L.A. Times Worries About 'Unintended Consequences' of Mexican Flags at Anti-Trump Protest
NewsBusters ^ | April 29, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Um... Could you anti-Trump protesters please not display so many Mexican flags when protesting against Trump? You might not realize it but it will only help him in the California primary in June.

That is the big worry of the Los Angeles Times in reporting about the protests against Donald Trump yesterday in Costa Mesa. Here is the Times wringing its hands in worry as reported by Ruben Vives and Shelby Grad, about the "unintended consequences" of displaying the Mexican flag which proved counter-productive in the past:

What on earth is the point of that picture? (exclamation point question mark exclamation point question mark)

Is it saying "purist" conservatives don't attract rioters? Or they do? And you want rioters? Or you don't? So dirtbags rioting at Trump events is good? I have no idea what your message is!

The protesters are apparently too dumb to realize that they’re simply proving Trump’s points — and giving him more free publicity!

Go see the site “La Voz de Aztlan” (it’s the Mexican version of Stormfront complete with paranoid ravings against the Jooooos) and all of your questions will be answered and right from the source.

Anyone waving a Mexican Flag while they are rioting should be considered a foreign hostile invader and shot dead.

I would be much cheaper to build the wall North of LA - using the Tahachape Mountains as a natural barrier. Sorry that we would have to cut off the water supply flowing south.

Heads up to the people running this country, the middle class built this country and we can BURN IT DOWN. We are being pushed to the point we have nothing left to lose and that is when we will make sure you lose everything too.

Ballots or bullets, your choice.

Our MSM media is the propaganda arm of the democrat party..

The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column.

So for y’all in the East, this is our reality.

Mexican terrorists threatening U.S. Presidential candidates.

We have to live with this garbage every day in California courtesy of anti-Americans like the Bush family not only doing nothing about it but sympathizing with them.

And people in places like New Hampshire not understanding what’s happening here.

This is TERRORISM and INVASION. You bet the LA Times is fretting: even hate filled anti-Americans at that “newspaper” understand the reality of what’s happening.

Run it on the news all over the U.S. - have the ordinary people see what’s being done to them, as if people in the Southwest didn’t already know.”

Bears repeating!!!

FYI..lots of pics

How would anybody get that from your confusing use of the word purist and throwing Limbaughs name in there? Now you add stuffed animals? It is a mosh of nonsense that only Trump cultists could possibly even understand.

Entertain for the moment that the actual reasons they're rioting at Trump events is that he's the clear front runner for the nomination and they would riot at any GOP front runner. That, and he called them rapists.

I suggest it's the other way 'round. The Democrat Party is the political arm of the MSM.

With enemies like “the media” Trump doesn’t need any friends.

Megyn Kelly put Trump on the Republican political map by trying to drive him from the podium at the first debate joint news conference.

Being so close to an election, they’re probably worried. Any other time, the left would be stoking the fire, handing out molotovs to throw.

It looks like a rehearsal for the GOP Convention.
