    "And here to introduce Donald Trump.....a black guy not named Ben Carson!"

    I saw them interview this ass-clown pastor before he introduced Trump. The dude could not answer the easiest softball questions tossed in his direction.

    I don't know what kind of money Trump donated to the pastor, but you can bet the church either had empty pews on the following Sunday....or were full to bursting with people wanting to catch sight of some sort of circus freak.

    Seriously....the dude could not provide any sort of satisfactory answer to the easiest questions as to why in the world he would possibly support Trump.

    Oh, and back to Carson....caught him on the Today Show. Again....it's painful watching anyone trying to defend their public support of Donald Trump, no matter their color.

    That is pretty impressive, how you managed to get so many falsehoods rammed into such a brief comment. And I suspect you probably know these comments are false as well.

    Where to begin....

    1. Cruz supporters are not supporting Trump. They are supporting his property rights under the law and his constitutional right to freedom of speech, regardless of how habitually dishonest or offensive his tone and message are.

    2. Ted Cruz put the responsibility for the violence on the criminal leftists who have instigated the disruptions at Trump's campaign events. Here are some quotes of his actual comments on this subject below:

    2. Cruz denounced the tone of Trump's campaign, which has at times openly encouraged violence during his rallies, by offering to pay the legal fees of people sucker punching the criminal leftists who have infiltrated his rallies, and also in a variety of other ways.

    While Ted Cruz and his supporters believe that Trump is right to stand up to these criminals, this sort of rhetoric does not help. Rather, it just serves to inflame the situation. This is the sort of juvenile posturing that we all remember from high school. "I am going to kick your ass!", "F you!", and other similar posturing and intentionally provocative banter. Nothing good comes from that kind of talk. And hopefully we can nominate a Republican presidential candidate who we can expect better from than this.

    I don't give a flip about Trump's right to peacefully assemble, he doesn't care about others so why should others care about his?

    You are spot on.

    The far left has made me agree with Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter and bigtexx in the last three days. This thing has turned on its head.

    The true spirit is coming out. In defense of American ideals, these "protesters" are willing to throw American ideals in the garbage. In the spirit of anti-violence, these "protesters" incite violence. The hypocrisy is off the charts.

    I'm not against it, Trump is the one against it.

    So apparently people are supposed to be cool with their rights being taken away from them. LOL at that logic.

    So you blame the protesters for the violence, not Donald Trump's crowd for attacking them?

    Nope, you have bought into the Trump narrative that he's the poor victim here.

    He's threatening to take away rights, so people who are scared of their rights being taken away are rightfully letting him know that they are not going to have it.

    This shouldn't be ANY surprise to anyone honestly. Did you think Civil Rights protesters quietly protested off in a corner to be ignored? No, they invaded any space they could so that they could be heard. Martin Luther King led protests that took over highways and intruded into secluded white neighborhoods.

    Protesting about rights is no joke, as Trump will find as he continues his war against the first amendment. Also yes, protesters can be arrested and removed from private property...but that doesn't mean that we should excuse them getting abused by Trump supporters as some are doing here. "Well, they shouldn't be in there any ways!"

    When people go looking for fights and find them, I am not at all surprised and I certainly won't take the side of the instigators. Those Bernie supporters that shut down a peaceful assembly are in the wrong.

    And don't tell me I am buying a certain narrative when you're buying a narrative at the same time (the media's).

    You know, what's the point in arguing with these people? Yeah, the protestors are the ones who deserved to be kicked, choked, elbowed, etc.

    These are the same people who would argue, "You know, James Harden really is an elite defender, but it's his teammates that are causing the problem... if they would just put him in situations that would allow him to be a great defender, he'd be another Dennis Rodman!"

    ...

    If you agree with Ann Coulter who wishes there were more violence at these rallies, then you really are sick in the ****ing head.

    Yes, they're in the wrong, and they deserve to be dealt with properly- which is called EJECTION FROM THE VENUE OR ARREST BY THE POLICE. Not getting their ass kicked- we're not in middle high, you ****ing dolt- it's called ASSAULT, that which you are advocating, which makes you an even more enormous imbecile than I thought was possible.

    Don't like what I'm saying? You wanna kick my ass? That's your ****ing mentality- if they protest, assault them!!! Dumb ****.

    The general position on this thread has been:

    The protesters are dicks.

    The people who think this is a First Amendment issue don't know anything about the First Amendment.

    You can think both.

    I agreed with one tweet she made, not every thing she said. I absolutely hate Ann Coulter...

    This is the problem with the anti-Trump hysteria. Everything immediately gets taken out of context and dialed up to an eleven.

    Anyone who would support Trump is "sick in the ****ing head", so it shouldn't be surprising that they'd say other things that would make you think that.

    There is plenty of blame to go around.

    Trump has made inflammatory statements for political reasons. A consequence is possible violence.

    The far left is intolerant, from the BLM to the activities on college campuses and "protesters" at the Trump rallies.

    We will see what happens.... but I suspect a lot of Americans are looking at all the people involved and shaking their heads... no one looks good.

    There's no point talking to him- he's one of those who thinks it's OK for people to assault protesters- you'll never get through to him. Like I said, the more Trump does and says stupid things, the more they get off on it as a badge of honor.

    It's a perverse form of antidisestablishmentarianism.

    Everything? Do you need a reminder of all the bull**** things he's said and done? Or is him putting down POWs not enough for ya?

    It's actually a reaction to crap just like this. The anti-Trump people are so wrapped up in this stuff that they cannot see the damage they are doing to their own message.
