Talk radio host Glenn Beck, who was in Nevada campaigning on behalf of Sen. Ted Cruz at the caucus, denounced Donald Trump's supporters as "brown shirts" after the GOP frontrunner upstaged Beck by making an impromptu appearance at the same caucus venue he was speaking at.

It’s not “brownshirts,” Beck, it’s “Browncoats” (a la Firefly). Can’t stop the signal!
Beck is right. Own It.
Sad to say, but Mr. Beck suffers unaddressed mental problems.
I will wait for the attack by the brownshirts.
I've seen Cruz supporters threaten to try to get a Trump poster fired or court martialed from their job because they don't like the number or timestamp of the articles the FReeper posts pro Trump.
Now that's a brownshirt, IMO.
I’ve seen very little of that. I’ve mostly seen people say he is conservative and Christian. That he’s not perfect but far closer to conservative values than any of the other candidates.
Every human has flaws. Some admit it and try to work on them. Others don’t and instead go on the attack to distract and defer.
Very seldom have I seen a Trump supporter honestly address the issues raised with him. Instead only focusing on his good speeches and promises.
Exactly, same here. Expect the Cruzbots and Rubiobots to amp up their nasty rhetoric knowing they can’t even win the hispanic vote.
Before they ran to Trump, they started cheering him loudly. I was rolling on the floor as Back first thought they were cheering for him! LOL
Instead of looking like a jerk by going on and on when people started to cheer...Beck could have shown just a little class and used the microphone to say, “Ladies and gentlemen...Mr. Donald Trump”
It’s a race between Beck and Kanye.
Actually, Beck predicted a guy like Trump spliting the right, he called over 2 years ago.
“Exactly, same here. Expect the Cruzbots and Rubiobots to amp up their nasty rhetoric knowing they can’t even win the hispanic vote.”
An example from bluerose.
Name calling and attacks.
I’d have much more respect for Cruz or anti-Trump people if they would argue issues.
Beck is a drama queen.
But intimidation techniques like this are troubling and part of a pattern of thuggery by Trump and his supporters.
For example, Trump threatened the Cubs owner because she dared support different candidates.
Someone so quick to physically abuse and threaten others with whom one merely has a political disagreement is on a fast road to fascism.
It’s not remotely conservative or American.
Protecting the right to disagree is very much the core of the Constitution.
And that is exactly whats happening.
Beck is deeply troubled but he isn’t stupid.
With the GOP splitting up the Republican party why was that a shock?
“Very seldom have I seen a Trump supporter honestly address the issues raised with him. Instead only focusing on his good speeches and promises.”
Worth repeating. Trump may even be what America needs AT THIS MOMENT. But being blind to his limitations helps no one in the long run. What happens when the wheels come off the rollercoaster?
bump!
“I’d have much more respect for Cruz or anti-Trump people if they would argue issues.”
Like what? Like abuse of eminent domain, bankruptcy, donations to liberals, universal healthcare, support for planned parenthood?
heck I’ve seen Trump supporters SUPPORT Planned Parenthood on FR.
“Unlike, say, calling someone sleazy, slimy, ugly, the biggest liar ever. People they’d like to punch in the face. A pussy.”
Hey, just because Trump lied to and betrayed his investors, not once, but four times, causing them to lose all the money invested in every scheme he’s offered is no reason to call him a pussy.
Why, he was a star athlete who somehow got bone spurs diagnosed for his Vietnam physical, making him 4F, and they suddenly cured themselves after the draft.
I mean, that’s a miracle!
We’re back at “he gave a good speech”.
