I certainly would expect leftists to devolve into shutting down free speech, or even resorting to violence, when they don't like what someone else stands for or says. That's the nature of their philosophy on campuses today. How else do they interpret Bernie's calls for revolution? The unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers even has his nose poking in.
To me this is two sides of the same coin. Dissatisfied reactionaries of the left or right calling each other names, resorting to violence and pointing fingers.
Bullsh#t. Those folks you mention are fringe; trump is the leading candidate of a major party.

The liberal rhetoric drumbeat is strong today. You guys have extra granola in your wheaties this AM?
Or just whistling louder past the graveyard?
The fact that there are so many people willing to support a tard like Trump is an indictment on how crappy your Bernie/Hillary options are as well.

Good post, Larry, although way too even-handed for this loony bin.

Larry and dirt bag are both right. There are some far leftists willing to incite violence and take things too far. But for every one of them there are 10, 20, 30 or something that far to the right. I watched the video where the guy tried to get on stage with trump. So you have one nutty lefty. But you hear people all around the camera screaming obscenities and calling for violence. Really weird third world country type stuff.
What's really lame though is so many on the right assume if you are not conservative you are are far lefty. As the posts above indicate.
Trumps support says very little about the dems. And very much about the right. Many are bigots. If the majority of republicans were reasonable anyone but trump would be leading.

Thanks fet.
And again, there is a difference between a few fringe folks doing this (Bill Ayers' day was over 40 years ago) and THE LIKELY REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT doing this.
Has Sanders threatened to beat any protestor? Hillary? For that matter, do you see this at Cruz or Rubio rallies? What about other major presidential campaigns in the last 50 years (except for, perhaps, George Wallace)?
This both sides do it equivocation is both dangerously wrong and lazy. Donald needs to be called out for this. This is a dangerous, and recent, rot that is exclusive to that campaign.

His approval rating with republicans is 49 percent, 26 percent of register voters are republican, do the math.

C'mon people, Trump is a humanitarian. Here he is scolding his supporters for sucker punching Ben Carson. He even gave Ben a Trump steak to ease the pain ;-)

I believe in free speech..but i also believe trump has incited violence. This is a quote from a article that i read this morning that resonated with me.
"The implications of this for what President Trump might do in the White House are terrifying and go well beyond any dispute over public policy.
"The framers of the Constitution rather sharply circumscribed the president's authority to make and repeal legislation, making it in many respects a weaker office than the prime ministerships of more majoritarian countries. But the president and his appointees have enormous discretion over the enforcement of existing laws. Putting a leader who would condone violence against the supporters of his political opponents in charge of the federal law enforcement apparatus is frightening. Giving him the power to unilaterally issue pardons is terrifying. "
I see why trump admires putin..
Btw..The Fet...The man on the stage spoke on NPR this morning..

WOW Kevin Swanson = psychopath. That speech in the Rachel Madow link is shocking.
Limbaugh begat Cruz and Cruz begat Trump. All together they will bring down the Republican party in a politapocalypse of Biblical proportions.

HFCS,
anyone that relies on religion to guide them morally are incapable of doing it themselves. Have you seen this in DT?
Nita, the people initiating the violence at Trump rallies are the protesters.
If someone doesn't like what you are saying and you are physically attacked by them, it is your fault. This is your logic.

Pud, no.. that is not my logic.
Later edit, dirtbag ..wrote some of my logic below..
I'm not a fan of explaining myself over & over..It's tiring..
Especially when it's obvious to me ..and most of the whole world..read practically every international paper.

Pud you're wrong. This is what your guy says:
Here is what Donald Trump said at a rally on February 1 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (via Mediaite):
"if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of 'em, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise."
Here is what Donald Trump said at a rally on March 4 in Warren, Michigan (via the Associated Press):
During one interruption, Trump said, "Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do I’ll defend you in court."
"Are Trump rallies the most fun?" he then asked the crowd. "We’re having a good time."
He then recalled an incident at a New Hampshire rally where a protester started "swinging and punching." Trump said some people in the audience "took him out."
"It was really amazing to watch," he said.
Here is what Donald Trump said at a rally on March 9 in Fayetteville, North Carolina (via the Atlantic):
"See, in the good old days this didn’t use to happen, because they used to treat them very rough. We’ve become very weak."
http://www.vox.com/2016/3/11/11202540/trump-violent
And there is more.
Your candidate supports mob violence against political opponents.
I'm assuming you're just ignorant about this but you are ignorant no more.
