    I think the Times nailed it with the line, "He is basking in the energy created by turning one American against another, hoping hatred will propel him to the Republican nomination." Of course, what the writers ignored is the unyielding willingness...indeed, one can even say the eagerness...of Trump's followers to jump on the bandwagon of hate. Perhaps they're saving that for another editorial column.

    The other key aspect ignored by the Times is that it's a safe bet that incitement is destined to play a big part in Trump's presidential campaign, assuming he gets the Republican nomination. After all, if he's this willing to exhort acts of violence just to get the nomination, does anyone honestly expect him to behave more civilly when he's seeking office? Highly doubtful, at best.

    I do not wish to see harm come to any American...and that applies equally to those on both the right and the left...but the signs are not encouraging. And if the violent tactics employed by Trump supporters do ramp up as expected, let it be noted...as the Times has...that the responsibility falls squarely on Donald Trump. For it is he, and he alone among the candidates, who has cheered on and incited the mob. It also needs to be said that the blood of your fellow Americans will not only be on Trump's hands, but on the hands of all those who support him, and by doing so, give their tacit approval for such depravity.

    Hades is gleeful with anticipation.

    Who wants to taste the fire?

    Tell me, what are these organized "protesters" holding and yelling at the Chicago Trump rally?

    [video=youtube;S3EK9nqq5ds]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3EK9nqq5ds[/video]

    Its not Trump inciting violence, its the "progressives". And in the past 2 years, who has ambushed and killed more cops, burnt more buildings, and rioted - Trump supporters or "progressives" in the form of BLM etc?

    Go home, progs incite more violence than conservatives. progs are all about shutting up people through intimidation and violence.

    Let me know when Trump calls for "Dead cops now!" Then you may have a case. The problem is liberal progressive activists have raised the bar as to what is except able to say or not say when it comes to violence. Calling for dead cops now is the baseline because I did not see any lefties getting upset about that. The recent hand wringing over Trump's comments is just politics. With Super Tuesday near, the political rhetoric is right on time. Carry on.

    Was there any violence in that clip?

    If so, I must have missed it.

    But this is the type of incidents most people think of when they discuss Trump and his supporters:

    According to the FBI's most recent data white men kill more cops than any other group.

    it doesn't intimate whether these are typically Bernie style quiet, peaceful folks or clueless, angry, moronic, armed Trump-alikes so who would really know, eh.

    Liberal fascists learn from their Islamic terrorist brethren who commit acts of terror and then turn around and blame the victim for their actions and for retaliating.

    Here is a hint: don't send thugs to disrupt Trump's events and there will be zero violence.

    Im seeing a pattern here. Leftists call us the racists yet they are the only one continually pointing out skin color, now they claim the Trump campaign is a license to violence yet ignore the fact that they are the ones that continually are the violent ones.

    It's not just Trump rallies. Look at what's going on our college campuses. Leftist lowlife scumbags are engaging in brownshirt tactics on campus every single day. If there is ever a speaker invited to campus whom they do not like they will go the speaking venue and physically prevent that speaker and the people who want to listen to him/her from entering. They do not believe in free speech at all. This is a FACT. It happens every single day and normal people are getting very, very tired of these leftist thugs engaging in this type of behavior. The PC bullcrap in this country is reaching a tipping point. Normal people are fed up. Social justice warriors will no longer be allowed to go unchallenged. Trump has given voice to this anger and the loony toons left does not like it so they come to his rallies to engage in their aggressive, hostile, intimidating behavior in the hopes thatthe mainstream media will paint it as Trumps supporters causing trouble, which they have.

    F---that! We will nto allow them to get away with it. The American people, the majority of them that aren't pure leftist scum, are watching and they are being driven straight into the arms of Donal Trump.

    Here's a hint for you, yelling at a rally doesn't give legal precedence to sucker punch someone as they are being escorted out. Seems some Trump supporters feel they have the right to assault someone when they are speaking ill of their lord and savior Trump.

    Nasty obnoxious uber-liberal brownshirts disrupting political events attended by tens of thousands of hard working peaceful americans and depriving their fellow citizens of their freedom of speech and assembly absolutely deserve to be punched in the face. The legality of the punch is a different matter, but making martyrs or freedom fighters of this rioting piece of sh*t is beyond absurd, they are professional agitators and provocateurs.

    Again, the law disagrees with you and only proves that some Trump supporters are nothing but violent thugs and that Trump is the ringleader inciting violence. Luckily more and more people are going to see just what brown shirt thugs many Trump supporters are.

    Protesting at a rally is not denying someone free speech. I think you need to look at the constitution on that one. I'm not saying it is LEGAL for them to be at the event and they can be arrested for protesting, but NO they can't legally be punched and I hope every brown shirt thug Trump supporter is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for assault when they do assault a protester.

    That you've missed the uber-leftist/radical islam alliance is not my fault, comrade. It's real, it's been in existence for quite a long time, it's not based on common principles but on the common enemy - the US, Israel, the West

    Again with the demonization of the left for DARING to not think ALL Muslims are terrorists.

    /sarcasm on

    Damn the left for that archaic thought that not all Muslims are evil, instead we need to believe ALL Muslims are terrorists that deserve to die and be deported from this country regardless if they haven't done anything. Muslims are to be feared, persecuted, and made to feel like they are un-American here in the U.S.

    /sarcasm off

    The fear mongering from many on the right in regards to Muslims (especially in the U.S. ) is astounding and pathetic.

    Again, much to your dismay I am not talking about the law which will take care of itself and punish those who are guilty. I am talking about the fact that Trump rallies are routinely invaded by gangs of professional radical leftist saboteurs and agitators acting just like Nazi brownshirts, deliberately trying to deny tens of thousands of their fellow citizens the right of free speech. Yes, disrupting rallies and rioting IS in fact denying free speech.

    PS When a 78 year old man beats up a thug on the street you probably applaud. When a 78 year old man snaps and punches a criminal thug at a political rally you are desperately trying to paint the entire rally as a bunch of violent racists. This lame nonsense is not fooling anyone. Your defense of this violent scum is noted though, so are your pathetic attempts to point finger elsewhere.

    The sources I provided speak about the progressive left being in bed with radical islam. That "all muslims are terrorists" are your words, not mine.

    So when they are leaving...on their way out...making an exit...taking their leave...heading out the door...vacating the premises...some nitwit has the right to attack them??? Are you for real? These people are protesting IDIOCRACY and the hateful rhetoric that should not be defining this country or our elections.

    Nope it is not denying free speech in theory or BY THE LAW. You lose on both accounts there.

    Nope I don't applaud ANY assaults for someone that is only talking and not physically attacking a person. See, I believe in free speech which INCLUDES speech that I don't like and don't agree with. You think I liked trying to watch a show outside in Las Vegas when I was on vacation with some loud mouth bible thumper yelling that everyone was going to hell? Did I have the right to beat up that Christian? I bet you would have called that denying the guy his freedom of religion.

    It's funny how many Trump supporters talk about free speech, yet support a man who doesn't believe in free speech and even wants to be able to bring charges to journalist that HE deems are lying all the while giving a pass to those which he agrees with. Trump also believes in assaulted anyone that DARES to speak against him at a rally. Really pathetic and the only one against free speech is Trump and many of his supporters. Those type of Trump supporters are the REAL brown shirts. Dare say something bad about Trump and we'll punch you. Pathetic and luckily people will see these Trump thugs for what they are and the majority of the country will reject Trump even for Sanders or Clinton.

    Translation: Bernie supporter violence is someone elses fault. It's the liberal way.

    Chicago Cop: Anti-Trump Mob More Aggressive and Destructive than Reported

    BTW: The diversity in the Trump crowd counters all the lies spread by libs, the democrats and even the GOP like saying he denigrates veterans. They are so afraid of losing power.

    Yeah that's why Trump is wanting to punish ALL Muslims by not allowing them entry into the U.S. Sorry but yes, Trump supports anti-Muslim sentiment.

    The other articles are nothing but worthless hit pieces with no substance in them whatsoever.

    LOL do you realize that all these responses betray your recognition that Trump rallies are invaded by gangs of leftists thugs, provocateurs and agitators, deliberately trying to deny tens of thousands of peaceful americans their constitutional freedom. You are not even trying to deny that, you are reduced to bleating non-stop about one (out to tens of thousands)78 year old man who snapped when provoked by fascist leftist thugs, punched one of them and is being prosecuted according to law.

    Don't you see how pathetic and obvious your attempts to divert attention from real rioting scum are?

    Go blow your dog whistles elsewhere. Since when does protesting in the USA equate to criminal activity and the condoning of physical violence??? Heir Trump has made it possible for authoritarian lovers and BIRTHERS to crawl out from under their rocks.
