| LEFT TO RIGHT: Barbra Streisand, Teresa Heinz Kerry, Brad Friedman, Neal Rauhauser, George Soros |
Are you like
me? I had never heard of Brett Coleman Kimberlin
until a few days ago. Now, unless you
spend every moment under a rock, you know that the infamous Speedway Bomber is
part of a nexus of evil involving some heavyweights—George Soros of the Tides
Foundation, ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz Kerry, fading star Barbra Streisand,
libtard blogger Brad Friedman, Democrat activist Neal Rauhauser and Fidelity Investments.
Here’s the
backdrop:
Mark Tapscott
at The Washington Examiner writes, “The
First Amendment is under intense attack from many points on the ideological
compass, but mostly from the far Left.”
“The enemies
of free speech and thought have lately turned to more subtle tools of
suppression than merely shouting down speakers. Among these are extortionary
threats to launch false charges of racism against companies that support
politically incorrect groups, such as the American Legislative Exchange
Council.”
“But far more
sinister is the tactic adopted by Brett Kimberlin, an activist and the founder
of the group Velvet Revolution who was convicted in 1981 of exploding eight
bombs in 1978 in Speedway, Ind. One of his bombs blew off the leg of a man who
subsequently committed suicide.”
“Nowadays,
Kimberlin targets conservative bloggers like Aaron Worthing and Robert Stacy
McCain in Maryland, and Patrick Frey of Patterico's Pontifications in
California. Why? For publishing facts about Kimberlin's criminal record.”
“Kimberlin
harasses his targets by, among many other ways, filing false charges in courts
that require expensive, time-consuming litigation, disrupting his targets'
workplaces, and dropping dark hints about spouses and kids.”

of his piece here.
The less than
5’6” Kimberlin, so hungry for attention, finds himself in the searing, white-hot
spotlight of scrutiny.

John Hawkins
of Right Wing News interviewed one of Kimberlin’s targets, Robert Stacy
McCain. RSM has some interesting
thoughts on Kimberlin’s
future.
