The people attempting to disrupt rallies and public appearances of candidates intend to prevent them from continuing - see Move On thugs in Chicago - they're purpose is to prevent the lawful exercise of peoples' 1st amendment rights. Those doing that are almost exclusively leftist which means Democrat. No one in the Democrat Party has a single word of condemnation for their own people attempting to block the free exercise of Constitutional rights. Its typically Democrat and has become a regular course of action. If leftists don't like what you say, they attempt to prevent your saying it or they lay on heavy personal attacks to destroy what the person would have to say - they do it right here on this board, too. Its no coincidence that Democrats stifle and attack and others do not.

It's not just a word. It's the whole concept, posited in several threads now, that the protesters aren't real, but are actually just paid thugs. And of course, it's the absurdity of using the argument to rail against those evil folks at MoveOn.org. Because that's what liberals do. Twenty's post at the top of the previous page didn't just accuse them of being "professional agitators." It also reminded us that the far left is made up only of losers and fascists (because why should this nonsense even be required to make sense?). I'm genuinely shocked that Jesse Jackson hasn't come up yet.
And then I read that steaming turd Ladoga just dropped on the thread. It's pretty clear that most conservative posters imagine liberals as caricatures. You know why? Because they can only think in cartoon. We should no longer be surprised they are about to nominate one.
They aren't protestors
They are bullies. As I have pointed out before, the are likely committing at lest 2 or 3 misdemeanors. Maybe a felony depending on how much they resist being escorted away by the cops. Their sole purpose is to cause what they caused--disorder and liberal overreactions. The thing is, this is part of Trumps marketing strategy and the libs don't get it. This kind of disorder you ignorantly call "protest" is what he is running against
In short, there are unlawful actions by disrupters, including at least two cases of violence, one involving a disrupter throwing punches at a rally and the other an injured police officer in Chicago,
and there are Trump's Incendiary words, along with one action involving one punch by a Trump supporter.
One can make an argument that unlawful actions are...unlawful. One can make an argument that Trump shouldn't allow himself to be provoked by disrupters, keep the high road, and stay away from incendiary language.
Then there is the red herring of describing the two wrongs as a false equivalence so as to de-humanize Trump.
Thinking is what I do for living. I come to the conclusion after thinking, based on one's statements on this board. Is there any better way?
Somebody organized the disorder
The many common professionally printed anti-Trump signs is the first clue.
Thinking is what I do for living.
No wonder you're for an increase in the minimum wage. I hope you don't work on commission.
Now, how did you come up with the assertion that I am for an increase in the minimum wage? I have never thought of it and especially never said it. You must be thinking, But then, I doubt that "thinking" is your forte.
Because all liberals are cartoons who believe the exact same things. Conservative posters only need to read enough of your posts to know you are left of them. Any further reading would just be a waste of their precious time, so they just fill in the blanks with things they already know we all believe.

I know you're frustrated, but you've gotta take a breath and revert back to the Goat that we know and admire. I think you could've done a better job of explaining to Twenty which particular phrasing was setting you off...because you were right. The use of "professional" is inflammatory and very likely incorrect.
This election is bringing out the worst in people, is making turds float to the surface, and we keep stepping in it. Just watch your step.
Were you in the other threads? This is our third attempt at a Trump rally violence thread. The first one fell apart immediately. The second one made it a full page before turning to crap. We're showing improvement.
But in all three cases, people repeated the claim that, I think ultimately goes back to Rubio, that these people were "paid" to be there. Add in all this nonsense about how every single leftist is X and Y and Z, and it's not the election that gets frustrating. It's the posters.
I used the phrase professional provacateurs in a previous thread. You asked for clarification, but later locked the thread, so I had no opportunity to respond. I don't know if some of these people are paid or not, but that's not necessarily why I used the term professional. I used it more or less to describe a group of people that routinely engage in this type of stuff. We know from press coverage essentially who was involved and what their aims were. MoveOn, Undocumented, BLM, certain activists. In that sense, it's the usual suspects that are involved in these things, like Occupy and the Emmanuel protests. There is obviously some organization and financial support, although some of the participants are undoubtedly regular folks.
I don't have any issues with protesting, but I don't think that's an accurate description of what some of these people are doing when they're shutting down or disrupting rallies, throwing objects at presidential candidates, rushing the stage, taking over microphones, grabbing legs, etc. I think Obama agrees it's counterproductive based on his comments today. Beyond that, I say protest away, even though I believe for the most part these people could do more good and actually engender goodwill if they channeled their energy and resources into serving their communities.
