Donald Trump faced a tough crowd last night in Iowa City, leaving the stage early after constant boos, whistles, and even tomatoes thrown by protesters.

The tomatoes were thrown after the billionaire Republican front-runner called Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders a communist, according to Daily Iowan reporter Brent Griffiths.

You know, it is honestly encouraging to think that the term ‘communist’ can still offend someone. I thought we had reached the point where they no longer feel ashamed of it like they no longer feel ashamed of so many other things.

For example, there seems to be no shame in amorality, in parasitism, in mocking Christianity, etc.

Tomatoes are fruits. Bernie’s supporters (many of) are also fruits. The balance are either nuts or flakes. He’s the cereal candidate.

[generally]

How many people walk around with tomatoes in their pockets. This was a setup. Liberals looking for trouble.

[NorthMountain]

"Bernie Sanders is a communist" is an objective truth. It would be interesting to know why the tomato thrower was offended.

“That is immature, childish, and low-class.”

*****

I must have misread the story. Was it Trump throwing stuff? Or just acting like his usual immature, childish, low-class self?

The tomatoes were thrown after the billionaire Republican front-runner called Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders a communist...

People who bring tomatoes to political events are going to find some reason to throw them. It's not like there was a farmers market there that people spontaneously raided. That makes it premeditated assault.

What a crock, There was not “constant boos and whistle blowing” and he did not leave early. This reporter must have been on LSD and hallucinating.

I predict this election will be very, very ugly. Not even one vote has been cast. It’s a long road to November. Leftists are at their most dangerous when they feel their power slipping away.

Was it Trump throwing stuff?

Trump would have gone up another 3 points in the poll if he returned fire.

America respects a fighter.

I always thought it would have been totally awesome if W Bush had pulled out a pistol and shot the muzzie shoe thrower.

“Honest, I thought it was a grenade, what did you expect me to do?”

[onedoug]

The tomatoes were thrown after the billionaire Republican front-runner called Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders a communist....

Which proves the point.

[amihow]

Trump will make spaghetti sauce out of the tomato. It will be reeealy great and a yhuge best selling sauce and Trump will make millions. Hmmmm.

Califonia’s Governor Brown once ran as the “Cereal Champion”
“fruits, flakes and nuts”.

Meh...

[Blue Jays]

Throwing anything at a political event is entirely unacceptable.
I am sure you concur physical assault should not be tolerated.

[NorthMountain]

California: the land of nuts, fruits, and flakes where even the weather is queer.

[Blue Jays]

The hilarious smirk on GWB after that absurd shoe-throwing was priceless.
He was basically laughing at the insane Muslim for being a complete idiot.

[Liberty Valance]

lol!

[who knows what evil?]

I seriously doubt that Bernie himself would be. He's quite up-front about being a socialist.

You're spot on. When listening to local talk radio in the Red Mountain state; Bernie would come on every week or so...when the subject of Russia came up; you could hear his voice cracking, you could visualize his eyes welling up with tears. Now, of course; communism draws college students like feces draws flies.

[Blue Jays]

You are absolutely correct about college kids, their "love" for socialism, and their dumb Che Guevara tee-shirts.
I am personal friends with a person whose family was murdered by Che Guevara and his goons.
That friend would give those soft-brained hipster kids a different perspective on marxism / socialism / communism.

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing tomatoes should not be mixed with fruit.
