BTW.....for those whose appetite for the crap-ola being spouted this primary season is not yet satiated....

CNN will air a 3 hour Town Hall tomorrow (Monday) with all 5 of our favorite folk (yep, you know the ones).

A gorge-fest for political bulimics (me)

What is interesting is the latest false flag operation by the Left. One "protester" showed up at a Trump rally carrying a Confederate flag. Another was wearing a KKK uniform. He was beaten, thrown to the ground and stomped on by a black Trump supporter. That was clearly an operation by the Left trying to smear Trump's people by showing up with racist regalia. In intelligence circles it is referred to as a "false flag" operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX5CuPWbMCY

I oppose Trump for a different reason: he's tearing up the Party I love and have considered myself as a member of my whole life.

Wearing racist regalia is not against the law. That should not have caused these people to be beaten up. Trump should have told his supporters that beating up protesters is not what democracy is about but instead his words were clearly meant to support the abuse even offering to pay any legal expenses for the 78 year old white male supporter who gut punched a black protester.

By his clearly unprofessional and un-presidential behaviour Trump has brought these troubles upon himself.

The GOP needs to give itself an enema. It's attracted too many of the wrong kind over the past decade

...
I too am generally opposed to disruptive protests, and dislike the tactics BLM used against Bernie. I also found 'Occupy Wall St' to be annoying (when they actually prevented people from getting to work, conduct business, etc), and I don't mind if the cops haul them off in cuffs. I would further say that 'disruptive' protests are indeed employed more by 'the left' than 'the right', but I think that's more a simple symptom of the fact that 'the left' has a good deal more young folk on their side, and there's a certain sense of desperation in the fact that they are otherwise powerless to make their voices heard.

I think disruptive protests were necessary during the 60's Civil Rights period, for example, since the Blacks (and their liberal allies) had to do something to draw attention to the appalling state of affairs in the south at the time. BLM is similarly not without some justification for their actions, given that they have almost no voice, no place at the table.

If people want to raise a commotion at a 'rally', and then maybe after 5 or 10 minutes are told they will be forcibly removed if they don't shut up, then that's fine with me. But to physically abuse the protesters, in the manner caught on video, AFTER they had stopped protesting and were being removed, is simply bad behavior and doesn't help Trump's cause. And he should, without any doubt, condemn the behavior clearly demonstrated; but instead he responded in a manner likely to inspire more such behavior.
