Flag-stomping protesters fueling tensions at Trump, other events

MILWAUKEE – In a year when political tensions already are running high, a group of protesters is fueling the acrimony by showing up to political rallies and events with a large American flag – and stomping on it.

The members of the self-described “F*** Your Flag Tour” most recently popped up at a Donald Trump rally Sunday in West Allis, Wis. They posted themselves next to the line of thousands of people waiting to get into the Republican presidential front-runner’s event at the local high school.

They proceeded to lay the muddied flag on the ground and stand on it, triggering heated exchanges with those nearby.

One man shouted to the group, “My brother is fighting overseas for that flag, pick it up."

He got into an argument with the protesters and tried to get close enough to pick up the flag but was blocked and shoved. Police eventually had to lead him away out of safety concerns.

It’s not a good idea to poke the bear.

Keep it up losers. Keep it up.

How about a big picture of Obama, Sanders or Clinton on the ground for everyone to step on. Betcha the peace loving protesters wouldn't stand for it and it would result a riot.

Leftists trying to get a response out of Trump. So why doesn’t the Trump team do something similar to Sanders?

Ungrateful snots should be kissing the ground. Clueless about where and how some people barely exist from day to day. I have nothing but contemp for these assclowns. Now, back on the bus to your heated or cooled residence to watch you flat screen and snack from your overstocked fridge. Or maybe you’ll drive back home in your BMW or Range Rover.

The newsies are already resurrecting the epithet “angry white men”.

Lessee....ABC & NBC used that in 1980 against supporters of Ronald Reagan. Really worked, huh?

Well, here goes.

Isn’t ironic, a Bernie or Hillary supporter stomping on a flag doesn’t really effect us, but voters supporting Cruz will give us Hillary.

I bet they wouldn't like a 5 - knuckle response, though they deserve it,

If I were a cop with a nightstick and saw someone even step on our Flag, I’d play whack-a-mole with the sumbitch.

The little faggot is wearing a Cinderella watch. He needs a good flogging and castration so he can’t breed.

Why? Maintain decorum for now and then Trump can use a video of this as campaign fodder against the usual suspects like Hillary, and Sanders.

The voters of Obama’s hate and change movement are everywhere to fight American citizen patriots. They represent the dregs of society, the rulers of places like Detroit, Baltimore, and DC. These scum should be wiped from our shoes. They are the enemy;, not Trump, and not Cruz.

We need to remind that it is now “well-armed, angry white men”.

“....it is now “well-armed, angry white men”.

Yeah.....! I can dig it!

Or as Bammie calls us, “bitter clingers”. Libs are going nutso on the internet over AR-15s selling like hotcakes. They console themselves with the meme “more guns in fewer hands, mostly OFWGs who will soon die off”.

The nuttier ones say, “I trust a Muslim more than I trust a white man with an AR-15”. Whatever floats your boat, pal.

I work with one who takes that to the next level by saying that he would rather live in a Muslim theocracy than a Baptist theocracy....

....because of how poorly Baptists treat women, gays, and outsiders.
