Have you noticed that the people who claim they're fighting fascism are the ones smashing windows, starting fires, hurling rocks at police, beating people up and denying basic rights to others? They haven't. The irony hasn't escaped others, though. Rex Murphy writes at National Post:
There are fascists on campus. Protesters don’t realize it’s them, not Milo Yiannopoulos

If you've been paying attention for the last few days, you may have noticed a concerted effort by many liberals to suggest that the "Black Bloc" protesters who showed up at the Berkeley riots are not part of the progressive movement. That suggestion is absurd. These folks are part of the Democratic Party's base. They showed up in Ferguson, Charlotte, Baltimore, the inauguration and now Berkeley.

I wrote the other day about how Bill Maher was complaining that liberals apologize too much, and I wrote that was not my "lived experience" as someone who lives among liberals, Do liberals really apologize too much? My "lived experience" is more along the lines of Melissa Click. You remember the Social Justice Warrior Mizzou Professor whose rant during a Black Lives Matter protest went viral, particularly when she called for "muscle" to help her remove a student journalist.

Let's be clear. What happened at UC Berkeley on Wednesday night has nothing to do with Milo Yiannopoulos. It is part of a much larger problem on American college campuses which has been brewing for years. Left wing radicals, some of whom even have criminal pasts, are frequently welcome to speak on college campuses. Conservatives are not and are often shouted down if not protested.

Conservative activist and Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak at University of California - Berkeley on Wednesday evening. However, his event was cancelled and massive protests and violent demonstrations broke out on campus instead.
The Breitbart News editor [Milo Yiannopoulos] was set to deliver a speech inside a UC Berkeley campus building but hundreds of protesters began throwing fireworks and pulling down the metal barricades police set up to keep people from rushing into the building. Windows were smashed and fires were set outside the building as masked protesters stormed it.
