Congrats #Chicago “protesters”, you’ve just made #Trump the victim.
Look for a nice bump in his poll numbers.— Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) March 12, 2016

Of course those are infiltrators, bent on stopping Trump. Follow the money.
And also of course, the MSM and its shills that are pretending that these really are Trump supporters should have their soothers taken away from them for a month.
Hey, it’s 1968 with internet.
Van-Jones on CNN complained that the Klan was recruiting in large Numbers… These silly brain dead children that think ONLY they the right to riot better arm themselves… The recruitment most likely increased an order of Magnitude (10X). When folks look for trouble, they will find it from those that enjoy chaos. This really isn’t political other than suppression of expression… A Shout down by fascists
Chicago is a dangerous destination. the Media down plays the threat, but Trump would not have cancelled unless extreme violence was expected
This is just the beginning. This is the smash-your-windows crowd. This is the gimme more FREE STUFF crowd who don’t want to lose any of their (4) Obama phones. I honestly FEAR for the lives of Trump and Carson. These losers won’t remain “peaceful” … as FOX NEWS calls them … for very long. We’ve seen this movie before.
And you know what ? The MSM will say they were “provoked”. Provoked by Trumps words. By Trumps insistence that we ENFORCE our (current) immigration LAWS.
Oh wait … here comes “black criminals matter” … armed $$$ by George Soros. Here comes the po-leece car bombings. Write another check, taxpayers. Hands-up, Don’t shoot ! Don’t choke me bro ! Yadda, bullshiiiitttt, Yadda.
Reagan made a name for himself by SMASHING some HEADS. Most notably at SF State (which is now overrun by little commies learning how to use AGW as a ruse to impose communist control over your life) All I can say … is … if there is ONE single act of violence … the response should be OVERWHELMING. Spare no one, crush the violence IMMEDIATELY. No letting it fester like that hell hole of a city outside St. Louis. Violence and destruction is NOT a 1st Amendment Right.
It was a setup.
Trump cannot praise the cops and then refuse to take their advice on the security of his rally.
Chicago, where Obama got 110% of registered voters, where whole precincts recorded zero republican votes.
Fox coverage a bit questionable, on Greta, the logo flashes “Massive Protests”
Funny I never saw massive used to describe the T.E.A rallies.
Brave of Trump to propose such a rally, however in the heart of corruption, that would have been suicidal bravery.
More Leftwing FASCISM and totalitarianism on display.
Too bad America is so brain dead, they can’t see the brownshirts masquerading as brainwashed yutes, the useful idiots of the Dumbocrat party.
And in Chicago, so typical. The gulag city of the states, where the First Amendment doesnt exist.
Pathetic numbskulls
This is the best advertising for Trump’s campaign and he didn’t even have to pay for it.. I remember watching what happened in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic convention. It came as no surprise that Richard Nixon won the election later that year.
People are pretty naïve if they do not think there are active groups who use such events to foment their own message. The real issue is whether thy get away with it. Sometimes it simply comes down to some heads getting cracked.
They won. For now. Their intolerance is showing; that may bite them back.
In Chicago (Obamaland) on a university campus. Any talk of a “debate” here is laughable. Their right to free speech is to shut down others’ as Ben Carson just said, “they’re interfering with your rights.” They don’t care because their C+ profs have told them they’re entitled to their intolerance.
Some pretty nasty people are concerned about a Trump presidency. My main concern is some hostile Tea Party shutdown of a Hillary Clinton rally. For those that don’t know me, oh yeah sarcasm. Create a hostile atmosphere, over words, pick a few fights, sabotage any opinion you don’t agree with, then blame their intolerance, hatred and violence on Trump. Hey Megyn, saying “punch him in the face” is not the same as punching him in the face.
That’s a known thing. The progressive establishment are now in full panic mode, as they always are when they feel their hegemony is at all threatened. No way they leave that judgment to the voters, unless and until they agree with statist brokerage politics that favours their puppeteers.
Low info students, racist causes turning violent and, you know. It’s Harper, oh I mean, Trump’s “fault.”
Pretty tiresome. The problem is now they’re emboldened to shut this guy down now that democracy isn’t going their way. They being the brainwashing profs with their little ideas (ie not the good ones), their students of course, with just enough knowledge to be dangerous, the media and their governmental cohorts, iow the usual suspects. Their orchestrated temper tantrums are tiresome.
They demand more than liberty, to be free from personal harm or theft of their possessions, no their liberty is to not have to entertain an idea, to be allowed to call it racist and force others to go along with their obviously prejudiced views, oh and someone else pays for it.
Living your life on pure emotion, our idiot PM telling people to stop fearing (wtf are you talking about). Remember his shout down shutdown? Anyway this is not about liberty or debate. It is about ignorance though, but not on the part of Trump et al.
What Trump needs right now and until elected:
-A food tester
-A bullet proof suit and helmet with full face
-A nuclear bunker at an undisclosed location to rest and sleep
-An army Humvee to travel
-A loaded 357 magnum with holster
-Determined Americans that will flood Washington if he is unjustly denied the Candidacy
-Godspeed and lots of prayers from supporters
By the anti-Trump crowd claiming that they have “won,” what they have in fact done is caused EVERYONE to lose.
They have provided the example of how to shut down ANYONE.
I think the comparison to Chicago in 1968 is only somewhat apt. My belief is that it is going to be far, far worse, and will continue past the conventions, and there will be a lot of blood in the streets.
I pray that I’m wrong about this.
Haiti cancelled their elections this January due to violence. They also have a leftist party that is about to lose the election. I think Haiti is a practice run for what will play out with the american election. We can expect obama to rattle the cages of his idiots this summer and stir them into a violent frenzy for voting time
Some of the left fascists who shut it down: Occupy protestors, Muslims united against Trump, unspecified LGBT, and pro-immigration groups organized by Rep. Luis Gutierrez. That’s right, a sitting US Congressman has led a street force of leftist brownshirts to clear the streets of people peacefully assembling, as guaranteed by the Constitution. He should be ejected from the House.
What these marxist, A-0 socialist prove is that they believe in freedom of assembly, for them but not for you or us. They believe in freedom of speech for them, but not for us. To quote Ado Annie from Oklahoma! “it is all for them but nothing for the other people.” This will make it so much easier to eliminate these pukes from the American scene, then the final accounting happens. If their enemies tried this, they would be screaming Nazis, Fascists, dirty rotten conservatives, but they are the Nazis, Fascists, dirty rotten conservative. What they do is un-American. Americans don’t shut down other peoples speech. Remember this when you hear the pipes and the piper is demanding his pay. The is not spontaneous! They are deliberately depriving other Americans of their constitutional rights. Of course, you won’t see obama, the MFWIC, defending the other peoples rights or enforcing the law of the land. Impeach obama! These pukes are doing this for him. Doesn’t this qualify as organized crime
Moveon.org also taking some credit for organizing the protest. This is a shameful attack on democracy, freedom of speech and the right to assemble.
I wonder how many of these “protesters” will vote for Trump next week, to screw over the Republican Party.
I thought they opposed Trump. Why would they want to vote for him?
Well allot of Blacks feel pretty cheated by Obamba, “Hope & Change Folks”.
Now it’s time to vent – “We was Robbed”!!!
Watched CNN’s coverage for about 1/2 an hour before I could stomach it no longer.
The emotion in the hosts and supporting actors was palpable as they blamed Trump INCESSANTLY for inciting people to be violent. His “punch a protester in the face” comment from weeks ago coming up in EVERY conversation, seriously, like they were trying to sell it as the sole cause.
It was clear to me that CNN, along with much of the media, are really the guilty ones promoting intolerance and hatred in this campaign. To that end, I wish I had the skills to put together a video montage of CNN guests calling Trump a racist. It would have to be impressive…… long, anyways.
When interviewed, Trump was often rudely interrupted, as was the odd Trump supporter they put on.
Not mentioned even once in their coverage, not even hinted at, was the Democratic Party or any possible involvement from them.
Trump was given NO CREDIT WHATSOEVER for working with the police and postponing the event to let the situation safely dissipate. I thought he explained his actions very well, though.
I am left to wonder how the US’s massive partisan rift and broken political system could ever find a leader able to unite it’s people.
The sympathy for Trump will be huge.
If these people are at all like the Ferguson protestors and the Occupy lay abouts they will hand the nomination and the Presidency to the Donald.
PowerlineBlog says that with no sense of irony the protestors celebrated their success by chanting “This is what democracy looks like.”
No, you jerks, this is what liberal fascism looks like
There has been that fear for quite some time that Obama will use an excuse of some sort for an emergency extension of his presidency.
Where is the ACLU when you need them? I remember they were all over making sure neo- nazies could parade thru Skoie I’ll.
The claim by Moveon.org to have organized this protest and shutdown was also mentioned on FoxNews. Isn’t George Soros a big financial contributor of Moveon.org? Is not George Soros a big friend of Obama and by extension of van Jone, Alinsky, and Bill Ayers? It is starting to look like 2 + 2 equals 4 is what is happening here.
Soros wasn’t satisfied with interfering in Canada’s election through the Tides foundation last fall, and now wants to keep the people from taking back their government from the establishment.
It is fascinating to watch what seems to be a polarization in the country between a communist and a fascinating non establishment character like Trump.
As other have suggested, I expect that this confrontation will escalate over the summer.
hello earth. I’m a space alien and I’ve been watching the primaries with interest.
Mitt Romney opposes Donald Trump.
Mitt Romney represents the traditional back-room-boys-I-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine back room boys old guard crowd.
Protesters disrupted the Trump rally scheduled in Chicago today.
Does that mean the protestors are in favour of Mitt Romney and his ilk, or are they just troublemakers bent on chaos mayhem and anarchy?
It’s going to be a long hot summer boys and girls !
Total miss bud. Obama opposes Trump. Hillary opposes Trump. Mediocre professors oppose Trump. Progressives oppose Trump. Chicago is Dem Obamaland; possibly some correlation here eh?.
Hint: Romney didn’t send the violent lefty jackbooters over to shut Trump down.
There’s no logic in asking if protestors are in favour of Romney, no they’re just bent on chaos, mayhem & anarchy, without any reference to Romney, wtf are you talking about?
Yer losin it 60s man.
Don Lemon on CNN interviewing Trump, and Trump demands to know why CNN is playing the same violent video clip over and over again for two straight hours when the protest had already largely been disbanded. Then CNN immediatley changes the feed to a live one showing the protest having disbanded, and Don Lemon sheepishly saying “it is now a live feed”. CNN was caught with their bias redhanded, but they don’t care.
Trump is absolutley correct in referring to the mainstream media as “dishonest”. I would go further and say that they are unmitigated, lying leftist scum that are biased in the extreme.
Heh, Peter, instapundit and PowerLine have picked up and linked to your QOTD here at small dead animals.
Be proud!
yo SHAMruck. it was a parody. a comical spin on ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’.
“Hint: Romney didn’t send the violent lefty jackbooters over to shut Trump down.”
aaaaaand I never said, hinted or even thought that. where did you get that?
you’re the one losing it. or to use the new age spelling standard, loosing it.
sheesh.
Gee, trouble in Chicago, deep blue and corrupt to it’s very marrow? Whoda thunkit?
The tolerant left.
Kate, could you please turn Autoplay off for the Livestream video? Thanks.
Ted Cruz blames Trump for the riot using ‘climate of hate’ type of argument.

Quote from the article: Kamran Siddiqui is a 20-year-old student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where the event was to take place.
He says: “Trump represents everything America is not and everything Chicago is not. We came in here and we wanted to shut this down. Because this is a great city and we don’t want to let that person in here.”
Says it all. Proud that they just trampled on the first amendment. Unreal! Left wing fascism is growing at an alarming rate and needs to be stopped. Is is any wonder it is growing when you have the likes of Clinton, Sanders, Obama, Bill Ayers etc pulling the levers of power?
Trump played this perfectly and these fascists just gave him a HUGE bump.
How many riots at hitlery klintoon and burny sanders rallies? It’s payback time. Why back down.
And some wonder why gun sales have gone through the roof since Obama became President…..wonder no more.
I recall that it was Obama who told supporters to “push back twice as hard.” Then he had some advice on knives at gunfights. Of course the media shills for Obama will forget that history.
It seems like more than simple coincidence that similar uprisings took place in Russia almost exactly 100 years ago.
Chicago Values.
Next time Trump supporters need to bring a gun..
[Protesters were spilling over into the streets.]
Good- Burn the frigging place down.
Enjoy watching many of them cop shot and injured..

1968…. a Canadian, an Englishman and an American ….. made their fortune and forever defined how yuts should behave … at least in “Chicago”. Ah, baby Boomers. They did indeed change the country. One the other hand, it’s now 2016 and nothing really happened in Chicago. What a disappointment for the new generation. There will be no songs, no fond memories …. it will be vaguely dissatisfying to think back on.
Lyrics:
Though your brother’s bound and gagged
And they’ve chained him to a chair
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Just to sing
In a land that’s known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won’t you please come to Chicago
For the help that we can bring
We can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It’s dying … to get better
Politicians sit yourself down
There’s nothing for you here
Won’t you please come to Chicago
For a ride
Don’t ask Jack to help you
‘Cause he’ll turn the other ear
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Or else join the other side
We can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It’s dying … if you believe in justice
It’s dying … and if you believe in freedom
It’s dying … let a man live his own life
It’s dying … rules and regulations, who needs them
Open up the door
Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won’t you please come to Chicago
Show your face
From the bottom of the ocean
To the mountains on the moon
Won’t you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place
Handled well by Trump this time, but I see trouble ahead. Much of this is orchestrated by Soros and Moveon. They also were busy manipulating the Canadian election behind the scenes and were effective in creating a false narrative that Canadians found persuasive in sufficient numbers to create Liberal (globalist) majority. Things have been going swimmingly for Soros and the others with plans for a global socialist government. They are not about to let Trump ruin their plans.
Also ” Black Lives Matter ” and Bill Ayers. Common denominator: all advocate a Marxist/ left police state ( run by them, of course ) .
Notice their refusal to allow those who oppose them to peacefully assemble, as guaranteed by the Constitution?
Notice also they were fighting the police in the streets? Wonder why Rahm Emanuel refused to call out a large police force to keep the peace? He is a member of this ” progressive ” left thugocracy, and was Obama’s chief thug ( chief of staff )until his current gig.
This type of interruption should be planned for, and Trump and all other Republican candidates should publicly demand much larger police force presence.
well, ya, the ‘mercun solutions to problems include acquisition of some sort of firearm.
being a student and first hand observer of history, this rally disruption trick is somewhat similar to what the nazis were doing early in their growth and development.
and critics and media are concerned about Trump?????
Josef Goebbels was a master and pioneer in the application of propaganda. it is necessary in war to familiarize oneself with the numbers and function of the enemy’s weaponry.
