They misspelled “yuuuuge.”

Never miss a chance to look racist and insufferable. thats the ticket !

(he is to me insufferable the racist is a matter of optics)

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks for clearing that up. You had me worried. All lives do indeed matter.

[mplsconservative]

What is that supposed to mean???

[Trumpinator]

They will learn to spell Yuuuuge correctly soon.

This is a shrewd tactic from the Master Tactic Campaign Trick Book:

[Bidimus1]

What part of my statement is confusing ?

[hotsteppa]

All lives matter, deal with it.

The part where you mess up the English language.

[Fhios]

Did you shine your good shoes and put on a collared shirt and petite bow tie before you posted that?

I’ll bite. What part of Trumps rally was racist besides the few racists in the crowd?

[Jack Black]

What's clear is that the left, which has many many groups organized to deliver protests from mild to full on riots-on-demand (see MO, Ferguson), has decided to get "active" in the race. I would not be surprised to see every single Trump event from here on out disrupted by agitators.

They appear to be organized along racial lines: there are the BLM (Black Lives Matter) groups, and there are La Raza types. The goals of these protests are to sow discord in the Trump camp, paint Trump as racist (because PoC's are protesting him), and paint his followers as "brownshirts". The media are, as always willing to lap up this narrative, and no doubt the hidden hands behind the messaging are various Far Left think tanks like Tides Foundation, Soros front groups and the OfA.

What are the best ways to respond? Both on the Trump campaign level, and on the larger Right vs. Left level?

Should the right start using similar tactics against Hillary? (Interesting the BLM movement *is* also targeting her). What proximate cause would be the most effective? Gun rights? (My sense is there are many gun owners who still vote Dem.)

Should Freeper Activists begin disrupting Hillary events on a regular basis? Can one even get into a Hillary event without being chipped and tatooed?

Just curious what other Freepers think.

It's gibberish, but it makes sense if you add a period or a semicolon after the word "insufferable". Glad to help.

Huh?

[digger48]

Meaning, the racist protesters

[Las Vegas Ron]

Were you that metrosexual “reporter” that got his azz handed to him by the Secret Service?

[Bidimus1]

Ah I see the issue.

I did not say it was or that he was.

Asking the question with no foundation “are you a mexican?” can easily bee seen as having racial implications. Even if it is not ask George Allen.

I did say I find him insufferable which I do but as far as I know he is not racist. His horrible apparent backtrack and contradiction his own statements (which had been very well said to start) on the david duke/white supremacist issue is not helping either.

Living in the real world of politics means that just shooting from the hip all the time eventually means you shoot your own foot or worse you thigh.

Recent events that have gone violent:

• Trump campaign event discussed in this article.

• "KKK" rally in Aneheim, immediately went to blows, then stabbings. Four hospitalized, about 12 arrested. Clearly the leftists were anarchist and black block types (based on their flags)

• Cal State speech by Ben Shapiro of Breitbart. Mob closes off the hall, intimidates people attending. Black and multi-culti mob. 1 punch from all out mayhem.

I think this is going to escalate.

Ah, so you think Mexican is a race....jut like the libs do.

Got it.
