Donald Trump’s Heated Words Were Destined to Stir Violence, Opponents Say

[eieio 1,594]

Where was this logic when people were getting beaten up by Trump supporters?

You have a couple of people out of possibly millions that actually did anything. 99.99% of Trump supporters are peace loving Americans. That .01% were those who were tempted to give the disrupters what they came there to accomplish.

You certainly love to generalize.

No generalizations in your post.

Really? Because it sounds like you're generalizing as well. 99.99%? That's quite a few people. Were you at every Trump rally and took a head count? Do you have a roster of every person with background check included?

The "few" that did something weren't denounced or even prosecuted. Even the ones who beat up a homeless guy were called "passionate".

You called the ones who protested animals, pretty broad generalization if you ask me, since not all of them were violent. Unless you were there with a clipboard...

I believe a simple google search could bring up instances of Trump supporters behaving badly which would significantly destroy that 99.9% estimate.

It's more than just some random guy throwing a sucker punch. But I guess some people don't want to think about it.

Of course not. It's the same reason why posters that make those type of statements refer to the protestors as "animals" that needed to be hunted down(no one was hurt) but the trump supporters that have actually beaten up people are known as "passionate".

Imagine if a bunch of violent Trump fans had disrupted a Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton event. They would be called fascists, and the condemnation would be global. Politicians across the world would issue statements expressing concern. When the same thing happens to a Trump rally, however, the reaction is strangely mute..

Still waiting for Sanders to disavow the endorsement of moveon.org. Have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time...

I'm guessing since perceived incitement is reason to crash rallies now, we should all go and crash each Louis Farrakhan speech.

Does moveon.org have a history of killing people here in the US? http://front.moveon.org/

I look at their site and funny enough, all I see is a group talking about equality and democracy. Unless the KKK's mission statement is the same thing, you can't compare the two.

As for crashing Louis Farrakhan, nobody is stopping you. Considering that he isn't no where near as powerful or even relevant as a person running for President, some folks might think you're wasting your time. But if you need some sandwiches for your adventure, I heard Val makes a mean one!

Why should someone disavow moveon.org?

Louis Farrakhan praises Donald Trump

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan praised Republican front-runner Donald Trump for refusing donations from Jewish groups.

Trump “is the only member who has stood in front of the Jewish community and said 'I don’t want your money,'” Farrakhan said in a sermon he delivered this week. “Any time a man can say to those who control the politics of America, ‘I don’t want your money,’ that means you can’t control me. And they can’t afford to give up control of the presidents of the United States.”

Wow, that's a new one even for you guys. To take yet another disgusting comment by Farrakhan and twist it in unimaginable ways.

Thinking ahead, I wonder the following: If Trump is the apparent nominee, and there's an attempt at the party convention to overturn that, will there be riots? (Cf. 1968 Dem convention)

If Trump does not win both Ohio and Florida, he will have less than 50% of the delegates and the voting goes to a second round. In the Second round the delegates are unbound and almost anything can happen. Here is a good article

Good observation. The Establishment will almost certainly move in to isolate Trump & Cruz, and might even try to pick someone about whom the people didn't get a say. If that happens, say hello to President Hillary.
