The Democrats seem to have realized that the violence they have been inciting may not be to their political advantage. Obama told Democrat supporters he disapproved of the violence displayed by leftist street thugs at a Donald Trump rally in California. He didn’t say this to the actual thugs, nor did he say this to the activist groups that promote the violence. He said it to be a group of Democrat millionaire lawyers at a private fundraiser.
“We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff and Trump supporters,” Mr. Obama said at a fundraiser near Biscayne Bay, Florida. “That’s not what our democracy is about. That’s not what you do. There’s no room for violence. There’s no place for shouting. There’s no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side — even if you vehemently disagree.”
He also attacked Republican for “feeding resentments.” You see, the “resentments” of middle class working people are not legitimate. Only the resentments of BlackLivesMatter, La Raza, the Gay Left and other Democrat constituencies matter.
Previously, Obama said, “Rich people are all for nonviolence. Why wouldn’t they be? They’ve got what they want.”
Trump is merely an incarnation of what his supporters embody & of which Trump is a physical incarnation. That of the anger on the Right at the alterations of our US society by the left.
Obama’s is lying again. Not only were the thugs representing the left, they were incited to riot by Leftist functionaries. There’s going to be a problem if the general consensus of Trump supporters is, that they need to be armed & ready to defend themselves when exercising their lawful right to assemble.
There needs to be a discreet segregation of those attending Trump’s rallies & the mobs of filth which are ready for a fight. Conservatives need to use the back door & someone needs to be hired to keep thugs away from those coming & going.
This is classic Obama drivel, odorous ichor from a smashed insect. Not taking ownership for the Democrats & himself, assigning blame elsewhere – to his opposition.
What the Left is failing to understand? That if there are serious injuries & fatalities to the Left’s mercenaries & their attendant anarchists, assigning blame won’t work anymore.
They don’t mind the violence, they only don’t like that people are noticing its non Asian minorities doing it.

And yet, Ben Howe of #NeverTrump seems to think this is a-okay…
President Barrack H. Obama has come out clearly against activist college students nationwide who have tried to stifle the free speech of conservative speakers invited to speak on college campuses.
[I’m sorry, did I take his remarks out of context?]
Hanover – Why do conservatives need to use the back door when peacefully exercising their right to listen to a presidential candidate? Sounds like Jim Crow and black and white doors all over again.
I am surprised no one has gotten shot yet at one of these riots, but if attendees have to come armed and ready, in case of attack, it will happen. And then it will be self-defense.
My son (28 years old) wasn’t going to vote for Trump until the riot here in Albuquerque where we live. I’d decided to vote for him when Chicago’s rally was blocked, so asked my son what made him change his mind. He said this time the riot happened at home. Not all 20 year olds are Bernie Bros.
I’ve basically decided to vote “Trump” regardless of his missteps and gaffes. “Hillary, Hell No!”, plus the electorate deserves him….
They shouldn’t, but you know how it goes. Squeaky wheels get the grease and the attention—and the latter is what they crave. So in this case I say, fine; let the Trump rally attendees have a safe entrance [safe space?] via the back door, where it’s harder to shoehorn in media and let the sniveling brats have their party out in front. I’m not a Trump supporter, but at this point, it’s getting a bit ridiculous when his “rhetoric” is being blamed for out -of-control near-riots that local authorities can’t or won’t control. At this point, the dapper mayor of Cleveland must be sweating just a bit and hoping that he doesn’t have a Chicago ’68 on his hands. Hopefully he’s already arranged with Governor Kasich to call out the National Guard, ‘cause I think they are going to need it.
Good on your son, Louise. I found it interesting that the PIO for the Albuquerque PD specifically mentioned that the troublemakers at the ABQ rally were ‘garden variety local criminals’ [paraphrasing] and not “paid protestors” (as some have suggested) as well as those “who likely didn’t even know why there was a protest”. Unfortunately it appears a little of the 206 has migrated to The 505.
@ #4,
I think-
The problem is more the speaker, rather than what he, Obama, has to say.
I do not believe that, after he became the president: that Mr. Obama has ever listened to [The Republicans], with the intent of seriously considering, what most Republicans have to say.
