Donald Trump Rally In Chicago Canceled After Protesters Turn Out In Droves

Mike..............agreed, but its absolutely blowing my mind, and it amazes me beyond belief that you don't see it through that same prism with the people that show up at Trumps rallies to either silently protest (by holding signs that show their displeasure) or ask him questions that the crowds don't like.

If you dared to go to a Trump rally, and ask Donald a question or have a sign that didn't sit well with his many supporters your sure to be either beaten up or thrown out.........please tell me how that's a good example of free speech or free right to assemble?

Look, lets really be honest here, in almost every case where someone was thrown out of a Trump rally, it wasn't because they were being extremely obnoxious & interrupted Donald to the point that he couldn't speak.

In almost every case it was a person sitting there silently with a sticker on their blouse (like in the case of the Muslim woman that wanted to show that she wasn't afraid to attend the rally) to the case where there were a couple of guys simply holding a sign that read" "America is already great" and they got completely trounced for it.

They weren't saying a word when it happened, and they were shocked to see how angry people behaved over such a harmless sign.

This is the pattern we see over & over again, its a double standard and its mind bending for me that all of you that constantly defend Donald or his supporters don't see it.

I mean come on man lets be fair here.

All Donald has to do is say "get him out of here" and the freaking crowd goes NUTS!!!!

But "the guy" hasn't done anything that deserves to be ejected.

And the only thing the person may have done is to simply be there. People by their very "presence" are being thrown out of Trumps rallies yet he's managed to spin it like their all a bunch of violent thugs that have stormed in uninvited that were filled with hate looking for trouble.

Here we have a situation in Chicago where (people of all color) turned out and basically said.............."enough".

Do I blame them, absolutely not because Donald is the person that has created these tensions & this environment.

I can't possibly make my position anymore clear on this guy, seriously.............

 

When Trump sends paid goons to Bernie and Hillary events to disrupt them, I may concede you have a point. In the meantime, I'm still waiting for that to actually happen.

 

SETH BULLOCK FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly, Exactly, Exactly, Exactly........................

Jesus Christ why is it so hard for everybody else to understand what you just said.

Thanks Seth, seriously, thanks...................

 

If you can't make your position any more clear, than I'll just have to accept at face value that you think going to some other campaign rally with the purpose of disrupting it is perfectly legitimate. The only reason I can see to do that is to purposefully trying to create some sort of incident.

I'm astounded in an era in which Godwin's Law has been repealed and virtually every commentator on TV has made some sort of Trump =Nazi comparision, that it's YOU guys who are the brownshirts. You guys are the ones trying to intimidate your political opponents. You guys are the ones trying to shut them up and shut them down.

And that's what you condone.

 

That's just a demonstration that Republicans are too cowardly to make a noise unless they vastly outnumber the opposition. Sheeplike behavior isn't something to brag about.

Given how Trump is the instigator of all that, is it too much to ask you stop being his loyal footsoldier? Just stop projecting your adoration of thug tactics on to us. At a minimum, at least stop demanding liberals just roll over and accept their beatings. We're going to keep defending ourselves against your thuggery, no matter how much you complain how unfair that is.

I'd also suggest a couple of you learn what the first amendment is. Was the government involved here? No? Then it has nothing to do with the first amendment.

 

Cause and effect. Trump's rhetoric has caused a negative effect that being the protesters. I do not like protests that seek to impede upon free speech nor do I like a politician who advocates violence towards protesters. I see Trump as the architect of the chaos and as such I see Trump as the one who can defuse the chaos. Presidential candidates should not endorse violence towards protesters as endorsing assault is immoral by my measure of morality.

 

Nobody said Trump couldn't talk. You're just upset at the thought of people talking back, of free speech going both ways. Hence, you would appear to the free speech squasher here.

 

Ha! Well seriously, SC, it's a no-brainer! How do you get mad? Huh? How?

Maybe if I didn't look at her I could think about the issues ....

... Ah forget it. I'd look.

She'd be interviewing me on TV, asking for a response, and I'd just be like .... huh? what?

 

It was only a matter of time before the same people who have been imposing regime changes and civil wars in other countries for their self serving interests, began doing it here as well.

 

So you'll sit there and act like those were just "peaceful, innocent protesters"? No. You don't get that free pass. They were acting just as rowdy and violent and were just as responsible as the trump supporters for what happened.

As for Trump supporting and even encouraging his supporters to fight back against the liberal bull(*)(*)(*)(*) machine. That's just one more thing to add to my list of things I like about the man. He is sick and tired of the liberal asshats trying to push everyone who won't confirm to thier will. He is willing to fight against them and doesn't try and hide it and he encourages his people to do so as well. I like it.

 

But what if the protesters have been organized by certain groups to deliberately cause disruptions? I mean the American government has used the CIA and NGO's to arouse protesters, and has even paid them so it can remove foreign governments not favorable to them. If these same government powers felt Trump's policies were not in their interest, then why wouldn't they do it here as well?

 

I must admit that's an astounding statement. Republicans are cowardly because they are not going to a Bernie or Hillary rally and exhibiting thug like behavior. With apologizes to Senator Moynihan, you are really defining deviancy down.

 

Absurd.

 

Okay...so we need to deal with unlikely possibility instead of reality?

I suppose then there would be no point in discussing what happened at all, lets simply ignore it and go on hating.....woo hoo.

As neither HillBill or The burn are inciting the American population with diatribe....I would not expect protests.

 

Wrong. The goal of the protests is to silence Trump. The protesters are not marching quietly with signs in a picket line.

 

Oh I'll be glad to discuss what's happening. "Burn" and "Hillbill" have supporters that are threatening violence and intimidation at Trump rallies.

What's not happening is the reverse. That is the "unlikely possibility."

 

Those Bernie supporters and their Hitler salutes.



Just as well Trumpster Jr is on their case, when he's not in Africa slaughtering endangered animals, of course:

Your the best Seth...........

 

Watched today's rally on CNN, with his plane in the background The man is a god. He plays the crowd like a Stradivarius.

 

Cool....please discuss what is happening, starting with what they are doing to get their followers agitated. Then you can go on to show me the levels of hatred they instill for others....I'm sure you can manage that.

 

In other words, you have no comprehension of the true purpose of a rally.

 

My how the tables have turned.........

Don't you see how you're doing the very same thing that you're accusing me of?

We're both basically saying that everything that goes down (on our side) is fine with us - yet it's ok for you, and it's not for me.

Once again we're back at this double standard that surrounds just about every contentious issue in this forum regardless of what it is.

You see the protesters at Trump's rally's as thugs, and you also see the people that have decided to stand up to him & his supporters as thugs, and as people that are stepping all over his right to free speech, and his supporters right to flex their muscles & exercise their right to whoop anybody's @$$ that doesn't' agree with them. (which is what they disgustingly do by the way)

Yet when a different group of people (who may very well have been on the receiving end of some of those blows & shoves in past Trump rally's) have decide that they have had enough of these Gestapo tactics, and act out & push back...................it's all "game over" for you & your lot.

In other words everything is fine & dandy as long as it's only Donald's supporters beating people up, and throwing protesters out of convention halls like they own the f*cking place - but any other group of people saying no, not in my city, not in my convention hall, you and your Nazi style of 1940 campaigning & rhetoric are not welcome here - and it's all magically unfair?

Please explain to me how your able to pull that rabbit out of your rear because I'm dying to know?

I'm dying to know why you, and so many others in here (not all) are so blind to all of these double standards.

Look, we can all yell at each other all day long here, and get nowhere, or you guys can simply say what I haven't read or seen yet......except from Seth.

"Honestly Donald Trump has been a bit toxic & contentious, and everything he's been saying could have been expressed much more intelligently which would have nullified all of this anger & violence in the first place"

I have yet to read anything from any of your ardent faithful that says something like:

"It's true that Trump's supporters have really gotten out of hand, and Donald himself hasn't helped to quell the situation"

"I can understand why these people got together in Chicago, and decided to take matters into their own hands"

If Donald were truly an intelligent man with everyone's best interest here he would come out with a speech to tell everybody that things have gotten way out of hand, and that he realizes he has a large portion of the responsibility to shoulder for it.

That won't happen, his supporters would crucify him if he did that, and I believe that somewhere deep down inside Donald is regretting this frame work that he has made because now he's stuck with it, and he can't fix it.

You don't like what happened in Chicago, fine - but expect a lot more of it to come unless Donald puts leashes on his dogs.....

 

You brought it up first, several times in several different threads. Don't kid yourself.

FYI, "white" people feel just as uncomfortable with the looks they often receive in "brown" neighborhoods, and we didn't have to wait for 9-11 to have that experience. Get over it.

 

If the do gooder impulse of the US affluent is to support the underdog, why is the middle class disappearing in the US, and most of the wealth concentrated in 62 people?

What about the Tweet to Bernie supporters to trash Trump's rally?

 

It's really a shame that the Left's hitman, George Sorryass, is a hero of theirs who funds demonstrations as in Chicago (as he also did OW), is so dishonest with his supposed non-profit hit group MoveOn.org which is anything but non-profit...I predict if a Rep gets in the presidency, they will be 'fairly' investigated and their days will be numbered as such!
