Great picture.

Now THAT would be the truth, if the media reported the truth.

A liberal POS dresses up like a klansman and gets his ass kicked by a black man.

In a sane world, the black man would be lauded and praised.

But the liberal media simply won't report the facts, ma'am.

If Trump encouraged it, there would be far more than 2 incidents with thousands and thousands of people.

When did tRump become Paton then?

This was an even worse assault because the Trump supporter sucker punched the protestor to the ground and then continued to kick the protestor on the ground until he was restrained. The Trump movement is showing its ugly fascist side to America. How any freepers can defend this is beyond me.

He was not wearing a KKK uniform. He was dressed like Uncle Sam and he was being escorted out.

You are very wrong, there are times when a leader must condone violence, indeed respond with extreme violence.

I am mindful of something that William Buckley once said, condemning the pacifist bleeding heart liberals infesting our government. I don’t remember what he said exactly, it was quite some time ago, probably before you were born but the gist of it was: Kidnapping and murder of our enemies are not wrong when they are the only things that will stop our enemies from kidnapping and murdering us.”

Standing up to evil doers, measure for measure, is biblical and moral.

Further, if a leader is willing to be violent to stop violence, and those inclined toward violence know this, there will be much less violence.

It is very naive, even immoral, to insist that our country’s leaders should never condone violence.

PS: I thought you delivered your opus and left. Why are you even here?

>>>Trump is digging a hole he won’t get out of. Will never win if nominated. A leader NEVER condones violence<<<

Yeah, I distinctly remember Trump yelling out hey Boy, beat the shit out of that Democrat in the Klan Outfit.

Then he said, they bring a Knife, you bring a Gun.

Then he said, Get in their Faces.

Then he called everyone Bitter Clingers as he left the Stage.

I fear your TDS may be untreatable with current Technology.

You all know my view of Trump and I don't think he is guilty either. These hitlerjugend illegally and dangerously blocked the road leading to the Trump rally and one of them wore a klan hood in front of a black fellow, as if to taunt him saying "[n word], you're forbidden to go there." I hope the black guy gets off as he was provoked in the extreme.

p.s. Saul Alinsky invented this klan hood trick to use against Dick Cheney when he was working for Richard Nixon and speaking at a University.

Concern Troll Charles Henrickson is very concerned.

We need a button on FR. A "Give it a rest" button. Endless posts on the same thing, over and over, among a small minority, designed to harass and wear down the vast majority, are so annoying. It is a communist tactic (I am not saying you are communist, only that the tactic was created by them.) They developed the strategy of planting 5 supporters in a room of say 300, at a town hall or public event. One of their group would stand up and say something following their script. Someone over in another corner would stand up and support them, and add to the script. And so on, until 5 people in a row made it look to the people there as if everyone agreed with the radical position. Everyone who didn't shut up.

I am convinced that the 5 or 10 people who come to every thread, even when it has nothing to do with Trump or Cruz, and who do nothing more than say worthless, non-substantive crap like you just did Charles, are following a similar gameplan. You are trying to make it seem as though you are a significant part of the conservative movement. But you're not. You're outliers, dead-enders, many of whom are likely being paid.

I think you should get 5 Give It A Rests, and then your posting is done for a week, like if you make too many attempts to get into an iPhone. Get another one too soon, and it becomes a month. 10 of them, and, like with an iPhone, your existence is wiped, or, as we say here, zotted.

Please, give it a rest.

I'm not sure if People are as you say supporting Violence or just expressing an understanding of the Black Man's reaction.

So tell us, what if this happened at a Cruz Rally? Would you be defending the provocateur in the Klan Outfit or the Black Man? Answer the question honestly. I'm a former Cruzer, but the TDS around here is beyond ridiculous. Everyone is looking for the slightest opening to get their digs in.

The brownshirts were infamous for disrupting rallies of the political opposition.
