The comments section is priceless. Sample:

The only obvious symbol missing from Trumps rambling rally last evening were Swastikas. They would have completed that vile spectacle perfectly.

I didn't want to register with the WaPoo to reply or I would have posted, "Maybe DemocRATS weren't admitted to the event."

My college aged daughter is a little lib. And she walked into my office last night with Trump on and commented, “Dad this is like the rise of Hitler you know. Just like Hitler followers you have no idea what the man stands for but you love the way he stands up for the white race.”

I told her, “I see you have been reading your looney tune websites. Get me a beer and then scoot.” My home is like a modern day All in the Family.

MSNBC had a pre-rally running comment about it’ll be lucky to get the stadium half-filled. While the folks are still coming in.

On the street, Olaf Childress, a neo-Confederate activist, gave out copies of “The First Freedom” newspaper, which had headlines about “Black-on-white crime,” “occupied media” and “censored details of the Holocaust.”

Any point to this paragraph being in the article? Other than making the implication that all republicans are racists?

That’s definitely the talking point. See my comment below yours. My daughter is a hippie robot who knows nothing about history (a biology major). And she’s now an expert on Hitler.

Great response. There's no talking sense into these people. If you wanted to, you could've pointed out that Hitler was closely aligned with the mooselimbs of his day just like a certain President of our time. But I doubt that would have registered.

BTW, do you call her boyfriend, "Meathead"?

And pray Donald Trump is everything these people hope he is!!!!
____________________________________________
Rush Limbaugh has seen a lot of politics in his time. On his show he has always expressed his optimism for America, despite what Obummer has and continues to do to the country. He said a while back that he did not know what it would be, but that the country would produce someone who would come along like Reagan did in the nick of time to pull the country out of the fire. I hope and pray that Trump is the no holds barred leader to raise us from the ash heap, the product of the current liberal/socialist firestorm destroying our country. Recognize that this battle is much larger than any individual political issue. It is a huge battle to take our country back from a mega international corrupt one-world government enterprise made up of international financiers, corrupt domestic and international corporate cronys, and our corrupt, rotten to the core, politicians who get rich while bleeding us and our country dry. When looking back and viewing Trump's sudden entry into this campaign, it suggests to me that this is what Rush was talking about - the hand of divine intervention is again at work to save this country. I believe the “unexplainable” response to Trump also suggests that God fearing people sense and feel this force in their souls. Do not get me wrong, I do not worship Trump, I give praise to the Almighty for sending him.

Her comments on Trump sound exactly like what Obama supporters thought of Obama in ‘08. People were fainting at his rallies and they thought that was great.

Of course, it is obligatory at WaPo.

Out of the >20,000 crowd, they finally found one iffy character. And I don’t see what’s wrong with those headlines in the newspaper handout, which their own news organization was guilty as charged.

Her response is more apropo to Obama ‘s reign......

Those folks in the picture’s response is an outpouring of frustration mixed with hope that Trump will knock Obama off his throne

Ignore the Media. They are nothing more than the Psychological Warfare arms of the Neo-Marxist Left a.k.a. the Democrat Party and the Chamber Of Amnesty & Cheap Labor a.k.a.the GOPe.

Trump has the skills and backbone to turn the corrupt Media’s fire back at them. The American people must do the same. Job Number One must be to hang tough and ignore and/or ridicule the Media at every opportunity.

-----------------

I sense that too. That is the real reason Donald Trump is received so well. He is, like in ancient times, a champion coming forth from the people to do battle for what is good and right. Like David facing Goliath, like Charles Martel rallying the French against the Moslem invasion, like George Washington leaving his wife and farm for eight years of war, like Winston Churchill called to leadership after the debacle of Dunkirk. In times of trouble, the Spirit moves, a brave man - often a flawed man, too - steps up and leads his people against the forces of darkness and evil, onto victory, glorious victory.

I haven’t seen a turnstile count or anything from Trump campaign.

Just the 35,000 reported by WaPo above, and 30,000 on CNN a half hour ago.

The WaPo report above of half the stadium was probably the first draft of the article.

Then later when in rewrite they knew it was more and reported 35,000, but didn’t get the earlier “half” fixed.

I know MSNBC was hoping the event would be a bust, but looks like WaPo tried to get it right.

I HOPE we do not lose Texas. Because that will be the death of America.

I am hopeful, however, that Texans—like the South in general—show the rest of the Country that we can still be a great nation. The Texan economy has been what has kept Obama’s Depression from becoming even worse. Most of the Country’s job creation is due to Texan industry and the Texan economy.

Still, people tend to kill the goose to get the golden eggs out faster, so we’ll see.

That’s why this election is so important, and Trump is speaking out to rally us when we really NEED to rally and defeat what America will become if we do not fight back.

The best possible example of what you're saying: Benjamin Franklin. A man with many personal flaws, but also a genius and a patriot. And he stepped up and was a hero for his country and his people.

I think Benjamin Netanyahu is also an example of this for his country. That's why they hate him so much - he's a strong man and a hero for Israel.

I will give your daughter one point. Hitler rose from the destructive aftermath of World War 1. The United States is suffering the destruction caused by Obama and his minions. One big difference is that World War 1 last only 4 years.

I think Hitler and Obama are more like-minded than any GOP candidate.

Hitler was for massive government control in every aspect of life. His government schools purpose was for him to expand his power. Gun ownership was outlawed. Any opposition was destroyed using the tools of government. If government tools were not enough, thugs would handle things. Yes, it sounds a lot like the last 8 years of Obama.

Hitler was not right wing. He is as left wing as you can get.

Ever wonder why liberals feel so comfortable talking with communists and dictators, but very uncomfortable talking about God and morality?
