Keith Emerson dead at 71. Being investigated as a possible suicide. Advanced carpal tunnel syndrome meant he couldn't hardly play anymore. That's gotta be tough for a guy who lived for music. (just speculation of course, it's still under investigation.)

The way I understand it is pledged delegates from the primaries vote for their candidate on the first ballot. After that first ballot, if there is no winner, then all delegates are free agents, voting for whom they please.

I'm literally watching people on Fox News praising the protesters, because they "brought the focus onto Trump's outlandish policies" (paraphrasing).
So - the rules are set - start a riot at any campaign rally held by any candidate you oppose. Got it.
Posted by: ScoggDog at March 12, 2016 06:29 AM (qmMG2)
That being said, it does illustrate the crystal clear divide in this country and could drive five million new voters to the polls in November -- to vote for Trump.
As always, prefer Cruz, but Trump seems to be the 'fck you' candidate. The libs and progressives (spit) are playing a game which is highly likely to backfire.

Thus your children are singing some Latvian Folk Song, in Latvian, while the director weeps "It translates to 'my mule has eaten your potatoes...'" or something equally stupid. Thus you hear Hymn 288, "The Time An Apostle Fell Down," or some other ultra-obtuse song, and not Amazing Grace.
There are at least 200 great hymns.
There are at least 2,000 great songs, in English, that everyone knows and loves.
You go to church 52 times a year - is it too much to ask that at least ONE of the songs that they play be from "the Great Hymn Songbook?"
You go to see your kids sing maybe twice a year, Winter and Spring typically... is it too much to ask that they find mostly great classics?
Musical directors, please, grow up will ya?

J.J., I should also add that Republicans have their super delegates,
too, who are total free agents. So that means the second place
candidate in pledged votes going into the convention could win on the
first ballot thanks to those super delegates. And since super delegates
are party functionaries, pols and the like, it's a good bet not too
many super delegates would go for Trump.
Posted by: RickZ at March 12, 2016 06:36 AM (MjgAb)
Republicans have three "super delegates" per State. They are there to represent the Party and they are usually State Party big-wigs. They will vote what ever the Party wants.

If you're in Chicago, of all places, and your stated positions are a direct threat to Leftists/Statists, and a good chunk of your supporters are of the blue-collar variety, then shit is going to happen.
But Mario is more correct to say that the tone of all this was created and continues to be nurtured by Obama.
Cruz in this instance would have been wiser to just not say anything. Will this convert Cruz supporters to Trump? Doubtful. Unfortunately, it won't do the opposite either.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at March 12, 2016 06:43 AM (p4UlV)
Trump canceled the event himself. The Chicago PD gave the go ahead to
have the rally. The CPD said they had more than enough resources to
handle the crowd.

One of the local "news analysts" blamed Trump, asking why he continues to hold yuuge rallies just to "incite his supporters."
Because Chicago blacks can't possibly be responsible citizens.
Because eight years of the dog-eating crackhead telling his people to "get in their faces" and "punch back twice as hard" should just be ignored.
It's all Trump's fault.

So what do you think, horde? Does he get a better bounce out of showing up or canceling?

He got way more publicity with the cancellation than he ever could of with a peaceful assembly.

It would not surprise me if he had his personal hands on it. Remember in his younger days he was known for crap like that. But if he did, he better have his tracks covered well because if Trump gets any proof at all Sanders will be in court, both for civil damages and criminal.

I think he goes up. http://polling.reuters.com/#poll/TR130/filters/PARTY_ID_:2 That is the poll I have been following for a few months for trend lines and Trump took off again starting on the 10th after the debate after sliding quite a bit. Even though I was a teenager in 1968, Chicago riots do not go down well with the rest of the country if I recall correctly.

From this date in 1944 - Anzio, Italy
Mar 12, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal
Twenty planes (chased by Spits) came out of the clouds this morning. Two shot down by AA. Unknown number by the Spits. Bright sunny day turned to rain in night. Plans apparently have been changed again. Guess we'll never hit.
Those twenty planes probably were Flugzeugs. Good thing the Allies had Flugzeug abwehr Kanonen.

MoveOn would definitely do it. First they would hold a huge rally during which they would lie to the attendees about their "right" to disrupt the proceedings. They would hand out flyers and t-shirts. Then the masses would go out and do their bidding with religious fervor.

The "leader" (whether Crazy Uncle Bernie or Shrillery) doesn't have to be involved, just as the heads of the Five Families weren't directly involved when they ordered hits. The buttons can run those gigs on their own.
Interesting people supporting the protests, though. Bombin' Billy Ayers, Choom Boy's BFF, was there, and a lot of the Twitter crap from alleged "journalists" sounded like they wanted to be in the front lines waving their anti-Trump banners.

Then, after getting on the freeway, the car just died for no obvious reason. I had enough momentum to pull off to the right, fortunately being in the far right lane already. Then I got to stay there for a good hour, going through the nerve wracking experience of waiting for a speeding idiot to veer into the shoulder. It was amazing to note how many didn't have any lights on despite the poor visibility. If not for the rain I might have preferred waiting on the hillside along the freeway rather than in the car.
A tow truck from the Metro Patrol showed up, took me to the next exit and onto a surface street. No place nearby that might be able to fix the car and the patrol will only take you the minimal distance to get you off the freeway to a safe-ish location. At least it was near a cluster of fast food places, so I could get a long delayed late lunch.
It ended up being nearly six hours from the time the car died to when it was finally towed to the dealer nearest home and I could get a ride the rest of the way. Rush hour for some reason had become Rush Entire Evening, although the rain was long gone. It seemed like a perfect end to the day to have the tow take four or five times as long to cover the same distance I was attempting when the car died.
It could have been far worse but it really crapped on what had been an alright day up to that point.

Why isn't Ted Cruz giving us a lecture on the Constitution, NOW?
===========
""""Ted Cruz, second in delegates to Trump in the GOP race, said late Friday that the billionaire has created "an environment that encourages this sort of nasty discourse."
"When the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence, to punch people in the face, the predictable consequence of that is that is escalates," Cruz said. "Today is unlikely to be the last such incidence."""""
============
I've been telling people, for years...
You wait... You listen...
Sooner, or later,
They'll tell on themselves, every time.
EVERY... G'DAMN... TIME.
He just let us know, he's on the side of the mob of fascist assholes when it suits his purposes, and the Constitution is just a stage prop.

I have been coming here for a long time and I don't recall ever seeing Ace ban anybody for simply disagreeing with him. I have disagreed with him on a number of occasions and have never been banned.
Now often times a disagreement will turn into a shouting match with invective flying back and forth and he will request that a "cool-it be done. If that is ignored and the shouting continues he will ban.

Saying that Trump's "tone" contributed to violence is so fucking stupid. What votes was he going after with that remark? Rachael Maddow's?
Plus, Cruz can't handle a basic softball like "Do you believe the majority of Muslims hate the U.S.?"
The only answer to give if you want votes from 90% of Americans is "Of Course!".

is cause to reflect on how much easier some stuff has gotten in my lifetime, if you aren't desperately poor. I had a cell phone which gave me both voice and email communications, not to mention some games if I wasn't too worried about the battery. I also had my old Blackberry cell phone, that I use as an audio book player. Normally I cannot just sit and listen to an audio book because it proceeds at a fraction of my reading speed. Which is why I main;y listen to books while driving or certain other activities that need a distraction but a limited one.Twenty years ago, in the same situation, I'd have had neither of those things to make it both easier to arrange rescue and pass the time. At best, I might have a book with me. If I'd been at all expecting to be waiting for a significant amount of time today, for whatever reason, I would have had my e-reader and mini-tablet along as well.
Larry Niven has a short story, 'Safe At Any Speed,' in which a far future traveler is flying along in his vehicle when it is eaten by a giant bird. He is safe inside the vehicle and the bird soon dies of the intestinal blockage. The traveler has to wait several months for the carcass to rot enough for him to get free and be spotted for rescue. (Some property of the bird's physiology blocked RF communication.) The vehicle had had not only kept him in perfect health, fed and clean, but also entertained. The one thing missing from the amenities is any means to keep his facial hair from growing out fully. He is told this was done intentionally by the manufacturer of the vehicle so that somebody who'd in a situation like his LOOKED like they needed rescuing.

apples, there were at least 3 different groups yelling 'N*****GS' at
groups of students, as well as 'go back to the middle east' and nicely
point out which way the crack house was.
All of these Trump groups were 35-45 year old men who looked out of

They could have gone back further to the Haymarket riot in 1886 where the same political ideologies were involved. Attitudes haven't changed. Union Labor who were convicted are celebrated as martyrs for the cause of social justice while the seven policemen who were killed by the bomb are defenders of law and order.
The same dynamic is at play again, the same ideologies. Obama feeds the resentment and encourages the mob while the rest of us want the mob restrained. Fools blame Trump for the provocation, because challenging the mob escalates the confrontation.
So for peace and domestic tranquility, let us all just give the political left everything they want, and then we will have peace.

I suppose but does a 2002 Ford Explorer even have a distributor cap? Hmm, a search seems to indicate it does. I'd hope a vehicle of that sort were better protected from that issue than a pure street vehicle.
If so, it is a bit disappointing. Back in the early 90s, there was a deluge in the San Fernando Valley so bad some people got stuck in the area near the Sepulveda Dam and had to be rescued from the tops of their cars by helicopter. I wasn't too far away, on Haskell, driving an Escort and worrying the high water was going to kill the engine and leave me stuck and waiting to see if it started coming inside. Fortunately, it just kept going and I made it to the higher ground of Ventura Blvd., and made much of my way home to Thousand Oaks along that.

Today, the radiation at the Fukushima plant is still so powerful it has proven impossible to get into its bowels to find and remove the extremely dangerous blobs of melted fuel rods.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power has made some progress, such as removing hundreds of spent fuel roads in one damaged building. But the technology needed to establish the location of the melted fuel rods in the other three reactors at the plant has not been developed.
"It is extremely difficult to access the inside of the nuclear plant," Naohiro Masuda, Tepco's head of decommissioning said in an interview. "The biggest obstacle is the radiation."
The fuel rods melted through their containment vessels in the reactors, and no one knows exactly where they are now. This part of the plant is so dangerous to humans, Tepco has been developing robots, which can swim under water and negotiate obstacles in damaged tunnels and piping to search for the melted fuel rods.
But as soon as they get close to the reactors, the radiation destroys their wiring and renders them useless, causing long delays, Masuda said.

If Obama is to be faulted for telling his followers to get up in people's faces and to punch back twice as hard, how is it any different that Trump (or anyone on "our side") do it? If it's wrong, it's wrong no matter who does it.
If, on the other hand, we're truly on the other side where it's time we adopt their tactics -- all of them -- then at least come out and say that's exactly what you're doing so no one is confused or can misinterpret you. Explain why you said it. Cite the damn precedent from the President and run with it.

No, the Trump supporters who wanted to hear him speak and showed up at a scheduled rally weren't responsible for any violence.
The fact you can't understand that is why you won't get past single digits in the upcoming primaries.

So blessed that given the enormous amount of truly terrible song-writing (I won't say hymnody) coming out of our Church in the last 50 years, the only English sung at our Mass is old stuff from old hymnals for the processional and recessional.
Everything else is in Latin, even the anthem selections for the kid's choir. They do a "Jubilate Deo" that everyone loves and always request. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

I'm only about 1/2-way through reading the comments, but have to ask.
About the canceled Trump rally in Chicago, folks have commented about what Rubio and Cruz said about it, but I didn't see quote or link to what they said. What did they say?
I read the whole ABC7 article someone linked about the thing. Does sound like it was already going out of control. "The police, they don't seem to be doing anything to get anyone out of here, so everyone in the parking garage started to get weapons out of their car, they're ready to fight," said a caller....
This is going to be a long (checks JJ's countdown) 241 days!
The protesters planning to disrupt the rally in the name of diversity and (as one gal said) "love" is really the height of hypocrisy - typical. I'd say what I think these guys seem like but I hate to go Godwin this early in the morning.

Problem is that the rivers, lakes and bayous are still rising.
Last summer, the Red flooded and water went into the 12 Mile Bayou in Shreveport, causing damage to some neighborhoods.
Now...eesh.
The Red, the 12 Mile Bayou, and a connected lake are all rising and will each flood.
Not good.
The river and bayou on the other side of us are also flooding.
I think we'll be okay here.

For common sense reasons if nothing else-
if you legitimize violence used against a rival now, no matter how finely parsed (see the actual statement)-
then what will you say when the violence is used against you, and it will be, for the same justification.
Remember, for these Brown Shirts, "violence" against them which requires a violent physical response, is free speech and opinions with which they don't agree.
For a Constitutional guy, you are de-legitimizing free speech, again- however finely parsed.
Severely disappointed.
Cruz may have just lost my primary vote.
I'll have to think about this.
however, I'll give him the Trumpian-24 hour Walkback
and see if common sense comes to him.

Geez, that is a stupid thing to say. Leftist violence is just that. And it's a well-worn tactic. I highly doubt Trump's bluster and "tone" had anything to do with this.
This is the second stupid thing Cruz has said in the last week. Calling out Trump's supporters as low info was truly stepping on his own wang. Way to win over Trump's supporters. He should've known better, even though I get what he was trying to say.

Ted Cruz is responding to Donald Trump's cancellation of his Chicago rally, saying the billionaire has created an environment that encourages this sort of nasty discourse. The Texas senator is calling it a sad day.
He says, Political discourse should occur in this country without the threat of violence, without anger and rage and hatred directed at each other.
Cruz says blame for the events in downtown Chicago rests with the protesters but, in any campaign responsibility starts at the top.
Cruz says, 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. Today is unlikely to be the last such incident.

I wouldnt assume that the only reason, if that, he killed himself was bc of carpel tunnel. Old age has an effect on your thoughts. Also in the mix is that so many people you know have already died.
Good point. I've heard that he was battling depression too.
What a waste and a shitty thing to do to your family and friends. I say this having dealt with the aftermath of suicide myself.

Thanks for the vid link, Tim in Illinois. Haven't listened yet, but did sorta grok what was said from comments here.
As Lady in Black said, 2nd stupid Cruz statement in a week. Imprudent and impolitic. The candidates seem so focused on attacking each other, they forget who the real main enemy is!
But in a time packed with stupid, imprudent, impolitic politicians, Cruz gets knocked down two notches and still stands above the others as Presidential. Sad times, though, all around.

What I read was that Trump cancelled the rally himself. The Chicago PD honchos claim they didn't tell him to cancel. I can believe that either cops on the scene or the Secret Service thought it might be best if he did, and said so. In any case, it was a smart move: why give the thugs what they wanted?

They probably have interpretive dances for the chickens, relaxing them and tenderizing the meat.

If the cops told him it had to be canceled. What could he do? It was out of control and I'm guessing Rahm allowed it by not having enough cops in the area or letting them act accordingly. After St. Laquan McDonald, little Rahm is letting the savages run wild.

I'm keeping an eye out for what Cruz does now, and how he does it. If he succumbs to the temptation to fall in line with Gope, he will effectively kill any chance he has at a future shot at the nomination.
2016 is not going to be his year. He must know that already. Regardless of whether we have a President Trump or Clinton or some other Incubus/Succubus President this year, he would have a shot at 2020, IF AND ONLY IF he continues to sell himself as apart and outside the Gope Washington Establishment Industrial Complex.

that they remember and publically speak to the fact that-
this is happening because we have
a CiC who is a "community organizer" who has constantly called for violence and used violent images and metaphors in his speeches beginning back in 2007 until the present time-
and whose DOJ refuses to prosecute leftist violence and intimidation (ex. Black Panther voter intimidation)
again, beginning in 2008 until today.
Why don't all of you speak to that forcefully-

Late as always, I am.
Anyway, I'm heavily involved in the music minisy at my parish and assist the director in choosing the music for our liturgies. We get this all the time. Music directors are in a Catch-22. No matter what you choose, you're going to have people who hate it. One week it's the above, the next it's people demanding the old hymns, the next week it's people asking for 60's hippie dippy folk music. One week everything is too loud, the next they can't hear the cantor, the next they didn't know the song well enough to sing it, the next they're bored with songs they know and want something new. Sometimes you feel like you just can't win.
It's extra hard, too if your liturgy is more formal. I'm Catholic and our parish is faithful, so we actually do have to try and fit the pieces to the readings and be mindful of the appropriateness of their tone, etc and so on. You would be amazed at how many people get mad at us because they didn't hear their favorite tune at this week's mass, and how they look at you like you've grown a third eye when you explain, for example, that their favorite tune is about Lazarus and the readings this week were about Baptism.
It's no-win.

I read in an article on this crap somewhere this morning that Trump's security people had learned that there was a plan by the protesters (many of whom were already inside the venue) to swarm the stage from many different positions once they received the signal. If true, it seems prudent to cancel, given that it would have been difficult for even the most-skilled security team to deal with so many threats coming from so many different directions at once.

==========================================
I go to a church with well over a thousand adults. All of them are 32 years of age, except for three people with white hair, of which I am one. They sing songs from Christian radio, which means lots of electric guitars and drums. Fortunately I listen to Christian radio, so I'm not totally lost. The words are on the screen too which helps. I like it. I like the old hymns too. It's all good, as long as it points to Jesus. Music is neutral. It's notes on a page. It's what you do with the lyrics that counts. Sing to Jesus. From your heart, sing to the God who loves you and gave Himself for you. As long as the songs do that, I'm good.

Which would probably take some extra time and effort I don't have to find out exactly what happened and how. Did they ask protesters to remove coats because they suspected they were carrying weapons? Did they get them back after finding none?
Obviously that would be very different from "they took their coats and sent them out into the cold!"
So like I said, I don't know, and I don't have much faith I'm going to find out. And what with Ace's meltdown yesterday on the Great Grabbing of Twenty Ought Sixteen, I'm probably going to assume AoSHQ is not going to be the source for accurate information on this topic either.

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 tradition of supporting leftist terrorists (Ayers and his spawn) has come home to roost.

Trump has taken a no holds barred rhetoric in the past when dealing with protestors at his rallies. Just short of calling for direct violence against them. Even so, I don't believe that is why the Chicago protest happened or why Trump is the main target of the communist / anarchist professional protestor scum. Trump started his campaign with language the opposition deemed racist. Corporations and organizations withdrew their dealings with Trump because of it. He then became the tool the left intended to use to paint the GOP as racist. Trump doubled down on the rhetoric . He then became the leading candidate for the nomination and the target was clarified . Whether true or not ( not true) , the meme on the Left is that Trump is a fascist and he must be stopped. It will continue to snowball as these things tend to do. If Trump had not become the lead candidate , he would have been ignored.

I honestly don't know what the truth is...
Maybe Ace can weigh in at some point and give us his opinion of what the real deal with Cruz is.
Here are the options:
1) Cruz knows that the vast majority of the base sees the Chicago rally thing as totally the left's fault, but he thought he would take the MSNBC side to get the press to like him.
2) Cruz actually thinks that republicans shouldn't have rallies where there are concentrations of minorities or others who would be offended at the views of conservatives.
3) Cruz thinks that republicans should be allowed to speak, even in urban areas, but that they should adopt views and "tones" to make their conservative views more attractive to liberals.
4) Cruz agrees with Trump, but doesn't have the courage to actually say it out loud.

with BurtTC on this one - I'd like to know what those protesters were
doing before that. Ever seen some of the shit they pull? It's pretty
fvcking outrageous. I'd like to know some more context.
But I don't think any more information is going to be forthcoming, and I've misplaced my give-a-shitometer.
Posted by: Burn the Witch at March 12, 2016 09:55 AM (Wckf4)
If I recall correctly, this sorta started with that Hispanic reporter who wouldn't shut up, and Trump made his blustery "get him outta here" comment, to much applause. And then the guy was seen back in the room minutes later.
Seems to be part of the show. Which, if this was professional wrasslin', some fans would be cheering and some booing.
I'm not seeing the difference, what with this being a Presidential race rather than wrasslin'.

5) Cruz sees the responsibility for this particular incident as the protesters', which is why he said it is their responsibility, but also sees Trump as at fault for encouraging that kind of behavior among his own people and because it is a primary focused on the second.
Posted by: Grey Fox at March 12, 2016 10:00 AM (bZ7mE)
Here's the deal that makes people worry about Trump
1. He pretends he doesn't know who David Duke is
2. He has a lot, and I mean a lot, of Storm Front fan bois
3. He jokes about punching protestors, seeming not to understand or care about crowd dynamics
4. He seems to be surrounding himself with people who are a bit coarse and occasionally ham handed in their personal interactions
5. He seems not to care about any of the above
I understand that is part of his charm, but it is also his curse. Is he just a strongman devoid of any deeper guiding principles? Does he recognize anything, any authority, that would constrain his behavior? Why is he so seemingly comfortable with his white nationalist support? He is a very smart man, no doubt he is aware of it. Now I hear you already screaming at me, "but Obama and the Dems never reject the BLM crowd and it's the same thing." This is true. But I reject the Democratic Party, in large part, because of their racially divisive tribalism. I won't embrace it here either.
This is what makes me uncomfortable with Trump

Romney sucks, oh and by the way, it was like the day after Romney came out with his plan to dump Trump that Allah and other bloggers we won't name went full out ballistic on Trump showing their hidden establishment credentials - they all suck.
Really, it seems, about half of the people in America right now are sucking.
I would like to see Florida, Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina, Missouri and the others come out on Tuesday and give Trump an 80% victory so that we can start to end this suck.

That's what did it for me. Well, that and his insanely stupid comments about how he would use the military and one other thing I've already forgotten because he's not even going to get my protest vote now.
As for this "encouragement to violence" and whatnot, I'm just not seeing much to be troubled about. Some of these people get insanely disruptive and aggressively antagonistic.
I'm pretty much a free-speech absolutist, so when you start talking about shifting responsibility to Trump for other people's actions, you start down a pretty ugly path.

Maybe McConnell did not lie to Cruz, and maybe that is the reason so few Senators are backing him now. Maybe Cruz realized he was going to hurt his Presidential chances by originally backing TPP and decided he needed a fall guy for openly supporting it.
Cruz could have just said he scr$ed up and changed his mind on TPP, but instead he went all theatrical by throwing Turtle under the bus.
I see Cruz in a different light this morning...

Insty has the right view on Democrat Brown Shirts-
and a nice solution:
"Exit question: Since MoveOn has been so public about taking credit, will Trump sue them for conspiring to deprive him of his civil rights? Because I would, and the discovery would be fascinating."
Not only would that discourage other Democrat-organized Brown Shirt activity-
it would give Trump a YUUUUGE boost in the polls.

>>>"I'm out" sort of posts are just bait for the banning -- I wouldn't want you to break your promise, after all. Staying firm to your promises is the mark of a man, and I want you to be Men. So the "I'm out" brigades are banned, in order to safeguard their own virtue.
Just my two cents, but that seems a little harsh. I've had a few meltdowns on here and I'd like to think I've matured since then. I would hope other people would have the chance to do a little maturing and have a second chance at coming back.

Nor does he have to... this election cycle has shown just how powerless the GOPe has become.

This is where we can point the blame at New York based right wing writers...
Somehow, writers who suppose to be on our side adopted the position that those people who opposed affirmative action (out of fairness and practical concerns) were KKK racists, ready to lynch anyone who looked sideways at one of their white women.
Instead of correctly identifying the real racists as being the liberals who support the public school teacher's unions and quietly accepting that urban kids can't learn because of some genetic inferiority, they point to republicans who demand accountability and results instead of just increasing spending.
Why our writers have this opinion, I don't know. But they have it ingrained in their souls that the farther away from the East Coast one goes, especially in a southern direction, the more racist people become.

Not nowadays - for some time. I'm glad we have conservatives like Shapiro and Coulter who will face the protesters to speak on campuses. We need GOP candidates who are willing to stand up to protesters, because the Left has been doing this crap for decades.
Cruz has been great with hecklers - he has the debate skills to engage them in a discussion, and it's typically just one or two hecklers. However, the yuuuge crowds like in Chicago are (intentionally) scarier. What is needed are authorities willing to stop them from inhibiting free speech.

The protesters were wrong and the police were wrong to give them the heckler's veto. Full stop.
Their action do not however mean that Trump hasn't been creating an uncivil atmosphere at his rallies and encouraging his supporters to commit violence. There have been multiple examples of this over the past number of weeks including the reporter that was assaulted and the incident in NC where one of his supporters punched a protester who had already been subdued and was being lead from the venue. The same protester was so emboldened, maybe because Trump has loudly said on several occasions that he would pay violent supporters legal fees, that he told the press "the next time we see him, we might have to kill him".

Yeah, I know its viscerally appealing to think of dumb hippie protesters getting a boot to the belly when they disrupt a speech but that's the price of liberty: you gotta let people be stupid jerks. Escorting them out for being disruptive is one thing, but beating them up in the process is another.
But here's the thing: in the past, hippies were pretty mellow. They would passively resist by being hard to drag out, but didn't fight back or try to avoid security. They considered being arrested a badge of honor, being dragged out was proof they were right (in their eyes). Today's idiots act like its some cosmic injustice that they aren't allowed to throw a tantrum, fight back, refuse to go, and run around trying to avoid the security like an infant, then try to sneak back in.
So, they're kind of encouraging rougher behavior to put a lid on that sort of activity quickly and efficiently.

I wish he had been a lot more aggressive about blaming the protesters and pointing out how bad the left has been in this area. However, he is also correct that Trump has been edging in the same direction, and that is a problem.
One thing that has to be recognized is that the "tit-for-tat" strategy for dealing with violence - advocated here in the comments quite often - is as likely to cause escalation as it is to force the other side to reconsider their actions. It is a paradox that feuding cultures have to deal with - the credible threat of reciprocal violence is an excellent deterrent, but once violence is committed it tends to continue until one or both sides are exhausted or completely destroyed. Beowulf has a lot of commentary on this.
Many moons ago I found myself arguing against those who advocated abandoning the Constitution temporarily in order to convince the left to agree to go back to the Constitution for mutual protection. I think this is an extension of the same argument.
The objection - that passivity gains us only defeat - is also true. OTOH, simply doing unto them what they have done to us is a recipe for escalation, not a return to civility and the Constitution.

No, that isn't the price of liberty. I don't get to walk into an event just to disrupt it. That's not liberty. That's purposefully trying to deny someone else their liberty. If you want to protest, do it outside the event.

HotAir: Conservatives align with Black Lives Matter in rush to find blame for Chicago protests
by Jazz Shaw
the truly dismaying part of last nights social media onslaught was the sight of #tcot conservative thought leaders gleefully joining ranks with the supporters of MoveOn, Black Lives Matter and Bernie Sanders operatives for the sake of blaming Donald Trump for a protest march and the cancellation of a what was undeniably an exercise in free speech.
I still believe that Donald Trump is far from the best choice for our nominee and that Ted Cruz offers us the best chance for victory with a solid conservative. But the more I see these over the top reactions to everything related to Donald Trump Im almost tempted to cast a primary vote for the real estate mogul just out of spite.
Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at March 12, 2016 10:53 AM (kdS6q)
That is at the ground level, of course, by the useful idiots.
Those further up the ladder are political (and when I say 'political', I mean in the Soviet sense) operatives/opportunists who know that the media will provide their thuggish mobs with upbeat positive spin.
You will have a very difficult time finding in the MSM any criticism of what happened last night. There will not be editorials denouncing organized intimidation, because, after all, intimidating (and even blaming) Trump supporters is perfectly fine with them.

peacefully protest outside, fine. But I don't care if they beat up
inside the event hall. They are there to ruin the event for everyone
else and deny them their 1st Amendment rights.

The idea was that the state was not to own and operate the companies, since the businessmen were more adept that that, but to control various elements of "fairness" to moderate the calls for socialism and to end the riots being stirred up over various "inequalities" that were destroying factories and driving workforces away.
As both parties supposedly got what they wanted there would be no reason to riot, and the state now had a vested interest in putting all dissent down hard.
Of course the difference between the state owning all industries and means of production and the state controlling all industries and means of production through regulation is pretty much a pointless distinction.

Mussolini was unfamiliar with Conquest's Second Law:
"Any organization not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing."
So the attempt to create a "centrist" compromise between (ostensibly right-wing) capitalism and (left-wing) communism/socialism will always wind up as left-wing socialism.

Seems to me that this reduces the concept of "populism" to equivalence with "popular."
My use of the term "populism" is to denote the particular political tactic of pretending that you're "with the people" to gain their support, but without any real intent to follow through once in office.
By the way, I also think democracy is not necessarily a very good form of government--especially when combined with a government which has been allowed too much power over its citizenry. The tale of "two wolves and a sheep discussing what to have for dinner" comes to mind.
Democracy and a relatively weak government can work fairly well. Democracy and a strong government degenerates into tyranny.

"Just to recap what has happened in the past 18 hours...
Cruz had a chance to win or do exceptionally well in Illinois and Ohio, turning the tide of the primaries, but instead of standing up for free speech and the rights of republicans to have rallies, he blew it.
Now, Trump will win both states by wide margins, absolutely closing the door on any chance anyone else could get the nomination.
That's what happened. "
It also tells us much about the abject fear that has gripped conservatives and Republicans for so long. The patently obvious response would have been a full-throated defense of the First Amendment and the Constitution. The responses from Rubio, Cruz and Kasich, along with much of the conservative commentariat, has been utterly craven and is Stockholm Syndrome writ large.

I very much want at least the representatives to stay in their home districts and do business by internet. I suppose the Senators would need to be disbursed as well to prevent the Representatives from being ignored. That leaves the president and SCOTUS in DC though and I don't want those two working together to ignore congress (not that that isn't what is happening now anyway).

OK... THAT is false from stem to stern.
Illinois is an open primary state so, given the states so far, I expect it will go to Trump (by a few points). Ohio is closed so we shall see about that (it being Kasich's home state makes it somewhat of a wild card). Even i rump wins both, it doesn't mean he wins (1237 means that).
Additionally, Cruz is NOT WRONG about Trump encouraging uncivil behavior. That does not excuse the behavior of the protesters (and the police) last night but neither does their behavior excuse Trump's.

Unfortunately, with the police being unwilling to enforce the law because some are more equal than others, Trump only had two rotten options to choose from.

Mussolini started out as a socialist/communist, and was the editor of Avanti, (Forward! or Vorwarts! which a number of comintern aligned newspapers used as a name) and had tried to engage in promoting socialism in Switzerland.
He probably wouldn't have cared, even if he were in a position to know. It was the industrialists who backed the idea for a compromise who didn't know and paid for it. Especially the Jewish ones.

The closest we've come is Obama in 2008 winning so many states, and he only won by like 5% of the vote. I don't think its possible any more.

Yeah. Even Kent State was an aberration back then.

Oh, goody! I think I'm done with that show anyway - bleak and repetitive. Suppose that's why they're going to kill off regulars, to get new people and story lines.
As far as pissing off fans - hasn't that been the "thing" in TV lately, killing off beloved characters as some sort of surprise? See: Game of Thrones.

Cruz screwed up big-time by blaming Trump. As a commemter put it somewhere else Cruz attacked his rival instead of his enemy. To prove his point, Cruz should schedule his own rally in Chicago to show he world how it goes with terrorists when you talk nice. Except with Cruz, nobody from either side might even attend.

In this instance, I agree. However Sheriff Clarke said that it didn't matter that it was Trump - which I believe is true - he just has bigger events. HIs point was that we have to stop looking at these people as legitimate protesters. They're all supported by George Soros and company, fueled by Jug Ears hate speech. We have to start fighting back and standing together.
Personally, I think the whole thing regarding the Trump-encourages-violence charge and this protest are two different issues, connected by coincidence. These people have been working to assemble a sizable crowd for at least a week or longer.

Chicago Police are used to that stuff all the time, so I would think that they could pretty easily handle it and it would be a mark of pride that they would not back down.
One thing made me wonder about the parking lot stories, a witness was saying that they wanted to get to their trunks to get their guns, but the thugs had broken windshields of cars with DT stickers. That many out-of-towners and they didn't break into the trunks for the guns? Doesn't make sense.

Although I think I would prefer the Aubrey McClendon route, which at least leaves open the possibility of an accidental death for the purposes of survivor's insurance benefit. Single car accident, aim for a concrete bridge abutment at 60 mph, with no seatbelt on. Although he should have waited more than 24 hours after he was indicted to have at least made it look kind of accidental.

Yup, that's all you need to know about that crowd.
Regardless of what Trump has said (and he is accountable for it), this is bigger than Trump - this is about mob rule, a mob that has been indoctrinated and led by people who have never had America's best interests at heart.
They only want to stop what is looking like a potentially winning GOP candidate, someone who is appealing to people outside of the GOP party. They are willing to use violent means, if necessary (as Ayers has done in the past).

I don't know if it has that much shock value anymore. We've come to expect a death at the end of a season, especially of the lead's love interest. It's emotionally punchy with minimal impact on the main story arc, gains sympathy for our hero/heroine, and clears the deck for a new character.
I remember what a punch in the gut it was when Buffy's mom died because she was such a nice bit of normalcy in the crazy swirl of Buff's life. Back then death wasn't dealt quite as often.

Define "interests" - yours or those of the man unfortunately commanding the military from the Oval Office?
Middle East has a whole lot of the world's oil in it and a whole lot of people aiming to conquer the world for Allah. Now you have two choices: Either Bush was right and the Middle East is capable of democratic self-rule, with a bit of help, or they have to be ruled by an empire or local strongmen. In the first case, we need to intervene. In the second, we have an interest in ensuring that those empires or strongmen are not hostile. Either way means that we need to take an active role in the Middle East. We cannot ask them to pay for our military, as they would simply then go to someone - a rival power - that imposes no such conditions and we lose all hope of shaping the world to our interests.

=====================
Read Max Hasting's "Winston's War: Churchill 1940-1945"
Great Britain was in for the fight of its life against Hitler, and Roosevelt made sure that the UK paid hard money for everything it purchased from the US, to the point where the United States sent a USN cruiser to South Africa to pick up the last British gold reserves for payment. Only after the Brits were stripped to their skivvies was the Lend Lease Act passed.
So, there's precedent.

The left has gotten away with violence for years--actual, physical and psychological violence.
And they've paid zero in consequences--not one damned thing.
In truth, they've gained from it--from gaining power to favorable
coverage; "mostly peaceful protests" is how they're always described.
They have this underwear shitstain of a president who has urged them, "get in their faces; punch back twice as hard."
And still--STILL--we have people who's first instinct is to blame the victims. "Oh, they shouldn't have provoked them so."
No.
I won't be part of that.
I will not accept the leftists definition of free speech--only for that speech I agree with.
Unpopular opinions, evil opinions, hateful opinions, and, yes, racist
opinions are the very core of the protections of the 1st Amendment.
A government--or people enabled by those in power--that picks and
chooses which speech is allowed, even if it's stopping the most vile of
racist speech, is soon moving on to lesser targets.
Because the target all along was never the racist, the hateful, the evil
or the unpopular--it is the voices of all political opposition.
And giving them the power to shut down ANY speech they disagree with is
giving them the power to shut down ALL speech they disagree with.
And every one of us here holds opinions and beliefs they disagree with . . . .
So, it is indeed a time for choosing, after this long train of abuses
and usurpations, after long and patient suffering these insults and
injuries, what is the path forward?
Because these people who shut down that Trump event (after ever and ever
more brazen attempts to disrupt prior events), they don't mean to leave
behind a world where we are free to disagree with them. They mean a
world where the full force and weight of the entire machinery of
government either grinds us under or discards us in a long trench in an
empty, nameless field.
Look at the faces of those people who attend a Trump rally. Look at
those people who support him. They are Americans. Are we really going to fall for the
leftist lies? That these are racists? Hateful? Evil? Stupid and awful
humans? Unworthy of having their opinions? That it's best to make them
less than human, deny them the protections of fundamental rights, the
easier to dispose of?
When the violence happens from the left, we are told we must understand
the motivations--neatly allowing them to sidestep actual condemnation of
the violence.
When the violence is from the "right" (and I don't put Trump on the
right, he's a populist), we are told--without question or hesitation--to
condemn the violence.
Violence attending political events is the norm worldwide. What is unusual, disturbing is that it is now here, in America.
And it would not have found purchase, would not have found acceptance if
it was not producing results--silencing political opposition.
All systems, sooner or later, copy success. Even those that abhor the means if they intend to survive.
What I am saying is, someone getting punched, beaten at a political
rally doesn't happen in a country that actually respects the fundamental
right to free speech for everyone.
A political rally doesn't get shut down in that country.
A speaker doesn't get hounded from public in that country.
Campaign headquarters don't get shot up, property destroyed.
These leftists do not respect, do not accept, the fundamental, God-given
right to free speech for everyone and are uninterested in a peaceful resolution.
They do not understand, they do they want, nor will they allow a reasoned discourse among equals.
They mean violence, they only understand violence, they only accept violence . . . .

People who have read the comics, which I have, could tell you who they expect to die, but the producers of the tv show have ALWAYS made it clear they are not bound by the comic.
There are characters still alive on the show who have been long dead in the comic. There are characters who died on the show who are still alive in the book. Some main characters on the show did not appear AT ALL in the comic.

willing to work with Reid to pick a new court justice.... when Cruz
knows better than anyone that Reid isn't in the Senate next year... the
crooked bastard is retiring... and I've never heard Trump mention
working with Democrats to pick court nominees, much less Reid. "that"
was a cheap shot.
Posted by: Yip at March 12, 2016 12:22 PM (e7T6D)
I don't consider that a cheap shot... Reid is the face of the Dems in the Senate and Trump has said he would make deals with them.

I'm not a fan of Pam Geller, and frankly I don't get the fawning over her that goes on. That being said, lots of people are very touchy on the subject of what happened that night when she held her event.
Factually, I find it hard to argue with Trump's comments. But then, between the night in question and now, I haven't said a word about Pam Geller, because it's an incendiary topic. And I'm not running for President, so.....

I've been reading the latest from one of my favorite syfy author's, Robert J. Sawyer, entitled Quantum Night. I'm only a quarter way through but so far it is about a psychology professor who discovers that as a student 20 years earlier his brain was damaged when he was a psychology test subject. The effect was to turn him into a "psychological zombie", a consciousless narcissist, and there's a hell of a lot more of them out there.
Now we're talking of TWD and thugs in the street.

Conventional wisdom is that nobody knows what Trump would do, including Trump. So, your statement is a little shaky, though not nearly as unhinged as your normal Trump comment.

So - I checked out the quote for myself on MoveOn. It's legit. They're absolutely promising more of the same.
Then I checked out the comments. Long story short - we're heading for street violence as a best case - maybe worse.

More preachy.
Trump will be voted in by dead people if the people who really run Chicago decide it is in their interest. This helps Trump.
And probably helps Sanders. I think Sanders was hand picked to be Hillary's straw man. Bernie can't win delegates but winning the popular vote sure is embarrassing Hillary.

That isn't such a bad policy, really. Although if you wear glasses, those things steam up your lenses bad.
Pam Geller did nothing wrong and Trump was wrong to suggest she did.
Trump did nothing wrong and Cruz was wrong to suggest he did.
Good summary. Both dropped the ball when they had a chance to show leadership and class, and stand for liberty. Both should know better, and hopefully will do better next time. Neither one is the spawn of Satan for doing so.

War has been a normal condition of human existence since Cain and Abel, and lasting peace has yet to be achieved. WWII didn't bring peace, after all, just a change in enemies....Anyone who thinks that we should just be able to go in, smash a bunch of stuff, and then leave having solved the problem permanently is chasing a dream.
The notion that people will be good if we leave them alone or achieve some desired structure is something I usually associate with the Left, not the Right. I'm not sure why people can't see that the basic conservative understanding of human behavior pretty much guarantees that foreign conflict will be necessary on a regular basis.

hate-filled rhetoric should be on notice after tonight's events," on the
George Soros funded MoveOn web page. "To all of those who took to the
streets of Chicago, we say thank you for standing up and saying enough
is enough. To Donald Trump, and the GOP, we say, welcome to the general
election."
Peachy.
Posted by: Lizzy at March 12, 2016 12:19 PM (NOIQH)
This is why Insty has the right solution:
Trump should sue MoveOn for conspiracy to deny his civil rights to assembly, free speech.
Discovery would be devastating...esp. to Soros personally because he funds them and the Democrat Party because they also back them.
Ayers appeared to plant himself right in lawsuit territory as well.
If Trump wants to win the election and win big, this is exactly the sort of punching back he should do.
Start hurting the Dims in the pocketbook and watch how fast this nonsense stops.
YMMV.
