Trump is absolutely right. It is time to take these fascists thugs on. No backing down. It is past time to straighten the country out. Down with fascists, commies, and all un-American bastards.

Thomas Dimassimo, the troublemaker who tried to get on the stage, is a Muslim ISIS sympathizer among other of his anti-American activities. A shocking new video has emerged of Tommy DiMassimo participating in ISIS propaganda videos, and possibly being a part of their anti-U.S. agenda.

I didn’t see one incident in Chicago where a Trump supporter just started throwing blows.

I saw on CNN in a loop for over two hours two white guys defending the flag while a crazed black thug rained punches on them. Exactly what the CNN Soros brigade thought that showing it would accomplish is puzzling.

He reminds me of someone I knew in Florida who was bi-polar. Very scary dude actually who was fine one minute and very agitated the next, for no apparent reason.

You’re dreaming but it’s no surprise. You think you are much more important than you are. Can’t give you the pats on the head that you need sorry.
Trump has never said that it’s ok to just out of the blue throw someone to the ground unprovoked and you know it.

So, you side with the Left wing thugs along with your Pied Piper, Raphael Cruz who can’t be trusted with the First Amendment? Run along now to your cave.

Where were the calls when these words were uttered?

They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun” – Barack Obama

“I want you to argue with them and get in their face!” – Barack Obama

“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!” – Barack Obama

“Hit Back Twice As Hard” – Barack Obama

“We talk to these folks… so I know who’s a** to kick“– Barack Obama

Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat” - – Barack Obama

“Punish your enemies.” - Barack Obama

“I’m itching for a fight.” – Barack Obama

____________________________________________________

We condemned Obama for making those statements, now Trump is praised for saying the same stuff.

“I’d like to punch him in the face,” Trump said, remarking that a man disrupting his rally was escorted out with a smile on his face. “He’s smiling, having a good time.”

Trump’s supporters are taking on the same spirit as their candidate. I show up here very garishly in the responses made.

Some are able to make an valid argument some just............

I've got some serious concerns about Trump's tendency to shoot from the lip.

On the one hand, it is true that he is saying things that need to be said. Political correctness and fear of offending have stifled conservative discourse in many quarters.

But once you take the gloves off, so to speak, things can go too far. When Trump speaks in a provocative way, his supporters cheer, but it does have the unintended consequence of lowering the tone of discourse to that of an argument in a gin mill.

His followers imitate it (I have seen personal insults, obscenities, and attacks directed at fellow FReepers like I have never seen in all my years here, just because they dare to criticize Trump or defend Cruz or Rubio), and his opponents then feel free to imitate it too. That is what Cruz said (not that it was "Trump's fault"), and he has a point.

Obviously, the leftist goons are *primarily* responsible for their own bad behavior. But Trump bears *some* responsibility for creating the climate that encourages it.

Those who are willing to stop supporting a candidate for one statement in the heat of a campaign are (1) ignoring a lot of far more provocative things said by Trump; and (2) probably never supported Cruz in the first place.

Oddly enough....double standards are the only standards that the Trump fans (and coincidentally, the leftists) have. Just like Obama, nothing Trump says or does is ever his fault.

I’m embarrassed that they call themselves freepers now. I never thought I’d feel that way here.

There used to be a ‘modicum of respect’ but this is getting absurd.

Trump is a little autoschediastic in his talk. Some of these posters are..........well, read some and see what you think.

Exactly. Spot on and kudos! Cruz only said the truth, that Trump (the leader of his campaign) bears 'some' of the responsibility for the violent incidents now, due to his own rhetoric. But much like Obama supporters...nothing is ever Trump's fault to his "loyal fans". And yes, all of these "I'm never gonna support Cruz again" posts are just what they smell like.....BS.

Yes.

Go Trump far, far away so that I never have to see your ugly face again.


How old are you? It won’t be long and you will be banned...count on it....maybe 4 days.
