A man holding a Trump sign is interviewed and, as he speaks, someone creeps up and calmly rips the Trump sign in half.

On Twitter, much tittering.

It does sound like it.

The hard left is the most anti-Semitic force in the world right now except ISIS. And Iran, of course, your hero's allies.; 3/12/16, 6:44 PM
tim in vermont said...: Amanda's right, Sanders didn't "blame Trump" He just explained that it happened because Trump caused it.; 3/12/16, 6:44 PM
Bob Ellison said...: Michael, I give a shit because the actions you describe connote extreme cynicism, which I tend to associate with lying. Why would you give money out like that? I don't understand why anyone would do that. Trump, at least, Trump says who and what for; he says he gives money as bribes, pretty much, and they have to give back to him for that.

Why do you do it?; 3/12/16, 6:46 PM
Anonymous said...: There was violence from Trump rally goers directed toward protestors in almost every single rally. Even protestors who stood silently holding up a sign were roughed up, while Trump encouraged this behavior, bellowing from the podium, "Get 'em out!" Violence at Trump rallies didn't start with Chicago, I'm sure everyone knows that.; 3/12/16, 6:48 PM

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: It does sound like it.

Is your hearing going, too? Along with your mind?

The hard left is the most anti-Semitic force in the world right now except ISIS.

Who is the "hard left", you Boss Tweed Reagan Democrat? I say what I want to say and I don't care who else says squat. Are you a "hard right" Nazi, like David Duke (who supports Trump enthusiastically)?

And Iran, of course, your hero's allies.

I can't decipher what cogent thought might have lurked beneath this snippet of senility, let alone what it means. Suffice it to say, I'm on board with having less to do with the Middle East, letting Israel and it's buddies or frenemies sort out their own problems, and to stop condescending to everyone like they're the 51st American state of Arabia or like your popes did when they described Europe's Jews as their "responsibility".

Let Israel do its own thing and you can go ahead and stop elevating it as the nexus of Armageddon or civilization or whatever your pretend interest is in it. Some of us don't hate Israel or think it needs to be the center of all diplomacy but just a regular country with some intense concerns that it is handling well enough on its own without your concern trolling or the concern trolling of the Evangelicals whom you don't like anyway. At least their interest is sincere, though. You're just glomming on to it and using it as a poison pill to make up for whatever you're afraid to say to jihadists on your own.; 3/12/16, 6:54 PM

R&B can't tell the difference between high school students and political operatives. Do you really believe, R&B, that high school students using Trump's image at a game is the equivalent of a political cohort shutting down a political rally? You lack the ability to reason.; 3/12/16, 7:11 PM
Michael K said...: "Violence at Trump rallies didn't start with Chicago, I'm sure everyone knows that."

No, it started in Ferguson before Trump was even running.

"Are you a "hard right" Nazi, like David Duke (who supports Trump enthusiastically)? "

As Reagan used to say, "He may support me but that doesn't mean I support him." You are not smart enough to know the difference.

" You're just glomming on to it and using it as a poison pill to make up for whatever you're afraid to say to jihadists on your own."

No, you are , as usual, incoherent, Ritmo.; 3/12/16, 7:15 PM

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: I think the one who lacks the ability to reason is the ninny who thinks that young twenty-somethings are really all that much more mature than a bunch of high school kids at a basketball game, and who underscores the idiocy by calling them "political operatives" and a "political cohort". Are the kids holding up Trump's face not a "political cohort"? I guess you can indoctrinate and encourage and tolerate any behavior in someone young enough, is what you're saying. Supporters are "operatives" in the sense that Terry can go all McCarthy on them.

Try and be above this nonsense. You seem to get a kick out of what happened, in a perverse, masochistic sense.; 3/12/16, 7:18 PM
Anonymous said...: Trump just said the guy who rushed the stage in Akron was "ISIS related and not from this country". Rcocean on a different thread said the guy was an American actor named Tommy DiMassimo whose mother was a Democratic official of some sort. Huh??; 3/12/16, 7:20 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 3/12/16, 7:22 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Reagan made a dissuasive point, but at least it was a dismissal. Trump was more confused about what to do and seemed pretentiously befuddled by the idea of whether he wanted their support or not. And I realize that Nazis support you, Michael K. That wasn't the point, though.

As for the rest of it, don't worry about my incoherence. You're the one who thinks he's an honorary Israeli citizen, or something. You must have a more confused sense of identity than George Galloway.; 3/12/16, 7:23 PM

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: Yeah, Sanders used to be sort of a superannuated Alfred E Neuman of the dying Baby Boom but increasingly he's looking like just another Lefty fascist. Was just talking to my son as he walked around the U of W campus and was offered Bernie stickers twice during the course of the phone call. There's a kind of young person out there now who really, really would like to put on a brownshirt with a snazzy Sam Browne belt. Very strange.; 3/12/16, 8:11 PM

Again you demonstrate your inability to reason, R&B. An act that would justifiably provoke the Left-wing tantrum we saw in Chicago would be a group of Trump supporters using threats of violence to shut down an Clinton or Sanders rally. It wold not be a group of high school students hundreds of miles away pushing the limits of taste in a sporting event.
The thing about calling people fascists and nazis is that you are allowed to do anything to stop fascists and nazis. You are desperately searching for a Reichstag fire event, and theire is none.; 3/12/16, 8:11 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: Whatever, Terry. You go believe what you want to believe. Keep on believin'. Be a true believer. Trump is well known for his innocence. He's a very, very pure and sweet and innocent scholar and a gentleman. Prophetic and pure in his kindness.; 3/12/16, 8:30 PM

There will be bloodshed before this is through.

Fen said...: Amanda: As I've said numerous times now starting yesterday evening, I don't agree with shutting down anyone's speech. The solution to bad speech is more speech. I don't agree with anyone using violence or intimidation to shut down speech.

You are so full of shit. First you claim that violence is never the response to speech you hate. And in the very next sentence, you pretend this is different because Trump was asking for it:

Trump sets the tone for the violence that occurs at his rallies toward protestors. You think there'd be no pushback? What planet do you live on?

Pushback? That's even more bullshit. Here is what you and your fellow marxists play:

Trump: "We need to secure the border and enforce immigration law"

Amanda: "Trump is a bigot who hates latinos!"

Leftist Mob: "Kill Trump! Kill the Bigot! Kill Trump!"

Amanda: "I feel bad for Trump, but he was asking for it by making such hateful remarks"; 3/12/16, 8:46 PM

You are so confused. I'm not running for anything.

"As for the rest of it, don't worry about my incoherence. You're the one who thinks he's an honorary Israeli citizen, or something. You must have a more confused sense of identity than George Galloway."

No, I would like to visit Israel but that's about it. You, on the other hand, prefer Palestinians, who have an excellent economy if you count bomb making.; 3/12/16, 8:49 PM
sunsong said...: "We have a candidate for president of the United States who says of a protestor at one of his campaign events, “I’d like to punch him in the face.”
We have a candidate for president who says of protestors at his events, “I love the old days — you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.”
We have a candidate for president of the United States who told one of his audiences, “If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. OK? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees.” "

Michael K said...: Well, it has begun. This won't be the last death this year.

Robert King Bullock, aged 37, was a resident of Chicago’s Evanston suburb. According to Bullock’s friend, who also attended the Trump rally, Robert was an avid chef, and he recently obtained his Masters of Business Administration and planned to open a local restaurant.

This source spoke with CTN on the condition of anonymity, and asked to be referred to as “Terry.” He called for Bullock’s death to serve as a reminder to anti-Trump groups and the mainstream media.

“Rob was a black man, but he supported Trump because he got tired of Democrats saying his race was the thing holding him back,” Bullock’s friend told CTN.

It's a shame but Chicago will probably see a dozen or two dozen black men shot this weekend.; 3/12/16, 8:54 PM

And how do I do that, liar? Other than by preferring that the U.S. stop attempting its phony "peacemaking" diplomacy while you try to out-do your own Vatican in pretending to be the newest and best Jew of the world?

We get it, Michael K. You had a shitty upbringing and probably wish you were Jewish. Of course, you could always convert.

As I wrote, the Left has no authority to decide what is and what is not violent rhetoric.; 3/12/16, 9:28 PM
Lewis Wetzel said...: No doubt he was provoked by Trump-supporting high school students he had never heard of.
The man who attempted to rush the stage at Donald Trump's campaign event in Ohio on Saturday has a history of protesting events as he caused an uproar by standing on top of the American flag and is accused of burning the Confederate flag last year.
. . .
It appears as though Dimassimo is an avid supporter of Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on social media, as well as being active with the Black Lives Matter movement.

3/12/16, 9:04 PM

Beating the shit out of communists is always a good thing. Of course if the communist scum wants to avoid a beating they could stop infiltrating and inciting violence by intimidating those who have a first amendment right to hear Trump. The assholes are perfectly free to protest outside. Sanders and Clinton should tell their goons to behave themselves and govern themselves accordingly.; 3/12/16, 9:58 PM
jr565 said...: When the protesters don't disrupt the events there generally is no violence. So, perhaps it's the protesters bringing the violence?
I've seen some of the video. They are no just protesting. They are getting into people faces.

Trump always mentions that one of the guys that he threw out who he told his audience members to punch back was actually throwing punches and cursing at people. I don't Know if this is true. However, after watching the videos of this protest I wouldn't be surprised at all. On this video you see at least two protesters throwing punches. And one jumps on the podium and is wresting get with security. So was this protest who was kicked out just sitting there minding his business?
The protesters sound a lot like protesters who stand before the cops and start throwing bottles. Then when the cops ultimately start cracking heads complain about violent cops.
If you hadn't thrown bottles would your head be cracked open? Who then is responsible for the violence?; 3/12/16, 9:59 PM
sunsong said...: "
"This isn't complicated," Stevens told CNN. Donald Trump is running as George Wallace. He is almost doing with it more deliberateness than George Wallace did. Wallace at least pretended at times to be civil. What is remarkable about what Donald Trump is doing, he is sort of exalting, he is out there shouting and playing the thug and encouraging people to do that. He is inciting violence. Can you win a Republican primary this way? I sure hope not. I know you can't win a general election this way." "

Matt Sablan said...: My understanding of this -- and this is as someone who is not pro-Trump -- is as follows.

1. Trump supporters are going to hold a rally.
2. People declare, in public, that they will show up to shout down and attempt to chase off Donald Trump and his supporters.
3. Trump receives reports from the police, and I believe one officer was injured, and is told that the rally is potentially dangerous.
4. Trump calls off the rally.
5. The people who successfully executed the heckler's veto cheer, and then blame the man who called off the event and agreed to ratchet down the conversation so they would not feel the need to engage in violence as being "responsible." They tell him, "I hate when you make me hit you," basically.

I'm not pro-Trump. But, in this particular exchange, he actually seems like a rational, reasonable adult. He called off an event so that people would be safe. Remember: This is a big blow to his ego. Remember his posturing about not letting BLM force concessions out of him like they did Sanders? Well, they just successfully threatened and bullied him into doing what they wanted, but he put his ego aside to keep things from getting out of hand.

"Mr. Constitution" is not even eligible. The other R candidates took the bait and gave a huge windfall of votes to Trump. Imagine the other way around, where they totally condemn the Leftwing paid for mob.

This was a preview. When the EBT cards are shut off there will be armed guards at grocery stores, and armed citizen groups defending neighborhoods. The Fourth Turning is about to get into full swing, and Trump is the "grey champion"-- the catalyst for whatever comes next, whether the leftwing mob find the final solution for him or not.

You are so, so, so close to making the connection that (correctly) undermines your overall position. Let me help you: "Everyone is."; 3/13/16, 9:22 AM
Theranter said...: The LAT article on this is would be amusing if is wasn't so sad. An excerpt:
As an undocumented UIC graduate student, I feel unsafe knowing that Trump along with his followers will be at my university," organizer Jorge Mena wrote in an open letter to the school's administration. "We already face systemic violence but we’re increasingly becoming targets of attack by his followers on and off Trump’s campaign trail.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-trump-protesters-20160312-story.html

As unsafe as he would have been protesting in his native country? (doesn't say which country he is from, so I am speculating it wasn't safe to do so, and/or grad-level education isn't available---why else would one leave? If he is from the ME, as reportedly many of the protesters were, there are excellent grad level univ's, but free speech not so much...

Further, since he is an undoc, unless he is from big $ or the connected, getting here illegally (especially from the ME) would be far scarier in comparison to a bunch of generally peace-loving not-going-to-do-anything-to-jeopardize-their-jobs-nor family folks out to hear a speech. And too funny, in the LAT article that quotes him, they show a really old bony broad wearing a Trump tshirt as one of the "scary" people.

Sheesh, does UIC pump synthetic estrogen into their water supply? How else could a guy that presumably made it through a rough life from a totalitarian country that chanced a risky trip through armed border(s) become sissified so quickly?; 3/13/16, 9:42 AM

The Bernie sign was owned by the person who cut it in half. This was performance art, brought to you by a capitalist.

No Bernie supporters were robbed in the production of this art.

Michael K said...: "The GOP, for decades, pandered to the kind of people who support Trump instead of leading them toward a philosophy that works in a huge, diverse country like ours."

The essential Sunsong in full view. The GOP "pandered" by forgetting every campaign promise and join the left's parade of horribles.

How do you find your way to work or school every day ?; 3/13/16, 10:12 AM
Theranter said...: Michael K - if Sunsong is Dame Cleo Laine, she's 88. Decades of progressive indoctrination could account for her odd statements.; 3/13/16, 10:41 AM

Think. The promises ARE the pandering. The GOP, instead of being honest, told them what they wanted to hear and then, after the elections, continued doing what their donors want them to.; 3/13/16, 10:45 AM
Renee said...: I know of people who openly admit the main purpose of being at a Trump rally was not civil protest, but disruption here in Lowell. Jerks who think they are socialists. I made a mere critique of the situation and I was called a racist fool.

Trolls. Real live trolling. Not interested in discussion. They have no fear of any consequences for their behavior.; 3/13/16, 11:10 AM
Anonymous said...: "Amanda@6:03 PM -- You're as easy to troll as Chuck! If you think that I wasted two seconds searching through Chuck's random neural-firings you're kidding yourself. How gullible are you to think that there was any sincerity in my "apology" at 5:55 PM. All I did was send him on a wild goose chase through his own idiotic comments -- he even posted one! -- while I laughed my ass off. I almost feel guilty for reeling you two suckers in. Lulz."

Well Fabi, they call me a troll, but it seems you are the real troll. K in Colorado, take note.; 3/13/16, 11:42 AM
walter said...: Oh he sets the tone, he's a "political arsonist".
C'mon..it's not like he said "Argue With Neighbors, Get In Their Face".

I think going to candidate's rally to "protest" them is looking for trouble.
I'm surprised Trump supporters didn't "push back" harder in Chicago.; 3/13/16, 12:36 PM

bflat879 said...: After watching liberals operate for many years, they've accomplished their goal, they have a big question mark in front of Trumps name on the ballot in Ohio and Florida. It only takes a percentage to change the vote so, if there are people who won't vote for Trump because of this, they've accomplished their goal.

Now, if Trump gets a higher percentage of the vote than people figured, you can expect these to stop. It's going to be interesting to see how this works out. I'm feeling the former, no one likes conflict, however I'm really surprised Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich got on the blame Trump bandwagon.; 3/13/16, 5:24 PM
