On 'Tracing The Left's Escalating War On Military Recruiters'

Michelle Malkin has posted a chronicle of the unhinged antiwar left's escalating attacks on our nations military recruiters. Michelle notes in her piece how the anti-recruiter thugs have thrived thanks to a combination of public indifference, law enforcement fecklessness, and left-wing ideological apologism, and challenges the left and the Democrat Party to raise their voices - loudly and clearly - to condemn the ongoing, militant anti-recruiter campaign. I would take this a step further and offer that the entire nation should be be outraged and be demanding that the left and the Democratic Party raise their voices - loudly and clearly - to condemn the ongoing, militant anti-recruiter campaign.

Michelle's report is worthy of all the attention it can possibly get from the American public and is today's must read.

[...] Ideas have consequences. Inaction has consequences. For the past several years, I've chronicled the Left's escalating war on military recruiters-and the apathetic, weak-kneed response to it. In Unhinged, I devoted a sub-section of my chapter "They Don't Support Our Troops" to the organized campaign of harassment against recruitment offices on college campuses nationwide. The anti-recruiter thugs have thrived thanks to a combination of public indifference, law enforcement fecklessness, and left-wing ideological apologism. As you may recall, I have personal experience with the anti-recruiter propagandists, who lie through their teeth, exploit media sympathy, and harbor nothing but raw hatred for the men and women who protect and defend their rights to bitch and moan.

Many observers wanted to shut out any possibility that yesterday's bombing at the Times Square recruitment center was ideologically motivated.

But will any on the left and in the Democrat Party raise their voices-loudly and clearly-to condemn the ongoing, militant anti-recruiter campaign?

Will they urge the Code Pinkos and their ilk to halt their intimidation and obstruction efforts?

Or will they continue to sit silently and attempt to downplay yesterday's bombing as an isolated incident- instead of the all-too-predictable symptom of reckless tolerance for dangerous "peace"-peddlers skating on the edge of sedition?

Context matters. Drawing on my past reporting and blogging, here is a brief history of the anti-military recruitment movement's mounting acts of vandalism and violence (which is by no means comprehensive and which I'll continue to amend as commenters and readers remind me of other incidents). Let the apologists and pooh-poohers delude themselves into believing that the Times Square bombing was a "lone" act. The facts speak for themselves:
