After years of “Occupy”, burned out communities, and assassinated police officers?
…it is doubtful the Left has actually shut the Donald down. They’ve most likely supercharged him. Saul Alinsky taught his disciples that confrontation — of precisely the kind that just transpired in Chicago — radicalized people far more efficiently than speeches, and exhorted organizers to seek every opportunity, not to “get along”, but to let it all hang out. By that standard the Trump supporters have been given a master class in radicalization. Because the rally has merely been postponed or relocated, it’s better than even odds that tonight’s fireworks will attract as many people for the rematch as it repels.

Been reading deluded statements- from the self identifying right, ie Cruz – justifying this protest by the violent tax suckers, funded by the left’s very own 1%er, Sorors.
Eyebrow raiser.
They claim victory – but they only fought a battle the war is still on and very likely Trump gained traction on this.
People are PO’d this am state side.
Seen at rally:” Vote 4 Trump, you get jumped” tee shirt. Why wasn’t that person arrested for incitement?
Why weren’t there more police detailed to an event this large?
“Why weren’t there more police detailed to an event this large?”
Probably on purpose.
From a Chicago Police Officer:
“Free Speech looks pretty bloody to the thin blue line: The media is downplaying the “protests” as isolated. It seems they aren’t broadcasting footage of the debris being thrown across Harrison by Sanders/Hillary supporters at Trump fans. They also aren’t mentioning the hordes running through the UIC parking structure breaking the windows of cars with Trump 2016 stickers. We haven’t seen any mention of the Eisenhower takeover, nor the Incident Team call-outs from assorted Districts. It’s almost like they’re ashamed that the UIC {University of Illinois, Chicago} tradition of supporting leftist terrorists (Ayers and his spawn) has come home to roost.”

Here’s Cruz’ comment at Rolling Meadows IL regarding the invasion:
“The responsibility for that lies with protesters, who took violence into their own hands.” His swipe at Cruz did not negate that in any way. You and Trump have a little difficulty in reporting what actually was said. If Trump loses, it is because he lies about his opponents. Do you want another Obama who will do whatever it takes to get his way?

It is amazing! This Canadian observer well into his seventh decade, who in business and travel spent some five decades observing the American Scene.
What is amazing are the how the left-leaning media, PJ MEDIA is now at least a left left-leaning media outlet, enhances the few, as opposed to the many situations of intimidation and violence of the Left. One only has to move past the progressive Bias of the media lecturers to see when and where the reality lies.
First the setting is Chicago, much more than probably the most corrupt of urban centres in the U.S.A. Any Ward Healer has the capability to bring out Hundreds, even a thousand goons to disrupt and possibly initiate violence at a meeting/rally.
Looks like any other blended effort of reporting trying to fit in by going along.
The new global conservative slogan:
“We may not win the elections. But we WILL win back our freedom!”
When told by some leftist scum “you are free”, the reply is simply:
“We may not win the elections. But we WILL win back our freedom!”
It seems the time has come… You may not be interested in war. But war is interested in you…
The First Amendment To The Constitution under direct attack.
Meanwhile CBC/CTV even covering the Trump phenomena as much as some American media. To me it seems they are obsessed with the “danger” of a Trump presidency. What can be the matter with them? Maybe they can be got to say “we won’t go over to the USA if Trump elected”.
See if that actually works out.
Glad to see Real Conservative Ted Cruz go full-on Cuckservative last night. If you can’t stand up (full stop) for the unfettered free speech of people and ESPECIALLY those you’re running against, you’re dead to me.
Trump/Mattis 2016.
Sean, I will second that recommendation.
When they blame Trump for the Left’s organized violence, Cruz and Rubio both show themselves to be on the wrong side of the cultural divide.
As Glenn Reynolds suggests, Trump should file suit against MoveOn.org etc. for violating his First Amendment rights, since the legal discovery would be awesome.
Last night was prologue to the GOPe convention.
The logic of the radical defenders is something to behold, its all moral relativity,a ll the time.
They say they were only expressing THEIR 1st Amendment rights.
They say that Trump chose NOT to express his, they didn’t shut him down (but many of the radicals exclaimed that, in fact they did just that).
Let’s face it, they came for a full on riot, and would have used that for THEIR propaganda, and yes, it would have been bad news for Trump.
Instead, Trump is the victim, congrats lefty idiots, the worm has turned. They made Trump a victim.
Did anybody see Fox’ John (JD of muchmusic fame) Roberts doing street interviews afterwards? He was interviewing a young Trump supporter, while some young, filthy foul mouthed little vagina was screaming feet away, interrupting. JD stops his interview, turns to her, and the camera does too, and all of a sudden, young Ms SJW Foulmouth goes deathly silent. “Well, why are you here tonight, here’s your chance to speak.”
“I don’t really have anything to say”, she squeaks out. Pathetic. The radical youth of America, foulmouthed, MOB rule, but individually, pipsqueaks! Tried to find it on Utube, but, not there yet.
There were so many of those moments last night, foul mouthed, useless yutes, just being obnoxious to all, for no reason other than to be Chitown jerks.
The prologue would be Trump’s appearance at Cleveland today, since that’s where the GOP convention is being held.
On the other hand, it’s not that far away from Chicago and the Bill Ayers robots.
I don’t agree at all with the tone of the PJ Media article. Here is are far more valuable analysis of the Chicago/low GPA “student” fascism:
“I have no doubt that the perpetrators of last night’s lawlessness applaudingly condoned the likening of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, all the while engaging in real actions straight out of the playbook of the Sturmabteilung – the infamous “Brownshirts.” Mechanically enforcing the will of the Nazi Party, the Brownshirts disrupted meetings of opposing parties, employing force and violence to make their mark and discourage dissent. This is precisely what these thugs did last night, abandoning the law and civil discourse to perversely embrace the tactics of a man and a party they witlessly accuse Trump and the Republican party of embodying.”
The left paint themselves as eminently tolerant of others, but that façade crumbles when put to the test. Just look at the excoriation of Caitlyn Jenner by the left when the transgendered reality star made supportive statements about Ted Cruz. Last night was not at all different. Trump comes to Chicago, where he has many supporters, but his leftist detractors rule the day through intimidation, violence, and anarchy. The mob ruled last night, giving the civil political process our nation has long enjoyed a miss.”
This ideology says, “If I don’t like what you have to say, it’s perfectly justifiable to shut you down.” Of what else is such an ideology capable? History gives us the answer, and it’s deeply troubling. To be sure, it’s a long road from point A to point Z, but for those to whom the end justifies the means, it’s a smooth, straight road.”

That photo Kate posted above may be ten years old, but it is a prime example of where this is going. Notice the “socialist” sign on the left.
Shamrock links to an American Thinker article by Shelby Williams, and Shelby is right, what happened in Chicago is right out of the 1930s Brownshirt playbook. It is worth noting that this is also out of the playbook of the 1930s Communists (Spartacists League)of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. Only now it is ideologically led by Ayers and Alinsky and financed by George Soros. Sanders is just the political face.
As has been mentioned in this blog many times, the communist infiltration of our educational system decades ago has led directly to this.
This will escalate further.
Conform, or the goons are sent it. Yes. Got the message.
The left has been sowing the seeds of America’s destruction ever since Clinton’s e/re election. It was during the Clinton Admin. that Ted Kennedy successfully expanded (greatly) America’s legal immigration (last year America admitted 1.7 million LEGAL immigrants … more than the rest of the world combined). Add to that tuning a blind eye and passive enforcement to ILLEGAL immigration, and you get a massively DIVIDED America. Divided, because today’s immigrants are NOTHING like yesterday’s immigrant (or refugees). Yesterday’s immigrants are among the MOST vehement defenders of the American Constitution and Liberty, BECAUSE they were escaping failed Communist states. They see Liberty and Freedom as the ONLY way to live, because they have lived without it. This is true of nearly all Cuban, Asian, and Eastern bloc immigrants and refugees.
But for the last 30 years, America has been importing and breeding an underclass of people who believe that America is “rich” and OWES them something. Add to that the average guilt-ridden liberal living in a secure suburb, and you have 50% of America actually voting FOR government oppression. Oppression, in the form of income redistribution, and silencing FREE SPEECH. The mob organized to disrupt Trump is the product of liberal immigration policies (and a radical leftist, divisive, president). We won, they chanted, as the Trump rally attendees exited the parking garage. When WINNING is defined as squelching FREE SPEECH be it on a college campus, or campaign stop (both in this case), America is well on its way to a Maoist revolution. Immigration policies (legal and illegal) coupled with generous child welfare payments have incentivized the breeding of a HUGE American underclass (the middle and upper classes have a negative rate of population growth). Add to this a disappearance of well-paying middle class jobs, and America is breeding the seeds of mass unrest and violence. If these destructive conditions continue, America will soon be governed by the underclass … and we know what happens then … Every Communist Revolution … and Hitler’s Germany … were built on mass poverty and social unrest by the underclasses. America has reached the tipping point of Revolution. Thank you Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and guilt-ridden liberals … you will soon get what you wanted … only it isn’t going to be the peaceful Disney movie you imagined. It’s gonna get UGLY.
… and Saint Ted blamed Trump.
Dirty filthy bunch of stinkin bolshevek crinimals thats what its like living under a dictator and Obama is the all time #1 worst presidents in americas over 200 year history its just these idiots are like programed robots or mindless zombies
This a tune-up like the 1968 Communist Riot in Chicago (Democrat City & State) but the descendants of the 1968 Crack heads plan a repeat in Philadelphia because they can’t beat Trump….Philly will be a blood bath, but it is easy to lock down the Bridges & all Transport. This time they will pay to play. Philly, like Baltimore, is a basket case that needs some burning & looting
The Presidential Race is determined by WINNER TAKE ALL in each State.. It does not matter if Trump or Hillary wins California by 1 vote or 5 million.. The popularity count does not accumulate Nationally … Trump will Win all Republican Sates plus the East Coast & Swing State Ohio & Florida, Michigan sealed the fate Hillary….
Communist thugs need a tune-up and NJ wood chippers need a Rev-up.. bring it on, the sharks are hungry.
Oh, don’t hold back, tell us what you really feel about MrZero.
Some of you mentioned Bill Ayers.
Well, he was there, in person, in all is glory, posing and nattering on in front of the cameras.
This is just the beginning. There will be an attempt (at least one) on Trump’s life before this all ends.
Both Cruz and Rubio have outed themselves as the haters they claim Trump is. Projection at it’s finest.
Sen. Marco Rubio argued it’s Trump’s rhetoric that is inciting violence at his events.
==========================
What??? The fascist goons attack in order to shut down a candidate’s first amendment rights and it’s Trump’s fault?
I expect such nonsense from the MSM but from a Republican candidate? My respect for Rubio was lukewarm at best but that comment just dropped it to zero.
Perhaps you should re-read my comment and take a breath before you hastily post.
Same here and I’ve been fairly neutral, up til now, on who Americans pick. Re: between Cruz & Trump.
Last nights events have been very revealing.
cruz is a super duper bible banger, and Rubio isn’t far behind him. And some in here are surprised at their antics, shame on you. There are a few hater bangers in here, they are quick to denigrate any one who does not fit the “mold”.
I hope some of the other candidates that dropped back Trump, just like Carson has. I have never like Trump much, but he is the cure for what ails American, and the rest of the west.
Trump said Jeb! was low energy.
That turned out to be true.
He said Cruz was nasty.
That turned out to be true.
He said Rubio was a choke artist.
That turned out to be true.
He dubbed Marco “little Marco”.
That turned out to be true.
He didn’t say he was a little prick.
Had he, that would have been true too.
My support of Trump was on again off again.
It’s now permanently ON again.
Trump’s appearance on the scene is a historically significant event win or lose.
The Great Revealer!
Hey Hillary! Did that old guy in California make another video and get “your streret” riled up?
What will a presidential debate between Trump and Hillary be like? Does anybody think that Trump will bend over and do a fixed debate like the previous Republicans have? I see him arranging it so it’s fair to both parties. More importantly I see him hammering Clinton on Benghazi and many other things over and over. He’s not going to put up with crap like “You have two minutes to talk about global warming Mr Trump”.
This could be great television.
They even got that “Worst President Ever” sign wrong. The picture’s not of Obama or even LBJ or Woodrow Wilson or Carter — all nominees for the worst ever title.
“Some of you mentioned Bill Ayers.
Well, he was there, in person, in all is glory, posing and nattering on in front of the cameras.”
Thank you for that Fuel Filter. This is not surprising, and no doubt he was instrumental in organizing this anarchist riot.
I wonder, is a picture of Dubya, apparently with a gunshot wound on his forehead, inciting of violence? These intellectual lightweights think others’ words incite (their) violence, so they must be shut down, even though they attack, with their language far more incendiary and promoting of hatred.
Oh I forgot, they’re correct, so since apparently Gaia is on their side, so violence is understandable. The truly ironic part, besides the fascist tendencies of the Trump haters, is these big mouth students, their idiot profs and the rest of the progressive establishment would be the first ones taken out in a truly fascist state, along with the entire LBTG communities and unionists, who for now remain useful idiots.
In any event, as government rises, its need for coercion of the citizens increases, who must be punished when they object to more and more taxation and state interference in their lives. When socialism’s inevitable failures become apparent, statists double down on the cause as the cure. This results in more societal breakdown, coercion and economic decline. With crisis assured, then statists have to impose ever more control over business, to the point of commanding the economy and eliminating freedom and dissension, always with violent results.
That is the A to Z Shelby Williams refers to in my link above. Economic failure and societal breakdown caused by socialism leads to totalitarianism, loss of freedom, and non-democratic socialism. Just ask the Venezuelans or those unfortunate souls who lived in the Sovietized state of East Germany – aka the German Democratic Republic. Democrat maybe, but never democratic, or free or prosperous, or secure.
Good to hear you get on board NME. I have no idea (well, actually I do, but not important here) how he will be as President; but he is was is needed at this time.
The N word is back in Play.. It means a worthless Black man that drowns in his Color….Obama is a N
person.. He never had the guts to admit he was a communist. The African American’s use the N word and know what it means.
Violence used to over-throw political democracy is the definition Communism… Round them up & charge them with treason….full stop. Bill Ayers belongs in a cell with Charlie Manson, sick bastards…
It was Carter that pardoned the Communists after 1968.. What a worthless buffoon..
The MSM is playing it’s swan song.. They are gone.. these enemy’s of America are the first targets.
IIRC correctly, Ted is still dead. Just like Mary Jo Kopechne, whom he did done kilt.
“…charge them with treason…”
Agreed. It has been so for a long time:
“I know not what treason is, if sapping and betraying the liberties of a people be not treason…”
Cato the Younger
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Climate change aficionados, LBGTQ, Trump/Harper haters, libtard libarts ‘students’, etc. are all the same people. They were united by an effective social media campaign to elect JT, and now their Lieberal masters have focused them on ‘stopping’ Trump. It matters little that they don’t have a vote in this race; they simply love to hate and Twits are easily manipulated by social media..
Events like the violence in Chicago will divide America. The number of people that are political hoodlums is incredible. The violent protesters obviously do not like what Trump has to say or the people that support him. To me this is the amazing thing. That people can abandon basic civility because they think some fantastic struggle is going on.
The consequences of this lack of civility should be criminal prosecution. I know it won’t happen because there is some kind of magic that happens when you assault people and smash things in the name of politics. They are simple criminals and should be treated as such.
When young, growing in a socialist country run by communists, we were always shown movies made in SU that showed how the national socialists in Germany came to power.
Got to tell you the Chicago goings on could be taken right out of them movies.
Maybe them Chicago socialists watched the same movies.
Now waiting, they start burning democratic headquarters and blame it on republicans or some such in the US of A.
Yeah, as the things are changing they go around in circles.
It seems to be the nature of things.
Trump, the showman, continues to amaze me.
He owns these media slime.
Last nights performance, pulled the illiberal democrats out into the open and exposed all 3 republican wannabes as gutless.
“Trumps rhetoric” caused these retards to attack other people and destroy other peoples property?
The muslim defence.
the emotional retard defence; “Look what you made me do”.
the libtard defence;”Everybodies doing it”.
Every person who cheers for Pam Geller just left, Rubio,Cruz and the other lame oh.
Personal responsibility.
Either you have it or you never get it.
Trump will slaughter Hillary and her sycophants in debate and blow her media cover to fragments.
The democrats are brittle.
You know the internet exists today so we can all see the full quote, right? That we don’t have to rely on the MSM as in the ’80s and earlier? Here’s just the last half of Cruz’s sermon:
“But I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence–to punch people in the face. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur.”
And here’s all of the video of Cruz castigating the rioters for 30 seconds and Trump for a minute-and-a-half about Trump’s “tone” having started it first:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmxBp4IFe_I
It’s only 3 minutes long; please watch it and make up your own mind.
“Events like the violence in Chicago will divide America.” That is one of the aims of the radical left. The left wants social upheaval to inflame the masses.
Lev and Cicero have it right.
Chicago, as well as Detroit, have been a hotbed for radical leftists for many decades. I have in my library a book, by Peter Arshinov with the title of “History of the Makhnovist Movement 1918-1921. Arshinov was a compatriot of Nestor Makhno, the anarchist leader in South Russia (Ukraine) during the Russian Civil War. The Preface was written by Voline, also a fellow anarchist from the same group. The book was translated by Americans, Lorraine and Fredy Perlman, and was printed in Chicago in 1974 by Solidarity, 713 Armitage Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60614. The same group also has a print shop in Detroit called Black and Red,Box 9546. There is a neat little logo at the bottom of the facing page that says”Abolish the Wage System, Abolish the State, All Power to the Workers, I.U. 450, Printing CO-OP
Btw, I agreed with your article on Poland on your blog.
Events like the violence in Chicago will divide America.
Events like the violence in Chicago HAVE DIVIDED America, ever since the riots of the sixties; it never stopped growing. That’s what will elect Trump.
I was watching and listening to the Fox News coverage. Bill Ayers was in action, along with ‘Black Lives Matter’ goons, protesters waving the flag of Mexico and Bernie Sanders signs, and university malcontents ripping up Trump posters…You are exactly right with your comment:
“What is amazing are the how the left-leaning media, PJ MEDIA is now at least a left left-leaning media outlet, enhances the few, as opposed to the many situations of intimidation and violence of the Left. One only has to move past the progressive Bias of the media lecturers to see when and where the reality lies.”
“Both Cruz and Rubio have outed themselves as the haters they claim Trump is. Projection at it’s finest.”
Yes, and add John Kasich to that list! (Disgusting!)
Megyn Kelly on Fox was driving the same message home as Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich did – that is, that Trump was to blame for the violence.
Cruz just committed political suicide. He f***ed up big time. He is desperate and made a huge strategic error. Pity. It changes nothing in the long run, as predicted it will be instant conservative Trump who will get the nomination. And he will win the presidency. And then for the following four years I will be mercilessly mocking those lemming morons who bought his sales pitch hook line and sinker.
Trump has to enjoy these stupid attacks, He didn’t even show up in Chicago Mafia Land and still bounced from 42 percent up to 45.4 percent.
Keep up the good work Black Lies Matter, and George Soros Morons…
The land of the Brave has a hollow ring for Cruz & Rubio.. etc. They are the problem that encourages the low life Communists & the false vision of political lies . The media plays the drums of retreat… How dare Trump challenge the sick bastards that pander in violence… Imagine true grit

Add the Justin lisp for authentic Liberal flavour.
What was the logo of the Purple Shirts of Obamanation?
SECU?
The goons who were attacking T.E.A rallies hoping to incite an incident .
Funny I did not see their Tshirts in the Chicago Rent a mob.
They are lying low?
Or ran out of funding.
