Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancellation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed.
Brownshirt tactics worked. The mob, triumphant, rejoiced.
And the reaction of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich?
All three Republican rivals blamed – Donald Trump.
With his “dangerous style of leadership,” Trump stokes this anger, mewed Rubio, “This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of bitterness and anger and frustration.”
Rubio implies that if Trump doesn’t tone down his remarks to pacify the rabble, he will be responsible for the violence visited upon him.
Kasich echoed Rubio: “Donald Trump has created a toxic environment (that) has allowed his supporters and those who sometimes seek confrontation to come together in violence.”
But were the thousands of Trump supporters who came out to cheer him that night really looking for a fight? Or were they exercising their right of peaceful assembly?
Cruz charged Trump with “creating an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord,” thus offering absolution to the mob.
Friday night cried out for moral clarity. What we got from Trump’s rivals was moral mush that called to mind JFK’s favorite quote from Dante: The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

Pat Buchanan is hated by the Republican establishment and the media because he tells the truth. He is almost always right.
This time Pat Buchanan nailed it perfectly. He described what is really happening in the Republican Party.
Contrast Pat Buchanan with the National Review.
What you mean Trumps rallies actually have some energy and are dead like Cruzs’.
Rubio and Cruz weren't even born when the 1968 riots occurred. They have no cultural memory of those horrific times, so they enable those who would tear the nation down. Kasich was 16 at the time, so he should know better. Did he say even ONE WORD praising the police in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Cleveland?
NONE of them are saying that those opposed to Trump have the right to go and listen to a candidate they oppose, but that's as far as those rights extend. They have no right to be there with the sole attempt of depriving his supporters of our first amendment rights.
It was just plain wrong for the other candidates to not rally around the protection of our rights. Instead they enabled the dark side. Disgusting.
Harvard, right? Same as Obama.
Agree wholeheartedly.
‘Cruz has had protesters and handled them without encouraging assault and battery.’
Cruz also wimped out on the muslim ban.
Cruz also wimped out on waterboarding.
Cruz doesn’t want to make waves. That way all the flak flies at Trump. In other words, he’s not ready to lead. Trump is.
It’s high time that someone confronted the ‘Unhinged’ and exposed them for the creeps they are. But it takes a leader to do something like that.
Glad I have Michelle Malkin’s book, “Unhinged”. Explains it all.
Nazi maxim: ‘Whoever conquers the streets, conquers the state.’
That’s what the ‘Unhinged’ leftists do. They not only conquered the streets, they also raid political rallies.
Political Correctness has Neutered Patriotism

Cruz is a tool. Isis is laughing their asses off at us now. Let’s just set a tone and agree to stand down as a general policy. That was easy! Isis has now agreed to behead us with a sharp knife rather than a rusty one. Who will lead and set the tone when the crap really hits the fan? If political correctness isn’t corrected, we don’t stand a chance. The agitators and paid actors and protesters would sooner take up with ISIS than defend America.
Stuck in a car yesterday...wound up listening to news on the radio...every broadcast blamed the activities of the Sanders brownshirts, MoveOn, Soros toadies and such on DONALD TRUMP...each and every hour. Blatant lies, and yet the media repeated them at the top of every hour. The ONLY talk radio speaking truth lately is Michael Savage.
Just look at how the left has neutered patriots!
How many patriots fought off protestors who blocked ambulances? Sabotaging emergency responders is attempted murder.
Rush did a great job exposing the leftist ‘Unhinged’ brown shirts and Hannity did an even better job. A great day of truth for six hours. I miss Savage. Would have loved to hear him too!
The silence form the members of Congress is telling as well.
Anyone hear from McConnell, Ryan, McCarthy?
Our illustrious Senators?
Our wonderful Congressmen?
Reince Preibus?
Karl Rove?
Silence is consent.
I don’t know if comparing today’s leftists with the 60’s as accurate. Today’s leftists demonstrators don’t have any “skin in the game”. In the 60’s, we had the Vietnam War and the Draft and the demonstrators at that time were facing jail, fleeing to Canada and/or being drafted and going to Vietnam. Today’s protestors are often paid by MoveOn.Org or some other leftist organization. Don’t sell them short though. When the Republicans hold their convention in Cleveland in July, you can look for large demonstrations with a complicit media to make them even look larger. Stay Tuned !
I never was a big fan of Savage, but he has been on the radical left like flies on Obama the past few months...
I bet Trump has Savage fired up!
If you read Michelle Malkin’s ‘Unhinged’ you will find that they spit on soldiers back during GW Bush’s administration, they’ve rioted in Ferguson, and they’ve been as goonlike as ever.
Obama told them to ‘get in their face’. “If they have a knife, bring a gun. That’s the Chicago way.”
Anyway, I’ll refer to ‘Unhinged’ and get back with you.
They aren’t wimps. They’re traitors! This is why we are supporting TRUMP today! Get out and vote!
Trump has been on his show quite a bit lately...he was on yesterday when lightning took out the local radio station...hmmmm. Guess Cruz DOES have some ‘connections’...
I forgot to mention that in addition to Vietnam, the Draft etc.,in the 68 demonstrations they had recently experienced the assassinations of MLK and RFK. Brokaw wrote a book on that period which is worth reading.
I heard Savage. He gave a very good description of the leftist thugs, their tactics and their goals. It was probably the best analysis I have ever heard from Savage.
