One consistent behavior of the left is that they create a crisis, then offer to solve it, all the while blaming the victim.
So it goes with Donald Trump and his rallies. The group #BlackLiesMatter has stormed his rallies, fighting with his supporters in Chicago, and disrupting other events, and even had a lone wolf Thomas Dimassimo rush Trump on his podium. Thank the Good Lord the Secret Service was prepared and protected him quickly with their bodies, for who knows how this might have otherwise played out.
In response, the Propaganda Ministry (formerly and inaccurately known as the American News Media) blamed Trump for the attacks on him. This is the political equivalent of blaming the rape victim. They are claiming that Donald Trump caused the attacks with 'divisive and inflammatory' rhetoric.
Note, also, that the meme circulated last weekend was that Trump is just like Hitler. Yet, who is really acting like the Nazis? It is those in the #BlackLiesMatter movement, and others who would shut down Trump's rallies. In the 1920's and 1930's, the Sturmabteilung (also known as Brownshirts) stormed the rallies of their political opponents with violence and disruption. It turns out that those who falsely accused Trump of Nazism, adopted every single tactic of the Nazis themselves.
Let us momentarily ignore the hideous accusation that "Donald Trump deserved it, for he dresses like a SLUT!” Let us analyze his "divisive and inflammatory" rhetoric:
In so doing, they impugn all of us who think these comments are very positive developments in modern politics -- and, most importantly, they blame Trump for the attacks upon his supporters and upon his person. They are saying that "Trump deserves his rape! He dresses like a SLUT!"
This is the most base and vile possible argument. People who advance this heinous must be called out and publically shamed for their comments. Additionally, let us imagine for a moment that Trump *was* speaking in an objectionable way. America traditionally does not shut down objectionable speech. America traditionally meets such speech with more speech.
I was quite disappointed to see Ted Cruz jump aboard this argument, and it gives me pause per his true allegiances and motivations. He presented the obligatory condemnation of the attackers, and then used the word 'but', and went on to defame Donald Trump. I hold that most of the time that people say "this, BUT that", they deny their first clause, and are actually solely advocating their second clause. Cruz went right to the most base of all possible arguments. He agrees: "Trump deserves his rape! He dresses like a SLUT!"
This argument cannot stand, and we must call out anyone who advocated this "blame the victim" mentality.
The ‘Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution’ was thought control by intimidation, persuasion by various torture methods in re-education camps, and elimination of the unrepentant.
The message doesn’t really matter, only that you are subservient to their word. If you deviate into non-approved thoughts, you are guilty of thought-crime. Anyone not affirming their core dogma is the enemy.
The new version, the BLM and similar cults, initiated disruption at the university centers and metastasized to directly manipulate the political choice mechanisms. Submit or be silenced seems the theme.
What the uniparty globalists are most concerned about is Trump messing up their new world order - the trade agreements and other entanglements.
They are using race as a side show to get the dummies on the left hepped up for riots. They have been working on setting off race riots for some time now, as you know. God only knows why Obama, who wants to be like Lincoln, wants race hate and race war. While blacks are committing the race hate crimes and riots, the Uninparty blames whites as innate racists who make the blacks beat and kill them.
I don’t care what “but” means in the real world nor in the world of English majors. All i know is that if you go listen to Teddie’s first comments about the Moveon.org and other Soros-funded, hate-filled disruptors that night, you can’t help but face the truth. Ted Cruz is an opportunist who cares more about winning than he does about protecting our 1st Amendment.
On Friday night in Chicago, he walked through a door, was greeted by reporters, and spent at least 3 full minutes talking about it. In that full 3:00 minutes that was recorded at the link below, he talked nonstop except for a 5-second pause when a reporter asked him a question.
During that 3:00 minutes, The Butt used the word “but” twice, both of which were used for the same purpose: To cut his initial, obligatory answer short so he could get to the part he REALLY wanted to talk about... the part where he blames his elusive adversary for the Soros/GOPe-funded mayhem. That’s what his handlers at the Sea Island, Ga Jet-Set meeting wanted The Lying Butt and his 2 fellow Establishment Musketeers to do.
The Establishment has already publicly stated on CNN (Haley Barbour’s son & his friend from MS) that the only way to “take out Trump” was to “do the Mississippi Treatment on him” and that’s what’s being done here. The 3 Musketeers — Trump’s adversaries — are just doing what their donor handlers have told them to do.
Go ahead. Go listen to Ted’s words and then try to argue that he put your 1st Amendment rights in front of his donor handlers’ instructions and his own obsession to sit in the White House.

At the 1:12 mark:
After blabbing for over a minute about political discourse in general and about himself, he finally gets to his first money statement.
“Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands, BUT...” (blah, blah, blah about how it’s Trump’s fault)
THEN...
https://youtu.be/pmxBp4IFe_I?t=64
Again at the 2:00 mark:
Reporter asked the question: “Do you think that Trump should NOT have cancelled the rally tonight?”
The Answer: “I think the decision should be based on public safety, BUT...” (blah, blah, blah about how it’s Trump’s fault)
That’s it. That’s 25 words that Cruz used to condemn “protesters” out of 3 minutes of blabbing about Trump.
But, but...
No, I don’t think Trump deserves the violent action. That is not what I’m saying at all.
What I am saying, is those speaking out that Trump needs to stop saying some of the things he has been saying, that he’s in a leadership position and needs to help set the tone for HIS supporters (who have been seen getting violent and even his security have too), is not any different than what Trump was saying about Pamela Gellar and the Muhammad event.
I’m saying it’s hypocritical of people to cast dispersions on those calling on Trump to set a better tone, when Trump himself has done the same things to others.
Just in case you haven’t seen the Mississippi Treatment being discussed and how it needs to be used against Trump:
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/trackers/2016-02-24/with-all-due-respect-02-23-16
Discussion about how to decapitate Trump starts at 23:00
GUESTS:
1. Stuart Stevens, Romney’s guy in 2012 (talks about what they did to Chris McDaniel in MS in 2014 — the “Mississippi Treatment”
2. Randy Barbour, Haley Barbour’s son
This was shortly before Rubio took Randy Barbour’s advice and started attacking Trump. THAT didn’t work out so well, so now the GOPe/RNC/BigDonors are going full-force with the “He’s a RACIST!” Mississippi Treatment.
The funny part of all this? The GOPe/RNC are so incompetent, they had to call on Soros and his thugs for help.
Here’s more detailed information on the 2014 Mississippi Treatment and how it relates to the 2016 primary:
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/02/24/gope-announce-plans-to-go-full-mississippi-on-donald-trump-to-destroy-him/
Holler if you want another link that shows evidence of Ted Cruz’s involvement in sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to Mississippi GOPe so Haley Barbour and his incumbent pal RINO Sen. Thad Cochran could run all the “McDaniel is a RACIST!” radio and TV ads.
You know.... That’s not a very nice response to people who can’t see through Cruz yet. I really wish you and other Trump people wouldn’t be so vengeful. Just my 2 cents.
optiguy, if you’re a troll, forget that.
Tell us what you think, please.
True, it’s not very nice.
But I only direct my bile at those who I know are either A: trolls, or B: those who have spent the last six months calling me and my fellows every name in the book.
I will note that I have been perfectly kind to those who are willing to be civil, and if I make a mistake, I apologize.
Though I’m pretty sure that I’m not making a mistake here.
I think to be intellectually honest is a trait of conservatism. To say Cruz supports BLM and communists is hyperbole at its extreme. My question was if Trump was supporting the jihadis in Irving due to his response that Pam Gellar should have not held the free speech event knowing Muslims might be provoked. I don’t believe Trump was, just as I don’t believe Cruz was being an apologist for the left. Sadly, critical thinking goes over the heads of far too many here. It is true that I believe both candidates are fallible humans, just as we all are. That’s why I support the candidate who has a track record of promoting, defending and adhering to the constitution. It’s the only hope of restoring this nation as it was written by fallible men with the understanding that all are fallible and designed keep all who seek to govern in check. I don’t pretend that we need to elect “just the right person this time” but rather, if who we elect is committed to constitutional governance, that person will be who’s needed.
Just got home from church. I’ll check it over.
This is what Cruz said:
“I also want to mention something about the events this evening in Chicago. This is a sad day. Political discourse should occur in this country without a threat of violence without anger and rage and hatred directed at each other. We need to learn to have disagreements without being disagreeable, to have disagreements while being respecting human beings on the other side.
“Earlier today over thirty people were arrested at one rally. And then tonight as violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that’s facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord.”
You have expressed your opinion that when but is used, it negates what comes before it. Now look at a transcript of a Trump speech and note that his use of but must negate what he has said about what he would do about immigration:
In other words, you cannot analyze what the word but means when Cruz says it and then analyze it to mean something else when Trump uses it. In fact, if you are correct about its meaning (you are not), then a prepared speech by Trump, assisted by professional political staff, would be more likely to be used the way you think it is used, than when Cruz, a well educated lawyer, is speaking off the cuff.
You can’t have it both ways.
Wrong.
Please see post #151. Please tell me when I have called you or any Trump supporter anything worse than something Trump has said. I may have used his own words to make a point. If there’s something wrong with repeating his words, please let me know.
Now you’re acting silly, Laz. You are defying logic and reason.
Well, you'll get shut down by #BlackLiesMatter, and rushed by leftists when at the podium.
Just sayin'.
Wrong.
Good argument overall, but it shows signs of having been written in great haste. (Not to worry, the great Daniel Greenfield sometimes publishes pieces with a similar array of glitches.)
Your main problem is comma-splicing, this is when you start a sentence, and as it’s going well, you think of more things you want to say, so you tack them on, using a comma, to just keep things moving ... Tom the Son does this all the time if I don’t watch him.
Other than that, there are a few disjunctions where you left some words out.
On the content side, it’s my opinion that, to be fair, you should mention some of the occasions when Mr. Trump has encouraged his attendees to assault protestors at his rallies. You can say this is very different from the attack on him, because it is.
Open Secrets does not show any donations to the Mississippi GOP by Ted Cruz. Link?
