THE EVIL PARTY

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and Democrats and their allies in the news media gotta foment race hatred for political gain.

The St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, has been wracked by violence since Aug. 9, when Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, shot Michael Brown, 18, who was black.

A mob sought "justice for Mike Brown" by looting area businesses.

Many journalists accepted as Gospel the account of the shooting by Mr. Brown’s accomplice in a convenience store robbery shortly before it.

"The rush to condemn Wilson’s conduct and the gallop to martyr Brown may have set land-speed records," said Jonah Goldberg of National Review.

Mr. Brown had his hands up, was moving away from Officer Wilson when he was shot, said Dorian Johnson, 22.

Race hustlers flocked to Ferguson, confident their rants would appear on the evening news. After death threats were made against Officer Wilson, CNN broadcast the location of his home.

During a broadcast Aug. 26, MSNBC talk show host Chris Matthews strategized with Democrats about how they could use the shooting to goose black turnout in the midterm elections.

Mr. Johnson told a different story to the grand jury, a St. Louis radio station reported Aug. 19. An autopsy performed at the request of Mr. Brown’s family contradicted his assertion Mr. Brown was shot in the back.

The depiction of Michael Brown as a "gentle giant" (he was 6’4," weighed 292 lbs) took a hit when police released a video of him bullying an employee in the store from which he stole a $48.99 box of Swisher Sweet cigars.

His sources in law enforcement told him the "gentle giant" had ties to the Crips street gang, a juvenile arrest record which includes a charge of second degree murder, said GotNews Editor Charles Johnson, who has filed a lawsuit to obtain release of Mr. Brown’s juvenile record.

Despite these revelations, prominent Democrats and many journalists clung to the narrative Michael Brown was shot in cold blood. The inquest had just begun when Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon all but demanded Officer Wilson be indicted. Attorney General Eric Holder expressed sympathy for the protesters, opened a civil rights investigation of the Ferguson police department.

Now the narrative has been torched by leaks from the grand jury.

The official autopsy, published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oct. 22, indicates Mr. Brown was shot at extremely close range, didn’t have his hands raised. He may have been reaching for Officer Wilson’s gun, said experts consulted by the newspaper. The autopsy found material "consistent with products that are discharged from the barrel of a firearm" in a wound on Mr. Brown’s thumb.

"Jack Dunphy," the nom de plume of a police officer in Los Angeles, explains:

"According to the source cited in the Post-Dispatch, Officer Wilson told of struggling with Brown inside the Chevrolet Tahoe that Wilson was driving, and of firing two shots from his pistol. One of those shots struck Brown in the arm. Brown then ran a short distance from the SUV but then turned around and advanced on Officer Wilson, who had begun to give chase. Fearing that Brown would overpower him and take his weapon, Wilson fired more shots, killing Brown."

Other physical evidence also supports Officer Wilson’s account of the shooting, reported the Washington Post the next day. So does the testimony of "seven or eight African-American eyewitnesses."

"None have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety," the Post’s sources said.  Ponder that. These black residents of Ferguson won’t say what they saw in public for fear of a mob comprised mostly of outsiders, a mob feted by prominent Democrats and much of the national news media.

Violent crime is mostly intra-racial. In 2011, 83 percent of white homicide victims were murdered by other whites, 91 percent of black victims were killed by other blacks, according to FBI data.

White on black violence is rare. Blacks are 25 to 39 times more like to commit violent crimes against whites than vice versa, according to various studies.

When violence is black on black, Democrats and the news media pay little attention; even less when it is black on white. They paint a misleading – and incendiary – portrait of violence in America. And they do it on purpose.

The Ferguson grand jury will conclude its investigation soon. Evidence was leaked so it won’t be a surprise if no charges are filed against Officer Wilson. Authorities expect violence when a formal announcement is made, because the mob doesn’t care what the truth is.

They will be violent not out of devotion to Michael Brown or any legitimate cause that might have arisen from his death, but because they enjoy it and because they believe they can get away with it," Jack Dunphy said. "May they learn otherwise."

Democrats won’t. Women, Hispanics and Millenials have soured on them, polls indicate, so they play the race card with a vengeance.

"If you want to prevent another Ferguson…vote Democrat," said the Georgia Democratic Party in a mailing to African Americans.

A mailing to blacks in North Carolina features a photo of a lynching. An ad by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s PAC falsely and preposterously links Sen. Kay Hagan’s GOP opponent to the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida.

An official in the administration of New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio said the GOP candidate for governor reminds her of "Bull" Connor, the Commissioner of Public Safety in Birmingham, Alabama who turned water hoses on civil rights protesters in the 1960s.  Bull Connor was, of course, a Democrat – and in fact a member of the Democrat National Committee.

This isn’t just desperate, dishonest and despicable. It’s evil. Democrats in this election cycle have fully lived up to their reputation of being The Evil Party.
