unless found to be obscene, whereas the first does not require a finding of obscenity.

@CorvusBlackthorne Can we get off the Naziism and fascism because if you're just reading some authors book, what you are, why isn't there a donation page on SW for the 80–100-year-old people that had to live it. All the books like 10 or more read by for SWers that should show the help these people that lived in concentration camp and under the tyranny of the Nazis and Fascism.
America was not founded on Judeo-Christian principles, but ancient Greek ones, coupled with the understanding that separation of church and state was vital to our survival.
There is NOTHING in the United States Constitution that mentions either Greece...
The ancient Greeks invented democracy, imbecile.
...or any separation of church and state.
The establishment clause guarantees that any promotion by the government if one religion over another is unconstitutional. As such, your desire for the government to promote your religion over mine makes you an enemy of the Constitution.
That HAS nothing to do with the founding of America, you moron. And America is NOT a democracy, bat guano for brains.

That is a lie. It's obvious your blue state public schools are turning out a generation of idiots.
The First Amendment doesn't mention one religion over another. It was written to prevent the monolithic example set by the England, and the Church Of England (now known as the Anglican Church). Give it up, numbnuts. You don't know anything. You're wrong. And your schools are graduating meatheads.

And you feel the founding fathers would be content with a different church being in bed with the federal government? Thomas Jefferson was rather clear on that subject:
But of course, you would rather wallow in your ad hominem attacks than do the slightest bit of research yourself.
@Reason10 You are literally arguing with an article with cited sources from respected institutions. You are now telling me that you know more than the people who spend their lives studying history.
@Reason10 Republicans are communists. By "communist," I mean "people I don't like."
That's literally how you sound when you say Democrats are "Nazis." Call me when Democrats are rounding up Jews and sending them to concentration camps. You may want to read up on what Nazism actually is before misusing the term and making yourself come across even stupider than you really are.
