#1 "Violence is the last refuge of the weak minded."
So, was it RINO's or ShilliaryDems that co-ordinated this? Either way, the only answer they have to the Donald.
It is sad!

#2 The Ghost of Bull Connor is deep in the opposition. Can't allow 'them' to have a free and peaceful right to assemble and have free speech. Their hate is deep and Freudian Projection.

Dear Ted, if you really believe in the Constitution, those First Amendment rights apply all around. Watching the going on's at that Selma bridge and saying the peaceful demonstrators 'bear responsibility for encouraging it' doesn't wash.

#3  ‘We shut Trump down!’ Admitted terrorist Bill Ayers cheers on anti-Trump protesters in Chicago. As Monica Crowley tweets, “MoveOn, BLM, Socialists, remnants of Occupy Wall Street, Bill Ayers…Getting the band back together for 2016.”
How long before the bombs start going off?

#4 Need more popcorn for when the gunfire starts. I'd love to see say, BLM vs the Teamsters. Maybe it'll be on pay per view?

#5 Ted Cruz is the only republican alternative to Trump, isn't he?

#6 Ted Cruz hit The Donald on such violence, saying his campaign bears some responsibility for encouraging it.

So much for all that "I'm all about the Constitution!" stuff, eh Ted?

#7 Hitler and Mussolini used to disrupt their political’ opponents’ meetings and speeches, Hitler’s gangs with truncheons, Mussolini’s with castor oil which they forcibly fed to opposition leaders. These tactics had been honed by the Reds before the Revolution, and were exported for use by the Communists in various parts of Europe. To the best of my knowledge there have been no such operations by Trump’s followers, but apparently there are increasing numbers of protests at his meetings. While there have always been some roughhousing and scuffles in American politics, raiding each other’s gatherings has not been traditional, with some exceptions. More usual is getting yourself thrown out of someone else’s meetings, thus getting the publicity rather than the speaker. I expect to see a lot of that in the next few weeks, and a great deal more after the conventions.

And, of course, once Trump supporters retaliate---FBI, DHS, etc... will swing into action

#8 Were going to see more and more of this. MoveOn, BLM, Occupy, etc... are all organizations of the DNC. Soros may be bankrolling it but you can bet the DNC is providing the direction and organizational support. and the DNC keeps moving more and more radically left. They don't even try very hard to hide it anymore.

You wont see BLM vs the Teamsters - just as you wouldn't see the KKK vs the Black Panthers nearly as often as you might expect. They are simply different arms of the same organization. Carefully kept somewhat seperate so they can concentrate on their real enemy.

#9 This is just bad for both sides. Trump invites it with his inflammatory rhetoric, but BLM and other left wing grievance mongers play right into it.

This is a dumpster fire, and as Trump gets closer to the nomination, its only going to get worse.

Wait until Hillary gets indicted and it become Bernie's Socialists running on the D side. Obama's mentor Ayers the Terrorist will be queuing them up.

There goes free speech. Goons on one side beat up Goons on the other side, and sooner or later nobody can speak.

#10 Trump invites it with his inflammatory rhetoric

You mean like secure borders, Islam is not a friend of the West, the Chinese have manipulated the currency and trade market? Remember, acknowledging the concerns of the general population rather than the ruling caste is inflammatory. The minions might get excited and not remember their proper place.

#12 So your saying that Trump should 'go along to get along' and go along with open borders, Islamization, etc...

Just like the RNC establishment... After all it's worked so well so far....

#13 I don't like Trump. As far as I can tell he doesn't really stand for anything and I doubt he knows how to spell political philosophy.

HOWEVER, there comes a time when someone has to throw a hornets nest into the Hampton tea party and I think this is what he's doing.
I hoped Ted would do it first but, his last week or two have me worried.

I doubt that Trump, if elected, will be any worse than the Demonrats or Rinos and possibly a lot better. I'm holding out hope that Cruz wins and proves to be what he started out being. but who knows now.

#18 Protester rushed Trump today and grabbed him by the leg at Dayton, Ohio
I watched the end of this event on live streaming. As Trump made his way to his plane he was ringed by 2 layers of security men, all looking outward. Somehow there was still a little interaction between Trump and the crowd.

Are you sure it's not "would react," #14 GS? >:-(

#20 The idiots and ruling class (I know I'm being redundant, the Venn Diagram overlaps a lot) can't fathom that 'taking him out' might just be the match that lights the fire. Keep up the rhetoric calling him a fascist, a Hitler, et al. It's all rationalization in lying to oneself to signal your 'virtue' when such an event occurs.

#21 Did somebody mention Bill Ayers?


Seems the old Bolshevik showed up at a protest against Trump yesterday in Chicago. You know that Trump is onto something when vermin like this come out of the wood work.

#22 I would not be torn if T gets elected and allows Chicago to be part of Canada.

#23 Ah, well, I remember heckling Hubert Humphrey when he campaigned for president in San Diego back in 1968. He never would have made it to the general election if Bobby Kennedy hadn't been shot in June of '68 in LA and then he went down to defeat at the hands of Richard Nixon. Old Hubie, of course, was tainted by his association with Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam War. The way I saw it, that mess had been going on way too long by then and I had no desire to participate. Apart from that, I took a rather dim view of the Great Society. Guns and butter, surtaxes and deficit spending...even in high school that didn't seem right. Hubie spoke at a rally outside the downtown Community Concourse and I stood with some pals at the fringe of a crowd that was gathered to hear him. I made a few snide remarks, might have even booed him, but threw no punches. Nobody paid me or organized me. I just didn't like the guy and Nixon promised peace. Fun times...not.

#24 PS

Hubie, that Happy Warrior, smiled and seem good natured about it. He made some remark about "those protesters". He did not call for us to be removed. I don't think there were enough of us to bother him. Not like earlier that summer in Chicago.

#25 In 1944, Humphrey was one of the key players in the merger of the Democratic and Farmer-Labor parties of Minnesota to form the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL). The same year, he worked on incumbent President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's reelection campaign in the 1944 presidential election. When in 1945, Minnesota Communists tried to seize control of the new party, Humphrey became an engaged anti-Communist and led the successful fight to oust the Communists from the DFL. - wiki

Yep, they got their revenge in '68.

#29 Dayton protester who tried to grab Trump had ties to Islamic State.

Three protesters, young men, in the Chicago venue wore t-shirts with the words "I am Muslim".
