Brooklyn, NY – Beastie Boys’ Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz called graffiti found on playground equipment in New York City named for his late band member “home grown terrorism.”

Horovitz joined hundreds of others at a protest Sunday morning, a day after a swastika and the words “Go Trump!” were spray-painted on the equipment.
Horovitz blasted Republican President-elect Donald Trump at the rally.
“I reject Donald Trump’s vision for America,” he said, according to PIX11 News. “New York City, I’m asking you to do the same.”
Some people held up signs with Beastie Boys-inspired slogans like “We Gotta Fight for Our Rights,” according to Rolling Stone.
The Brooklyn playground is named for late Beastie Boys’ member Adam “MCA” Yauch, who was Jewish. He died of cancer in 2012. The playground was dedicated a year later.
Photos on Saturday showed the swastika and words were spray-painted on playground equipment. The graffiti has since been removed.
The vandalism was one of several recent instances of the Nazi symbol being found around New York and in other parts of the country.
Took them three attempts to draw a swastika. Probably a three year old brain damaged kid.
Its amazing that when a muslim commits an act of terror the liberals are busy saying lets not jump to conclusions, lets see if it was a loner or it had tie to terrorists etc… But in this case we right away assume it was a white trumpiot and not an impersonator etc…
99% that was done by a Democrat, to try to paint Trump supporters as racist. This would not be the first time.
These ugly symbols of hate have appeared in many places over the years. Are these the only ones worthy of a protest? Oh. It’s mentions Trump. Now I understand.
Where was the Mayor? was he out playing golf with Obama?
It’s beyond a partisan issue.
Last night at the Alt-Rt convention Steve Bannon’s buddy Richard Spencer’s after-dinner speech began with a polemic against the “mainstream media” – pausing he asked “Perhaps we should refer to them in the original German?” he said.
The audience immediately screamed back, “Lügenpresse,” using a Nazi-era word that means “lying press.”
Speaking of “Jewish interests” opposed to Trump he mused “One wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golem.”.
Living and breathing neo-Nazi white supremacists are literally within the inner sanctum of the White House.
What is happening here today really is unprecedented…fringe extremists on the inside of power…as if you could imagine active fringe leftists…SDS Weathermen, SWP or Communist Party members… appointed to White House staff positions by a Democrat, supported by “Party” newspapers and conventions.
According to a number of respected political analysts, if not a momentary blip in American political history, this really could represent the beginning of something ominous. No more blind faith that it can’t happen here.
WAKE UP
This is for Spence defenders, such as TrumpIzPrez” – more on Spence’s speech yesterday
“…He railed against Jews and, with a smile, quoted Nazi propaganda in the original German. America, he said, belonged to white people, whom he called the “children of the sun,” a race of conquerors and creators who had been marginalized but now, in the era of President-elect Donald J. Trump, were “awakening to their own identity.”
“As he finished, several audience members had their arms outstretched in a Nazi salute. When Mr. Spencer, or perhaps another person standing near him at the front of the room — it was not clear who — shouted, “Heil the people! Heil victory,” the room shouted it back.”
For Hashem’s sake….WAKE UP. This has nothing to do with partisan politics or with Hillary. It’s about neo-Nazis cuddling up to a President elect who has yet to disown them.
Response to6 & 7.
You are talking about a speach not given by PEOTUS or anybody that works for him.
In your attempt to create hysteria you are misleading people.
Your efforts are highly disingenuous.
