"Nowadays Salon publishes morally reprehensible full-throated defenses of the increasingly violent Black Lives Matter movement whose supporters now openly endorse murdering cops and waging 'war' against America..."

This is a great piece from Matthew Vadum, at FrontPage Magazine, "Salon: Mouthpiece of the Racist Left, One of America's Ugliest Opinion Forums":

Salon cheered on the rioters in Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., accepting as gospel the idea that blacks like Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin were murdered by racist white people running wild. Black violence is routinely dismissed at Salon because it doesn't fit the Left's narrative. Black people are always victims and white people are always evildoers.

David Palumbo-Liu is just one of many Salon writers who spends his time emulating Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Like Farrakhan, Palumbo-Liu seems to embrace genocide against whites.

After two hard-left Democratic presidential candidates were booed at a radical left-wing activists' convention for not toeing the Black Lives Matter line, Palumbo-Liu castigated the politicians for daring to assert that all lives, not just black lives, matter, accusing them of belonging to an evil "cult." He attacked "the disgraceful performances of Mike [sic; read Martin] O’Malley and Bernie Sanders at last week’s Netroots Nation (#NN15) event in Phoenix."

After Black Alliance for Just Immigration national coordinator Tia Oso and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors occupied the stage where O'Malley was speaking, Cullors said she had to intervene. "We are in a state of emergency. If you do not feel that emergency, then you are not human." De-humanizing opponents is a tactic of a genocidal, totalitarian movement, not of those legitimately advocating for civil rights.

To this political stunt worthy of the Third Reich's Sturmabteilung, O'Malley responded in a restrained and perfectly decent way. He said "of course" black lives matter, just as white lives and “all lives matter.”

Palumbo-Liu rejects this line of thinking because it deviates from the now fashionable leftist view that black lives matter more, much more, than the lives of everyone else. O'Malley's sin lay in "effectively erasing the specific ways black lives in particular are targeted by both structural and informal racist violence in all shapes and forms."
