Last night in Chicago, a mob of progressives shut down a Donald Trump rally.
The protestors -- described as mostly young millennials -- infiltrated the University of Illinois Pavilion, in central Chicago, and set about subverting the event. They waved Mexican flags -- pro-immigrant, geddit -- and wore t-shirts calling Trump Hitler. There were violent clashes and a policeman was reportedly injured.
The protestors cheered when police announced the rally would be shut down because of security concerns. They revelled in their victory against free speech, taunting the furious Trump fans with chants of 'we won'.
This is American politics now: juvenile, anti-liberal, menacing.
We know that Trump voters are angry. Even angrier, it seems, are those on America's left who just cannot accept that Trump voters exist.
Weirdly, both sides want Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination. The Trump fans, obviously, because they love annoying the world with their candidate. But so too the anti-Trumpists, because they violently want to have a moral political purpose.
No wonder Donald Trump says he 'gladly accepts the mantle of anger'. He must see that anger on all sides fuels his rise....

Well, there you have it folks, 2ndDivisionVet broke it down for y’all. He/She brilliantly condensed the subject at hand then in a flash of frightening microclarity, laid out the truth, what do you think ‘bout that?
Nothing but love for all Vets, and those they hold dear.
You demonstrate the sobering truth.
We do what we have to do, even to water the tree of liberty occasionally.
I’ve seen conservative news sites talking about a black Trump supporter, Robert King Bullock, getting murdered by Chicago leftist thugs - but nothing from main stream.
Very sad, however, I can believe this happened because of anger I saw in some of the thugs!
The author of the article was incorrect in that the protesters were mostly young millennials. The huge group of thugs that ambushed me had some older professional organizer types involved. I saw their hate in their eyes and heard seething anger in their screams :(

Really? So you believe, along with Ted and Rachel Maddow, that Trump was responsible for the violence, and not the protesters who committed violence to shut down a rally?
That's pretty disturbing. I think Ted lost his race for the nomination last night. Bad advice. Bad judgment. He may never recover.
I have my doubts, to put it mildly, but in fairness, that remains to be seen.
Excellent graphic. It’s missing CRuz’s flameout, though.
“The Trump fans, obviously, because they love annoying the world with their candidate.”
That’s what’s known as “wishful thinking”.
“Rent-A-Violent Mob!”
These are paid, professional agitators!
Those of us who remember the “Porta-Potty” wars encountered them many times during the Clinton years.
They are nasty, dirty, profane people whose sole intent is to create chaos and mayhem.
They need to be put down! Hard!
I know the “hatred in their eyes” — it is surprising at first, then it explains so much.
No he won’t blast Cruz. He is invested.
is supposed to be a false story.
I’m very sad you chose to side with a man, Cruz, who supports violent Jihad against Trump... and actually back his support!
That’s bulls***.
Agreed :(
No he (Rush) won’t blast Cruz. He is invesTED.
Along with Levin.
Because he spoke the truth?

Looking forward to 2DV’s answer.
What truth did CRuz speak, is what I’m wondering.
Trump is at least partially responsible for the violence at his rallies due to his words and actions. You know it, I know it, Cruz knows it and Trump knows it.
Trump is at least partially responsible
Entirely false. You’re not understanding who these protesters are. They are organized, not just disgruntled individuals.
Trump is at least partially responsible for the violence at his rallies due to his words and actions. You know it, I know it, Cruz knows it and Trump knows it.
That is sick. How so?
No, I don’t agree with you and untrusTED, on this, at all.
Please tell us exactly how Trump is responsible for violence at his rallies???
What words and what actions of Trump make him remotely responsible??
Why are you pushing such leftist memes? Why would CRuz join with the left, on this? Disgusting to see.
Heh, heh. invesTED!
