The Democratic Party has a fascist strain in it. Theirs is a party that seeks to silence and
disenfranchise people who dissent from their political orthodoxy. Rhode Island’s Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has
more than once called upon federal bureaucrats to use its power to squash their
opponents.
A couple of years ago, Senator Whitehouse, along with
other thugs in his party, proposed a constitutional amendment to curb political
speech Democrats disagree with. Two
years before that, he called upon the IRS to investigate Tea Party
organizations. Now, he is urging the Department
of Justice to persecute “climate change deniers.”
Sen. Sheldon
Whitehouse (D-R.I.) raised the issue, drawing a comparison between possible
civil action against climate change deniers and civil action that the Clinton
administration pursued against the tobacco industry for claiming that the
science behind the dangers of tobacco was unsettled.
“The similarities between the mischief of the tobacco industry pretending that the science of tobacco’s dangers was unsettled and the fossil fuel industry pretending that the science of carbon emissions’ dangers is unsettled has been remarked on widely, particularly by those who study the climate denial apparatus that the fossil fuel industry has erected,” Whitehouse said.
“Under President Clinton, the Department of Justice brought and won a civil RICO action against the tobacco industry for its fraud. Under President Obama, the Department of Justice has done nothing so far about the climate denial scheme,” Whitehouse added.

So if people disagree
with the Democratic Party’s sanctioned scientists, they could face RICO
charges? Way to stay true to your fascistic
ideals, Senator Whitehouse.
