    Does this turn the table on the racism argument a little?

    African American Trump supporter beats up a protestor who was wearing a KKK hood:

    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/273673-trump-protester-assaulted-at-rally

    The violence is unacceptable but it is not just old white trump supporters beating up black protestors

    Yes, this obviously proves that Trump supporters are not racist.
    This guys seems to make the same argument

    Pretty compelling.
    I made it 4 mins in. So this guy is a cop and he says that the protesters were "the most hateful, evil people I've ever seen" ....sure, right, got it. Pretty compelling indeed.

    Yup, the protesters are hateful. Just ask this Trump supporter, he will tell you. He just wanted to stomp the evil out of this protester.

    It's not about what this guy or that guys says or how peaceful this protester is or how violent that one is. It's about what Trump stands for. It's about his lack of qualifications to lead the country. It's about his misogynistic and prejudiced attitudes . It's about his over-inflated ego. It's about how he would be the absolutely worst president this country has ever had. And even more so, it's about how disturbing it is that so many people would vote for him (even though he will not win. As Bill Maher said, Trump doesn't really want to be president, he just want people to think of him as a president).

    Except without these protestors he would still be all those things and we would all still know he was all those things. The protestors aren't really calling attention to anything that isn't already well known.

    We can condemn his message and ridicule his supporters, but they have the same rights as you and I. Blocking roads, shutting down rallies...I think that is too much.

    I agree with Maher's comment. He would have more ideas if he really wanted to be the president.

    Arizona would vote for Osama if he ran as a republican. They're the reddest of states. That's how little shame they have. This is a state that refused to observe MLK as a holiday for years. Remember that Public Enemy song about it?

    Ha...4 minutes of this guy's perspective was just too much for you to handle. Must. Stick. To. Narrative.

    ^^^ Since Trump's wall is going to completely trash the environment along the US/Mexican border and cut off all migratory paths for non-flying species, wouldn't it be a lot cheaper just to set off all of our nuclear weapons along the border and turn it into a massively toxic hazard zone that would kill off anything that got near the border? That way we could kill off all those stinking criminal Mexicans AND all the stupid animals AND- now get this- if the toxicity levels were high enough we might even be able to wipe out a few bird species that had the nerve to try to pass over the border.

    Somebody on here was looking for evidence that Trump protestors were being paid.
    This article claims that some New York protestors were paid $16.00 an hour through a craigslist ad...

    The entire premise of the article and the conclusions hinge on this one statement: Several admitted answering a Craig’s list ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.

    What are the names of these people? Do we have sworn affidavits, a name and address, a video of them talking about? How about evidence of the ad in Craigslist? The conclusion is then jumped to that they were paid for Clinton supporters, using that Reichstag analogy twice. Don't you think this is a littttle thinly sourced?
