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.
Your assertions are wide of the mark.
Your request is beyond my capabilities at the moment.
Here, come watch with me... http://rsbn.tv/live-stream-donald-trump-rally-in-boca-raton-fl-3-13-16/
You never know... we may see some more GOPe/Obama/Uniparty/Soros anarchists who become violent and we can start this conversation all over again after cruz, rubio, and kasich blame the Trumpeters. I’m sure their handlers are getting more frustrated by the day as they see that Trump won’t back down from free speech.
New protest planned for tomorrow. According to their memo, “the point is to shut it down from the inside,” “like Chicago.”

Trump needs to come back to Texas.
I suspect that he had said those magic words, you would haven something else he failed to say. You are against Cruz no mater what he says does or doesn’t say or do. You are against him simply because he is running against Trump.
I recall when you had your screen name changed from Nita Nupresident (or something like that) to Nita Nupress. I hope that some day you will look back and realize that during the 2016 campaigns that you argued in a similar way in favor of Trump to the way the MSM argues in favor of their favorites Clinton and Obama.
They report with a double standard, accepting when Clinton or Obama do the same thing their opponents do when the MSM says that’s wrong for their opponents.
Hey, lookee here:

Doesn’t sound like it will be nearly as effective. Sounds more like an outside-protest. Registration will be far more sparse than in crooked Chicago.
Who the eff is Kim Davis
Ok. We get it. You like Cruz and you don’t like Trump. How about not being like a BLM protester and trying to troll the thread? You’ve had enough exposure and time here.
I recall you were none-too-fond of being trolled, by me, on this very thread. Will you express hypocrisy by continuing to troll this thread?
<< I suspect that he had said those magic words, you would haven something else he failed to say. You are against Cruz no mater what he says does or doesn’t say or do. >>
That’s usually the last gasp, strawman argument of someone who has nothing else more logical to say. Maybe you’ll think of some other way to defend him later. Just ping me.
<< You are against him simply because he is running against Trump. >>
That does not compute. Your assertion is erroneous.
<< ... you argued in a similar way in favor of Trump to the way the MSM argues in favor of their favorites Clinton and Obama. They report with a double standard, accepting when Clinton or Obama do the same thing their opponents do when the MSM says that’s wrong for their opponents.>>
About the only thing i’ve said positive about trump on this thread is that he defends our 1st amendment rights. Other than that, you won’t find me defending him much. I don’t even like him very much, depending on what day it is. I tolerate him because the other 3 are bought and sold.
What else ya got? That didn’t make the grade.
Kim Davis does not compute and draws a blank.
Well then, it appears I have misinterpreted you. I apologize.
Btw, I’ve always thought YOU were a troll. Your name won’t make an anagram; not one single anagram. That’s a sure-fire sign we should all suspect you.
For that matter, savedbygrace is probably codeword for “Adverbs Cagey.” :-)

Oh, and i’m conflicted. Should i watch trump on Hannity or watch him live at Boca Raton? He’s on both right now.
I’m going for the live choice. Anarchists are more interesting than Hannity. Sorry, sean.
OMGawsh. He has a red hat on and no tie.
What a SLUT!!!
Well, in my defense, Zatamazal is an Aztec God.
Oh, and i’m conflicted. Should i watch trump on Hannity or watch him live at Boca Raton? He’s on both right now.
Do as I do: One eye on one, one eye on the other.
He's for LINUX!!??!? Oh, I'm done with him.
Besides, in New York, we'd look at a guy standing there and go, "Hey! Bub! Whaddya, got a ha't on?"
Say it with a deep NYC accent and you will reveal the hidden code. :)
No problem. And don’t bother watching trump at the link. No protesters and he’s just repeating himself. Again. ;-)
LOL. You’re a but ... er.... nut. :-)
classy way ....fa-ted
I always liked it when Trump dressed in a micro-mini back in his younger days.
I am an unrepentant channel-surfer. As I was surfing this morning I saw a black female on MSNBC saying that Trump’s rhetoric is exactly like George Wallace. ( ? )
I had to laugh at her! ;-)
Yes, he obviously gets enough sustenance from all those kittens.
The Left has always eaten puppies. You can look it up.
