1. I love it.

[uppityperson]

2. Good, as he should be.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. I thought I smelled something awful outside tonight!

[marions ghost]

6. Are you able to access the MSNBC page?

After just now seeing the video, I'm suddenly getting page not found....

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. no interest in finding or watching it - life's too short. Listening to the Bruins

and hanging out in DU!

Hey - we should get our Triangle area bunch together one of these days!

[marions ghost]

10. I understand...

meetup sounds good --

[Docreed2003]

14. At least the B's have tied it up!

[barbtries]

108. I would like that

Just tell me when and where 😃

[Duval]

99. Whew! So glad we stayed in! lol

[wilt the stilt]

4. this is foolish

and only strengthens him and makes the protesters look immature and stupid.

[cui bono]

8. Why?

[wilt the stilt]

13. because we have a saying in sales

lose like a champ. When you shout someone down then you appear to be a jerk. People and his supporters will become even more dedicated to him. The ones who are on the fence will not want to identify with the disrupter's. You lose when you act like a jerk and that is how you will be perceived.

[cui bono]

15. So how do you think civil rights would have fared without protests?

I guess most of that wasn't directly at one person's speech/rally, but I think protesting is a good thing, especially when it is confronting people like him.

.

[wilt the stilt]

17. the civil rights protest were civil disobedience

and not shouting someone down. think gandhi

[NCjack]

22. I think that Trump's statements harm him more than rudely interrupting him. When

he speaks, he is most unscripted and comes off like an idiotic jerk. He looks much better when he is prevented from speaking.

[marions ghost]

28. Good point

He gets enough air time.

[retrowire]

32. Say that to his numbers. pssh..

Always shout him down, Always throw him out.

If it ever gets to the point of him winning, then shout louder and riot. I say do ANYTHING it takes to prevent him in power.

[morningfog]

34. If only takes ten people yelling to end his events, We need 10 in every city.

SHould be easy to do.

Shut him down. A good deal of the people were there for the circus anyway.

[marions ghost]

26. Do you know the history of Gandhi?

check it out

[marions ghost]

20. Seriously, one could out-jerk Trump?

His supporters love that he is a jerk. They appreciate jerks IMO.

[trillion]

112. They are jerks, IMO.

[busterbrown]

50. So disrupting a Trump Speach and you’re a Jerk?

Ones on the fence? Give me a beak...The a sum/total situation.. Either you’re with this guy or your not..
We have just got to hope that the majority of Americans will be repulsed by his antics.. There’s no middle ground here as you are assuming..

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

63. "We have just got to hope that the majority of Americans will not be repulsed by his antics." ????

I don't think you were really thinking that...

[busterbrown]

67. Yea, I screwed that one up.. Thanks...editing now..

[busterbrown]

114. Gettin older by the moment will revise, thanks..n/t

[trillion]

113. agreed. I stand with the repulsed. Gotta love how the more press time they give him, the even more

fascist lunatic he sounds - Carson and Fiorina too.

[louis-t]

102. Gee, the teabaggers did real well shouting down townhalls

in 2010.

[marions ghost]

16. Making him leave the stage strengthens him how?

Nonviolent protest is a time-honored tradition in this country. Especially when what we're seeing is a raving nutjob in a pit of gladiators. The audience of such a grotesque spectacle should have the right to boo. Let's not pretend this is really a campaign speech.

[wilt the stilt]

19. this is not non violent protest

and is form of violent protest. non violent protest was a sit in at a lunch counter. yelling someone off a stage is not nonviolent pfotest

[marions ghost]

23. Pfffft

In this country, using words instead of a gun is super-polite.

[wilt the stilt]

25. this is not using words

but a form of censorship and that is how it will be perceived.

[marions ghost]

29. Laughable

to think that Trump is being censored.

[wilt the stilt]

33. if you shout someone

you are definitely censoring him. One thing i know is you have never been in sales. The overall perception of your actions has to be your concern. So the people in the auditorium and most of the people who see it on TV see it as 10 jerks yelling someone off the stage. the result are people like you feel self satisfied. The trouble is you are already convinced. Everyone else thinks they are jerks.

[marions ghost]

35. Somewhere below the superficial level of "perceptions"

the Truth lurks...

And that's what the protestors are speaking.

[wilt the stilt]

37. and do you really think the protesters

come across well to average people. the only people who support the protesters are people like you and you are already convinced.

[marions ghost]

39. You underestimate the "average people"...

Last edited Sat Dec 5, 2015, 02:30 AM - Edit history (1)

as marketers often do. Many average people have sense enough to think for themselves without the spin you value so highly.

I consider myself among the "average people."

[wilt the stilt]

42. Let me give you an example of winning by losing gracefully

I just restarted my business. i started a discussion with an old contact(CIO) about my business. He ended up asking me if I knew anyone located in NYC to sell for his company. My wife said did you ever sell him anything and I said no. She said to me "why would they hire you? and I told her I always kept my cool with him. guess what they are flying me in for the job. now it will only be on a contract because I want it that way. I am one of the best in the country at what I do and at times I would love to tell people off but I shut my mouth and eventually win.

[marions ghost]

44. Far-fetched analogy...

There are times when being silent is stupid and the bulldozer runs over you.

[OldRedneck]

45. ". . . I am one of the best in the country at what I do . . . "

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm the Queen of England.

[wilt the stilt]

48. except it is true

only if u knew. I have a rolodex that people would die for. I do something that people find incredibly hard to do and 98%of the people hate to do. If you want to start a business do what everyone hates to do and there is money in it.

[bvf]

52. I've yet to meet anyone who works in sales

who doesn't perceive him/herself that way.

[wilt the stilt]

120. what i do is cold call

and there are very few who do it well. I have been offered good money to teach what I do by some major companies. If i could tell you the deals I have found it would blow your mind. I have been part of many million dollar deals. There are many better sales people than me but very few better cold callers than me. I can point to twenty top sales people who all say I am the best they have ever seen.

[bvf]

121. I won the Nobel Prize for Indulgence in 2003.

[wilt the stilt]

122. ever try cold calling

quite the challenge. then tell me what is it like.

I also make some pretty good money. a company is flying me to NYC just to meet me. As Ali said "it ain't bragging if you do it" I'll put it this way.I pass the social security cap every single year.

[bowens43]

31. Nonsense.

[Delver Rootnose]

36. By you definition ....

...sitting at a lunch counter is violence. Just like not allowing some 'proper' to use the counter the people arnt letting trump use the mic unopposed.

[wilt the stilt]

38. I marched on Washington

in 1970 and 1971 against the vietnam war and we didn't have temper tantrums and that is how we influenced the country to oppose the war.

[Delver Rootnose]

40. It's all a point of view...

I bet the old people of your youth thought you were throwing a temper tantrum just like you in your age think the current youth are doing it wrong.

Why don't you go show them how it is done properly.

Oh and the convention in Chicago was oh so orderly.

[wilt the stilt]

43. and it cost the democrats the 1968 election

and we got Nixon. That really worked well.

[Delver Rootnose]

46. And the candidate had.....

...nothing to do with it, or the brokered convention.

You're the expert show them how it is done. Plan out an acceptable protest that meets your sensibilities. Just don't whine when it gets ignored by the US media or criticized by others as 'too extreme'

[KingCharlemagne]

115. sorry to burst your bubble, but the time to be marching

against the war was 1965-66. By 1970-71, Tricky Dick had begun the process of Vietnamization, withdrawing U.S. combat troops and instead supplying the puppet forces in the South. IOW, your marching influenced exactly no one. Props to those like Norman Morrison who protested at a time when the protests actually counted.

[trillion]

111. I think it makes it look like the protestors won and like Donald Trump is a temper tantrum throwing

little man.

[FlatBaroque]

5. Please correct link format error

[marions ghost]

11. Done, thank you

It's working now

[dickthegrouch]

9. In Raleigh, NC?

There's hope for the South, yet.

Only SC can be considered more conservative than NC.

[dsc]

18. I think that is a bit of an overstatement of how conservative NC is

NC went for Obama in 08, was the closest contested state he lost in 12, and our Senator came the closest to reelection in the horrible year that was 2014. We also have a better than even shot at defeating McCrory in 16. We are easily closer politically to Virginia than we are to Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, or Tennessee.

[Kelvin Mace]

49. Ummm, no

Until Art Pope bought the government, the state was quite liberal.

[jmowreader]

55. Parts of it were, anyway

Kelvin, the liberal state of North Carolina is also the state that inflicted Jesse Helms on the Senate for thirty years.

[Kelvin Mace]

58. Agreed,

but until recently, the other senator, most reps and the state government were Dems.

[jeff47]

53. Yeah....Raleigh's neon blue.

NC's history is actually relatively liberal. The state figured out basing their entire economy on tobacco wasn't going to work out....in the 1950s. And then the government set about doing something to fix that.

So they started building up infrastructure to get other industries here. For example, Charlotte has a massive banking industry - it's where banks send work when New York got too expensive.

Between Raleigh and Durham, the state set up a lot of infrastructure and tax incentives for high-tech companies. And it has been massively successful. Three major universities in the area have extremely good science programs to supply highly educated workers, and all the various incentives caused a massive bloom of "tech" jobs starting in the 1980s.

Today, if I go to a job search site, the only place I can find more job openings for "tech" jobs is in Silicon Valley.

The result of that highly-educated population, as well as the very large number of people who relocated here, has turned Raleigh quite "blue".

[marions ghost]

54. ^^^

"neon blue"-- I like that

[jmowreader]

56. More like "electric blue." Neon is VERY red.

[jeff47]

57. Great. Now I gotta go look up what element glows blue in a "neon" tube.

ETA: Apparently, it's argon blue.

[jmowreader]

61. Either argon or xenon

New "neon" signs don't use neon at all - the lights are fluorescent tubes with internal coatings that produce any color you want.

[mmonk]

119. The triangle is pretty blue. We have a

large Hispanic population in outlying areas as well. I figured he would face interruptions.

[Jarqui]

12. Hope folks can keep it up

- without his security hurting them ..

[Thespian2]

21. K & R !!!!

I lived in Raleigh for many years...happy to see tRump forced off the stage...now he can go back to his jet and tweet even more ridiculous lies...

[marions ghost]

24. Raleigh rocks these days

[Thespian2]

30. Glad to hear it!!!

I come to Raleigh almost every year...one of my dearest friends, Jon, lives there...

[retrowire]

27. I am now proud of my home state.

We may be represented as a red state, but truly we're purple.

GO NC!!!

[Mira]

41. Living in NC

I could not be more proud

[NurseJackie]

47. Fantastic!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

51. So much for him claiming he's indestructible.

[olddots]

59. we all interpret history differently

[lancer78]

60. unfortunately

This will do nothing but boost his poll numbers.

[LS_Editor]

62. What a baby.

I thought he would never be like Bernie Sanders and allow protesters to derail him speaking.

Shocking that was bullshit. Shocking.

[Ikonoklast]

64. To all of you applauding this: Would you feel the same if it was done to a Democratic candidate?

What if it was Hillary speaking, and was shouted down by Trump supporters, what say you then?


When you shout down those you disagree with, you have lost any moral authority you might have had and have lowered yourself to being a bully.

[Flying Squirrel]

68. Some people deserve to be shouted down.

Trump is one of them.

[KingCharlemagne]

116. Trump, like Hitler, is really sui generis. IOW, he must

be shouted down at every turn, his supporters must be shunned and shamed at every turn.

[marions ghost]

69. Hillary deserves some respect

Trump deserves none. He's a monster created by the corporate Rethuglicons, much to their dismay.

[Kurska]

73. So whether someone should be allowed to speak

Should be determined by whether or not you respect them.

Gotcha.

[marions ghost]

74. He got a chance to speak--he spoke for 30 minutes

--but his speech was marked by what I feel is justified nonviolent protest.

No, I don't think you give dangerous demagogues the right to grandstand and foment egregious lies nonstop.

Isn't it obvious the comparison to another unmentionable historical figure who was shielded by conservative views such as yours?

[Kurska]

75. Way to display your historical ignornance

Obviously you're referencing Hitler. What you absolutely fail to understand is that Hitler's speeches were constantly disrupted before his rise to power, especially at the beginning of his political career. Nazi rallies often descended into mad scrums of battles between Nazis and communists. It did nothing to stop him, If anything it made him more popular with the German People "See these people are afraid of the truth, they won't even let me speak". The reason the Nazi's rose to power was not for want of people willing to shout at them.

But yes, you're displaying a huge amount of hypocrisy and bias when you treat a political action different when it is pointed at someone you do or do not like. Personally, I think it is immature and asinine whoever it is pointed at and ultimately probably only helps the side you are yelling at (most people view such disrupters as idiots).

[marions ghost]

78. I view the disrupters as brave souls who speak for many others

So go ahead and call me all kinds of names. Doesn't matter. I stand with the protestors. And I always will. And you always won't.

[Kurska]

79. Hah, actually you admitted the opposite.

You stand with the protesters when they are on your side. If others did the same thing to Hillary or Bernie you'd be howling with outrage. Again, as you admit, not out any logic or reasoning, but via a pure sense of tribalism and backing "our guy".

I personally think a good message can be ruined by the wrong tactics, but alas we seem to be approaching a critical mass of the idea of "just do something, who cares if it is counterproductive".

[marions ghost]

81. I would not stop nonviolent protestors

--even if they were protesting my candidate Sanders at a rally. Of course they will be removed by police, as they were in this case. But I think it's OK all around as long as it is not violent.

No civil protest of Trump is "counterproductive"--that's a quaint way of looking at what is happening. We must speak out against him and everything he stands for.

[Kurska]

83. What are the police doing besides stopping it?

Trying to shout someone down in a public forum is counterproductive, it makes you look like a monster to their partisans, a rude person who can't show basic respect to a neutral observer and a "hero" to your own partisans.

It does nothing to expand your point of view, it is pure red meat thrown to people who already agree with you while alienating anyone who isn't strongly for or against.

[marions ghost]

85. "a rude person" --ha ha

Trump supporters obviously LIKE rude persons! And monsters.

[Kurska]

87. My opponent is rude?

Better cede the moral high ground and be just as rude back.

Thats how you win a debate for sure.

[KingCharlemagne]

117. +Infinity! - nt

[840high]

80. You need to re-read your history books.

[marions ghost]

82. No need

the comparison is obvious.

[Kurska]

84. Except your comparison and the implications are nothing resembling actual history.

The fact you think Nazi rallies and speeches weren't disrupted all the time before the rise of the Nazis to power is proof enough.

[marions ghost]

86. Maybe with the hindsight of history

we can prevent another insane maniac from rising to power.

[Kurska]

88. Ya know.. except..

You don't actually have a clear understanding of history, as two people have just explained to you now.

If bothered to actually read the paragraph I typed you'd understand why.

Here I'll bold it.

Obviously you're referencing Hitler. What you absolutely fail to understand is that Hitler's speeches were constantly disrupted before his rise to power, especially at the beginning of his political career. Nazi rallies often descended into mad scrums of battles between Nazis and communists. It did nothing to stop him, If anything it made him more popular with the German People. He would say "See these people are afraid of the truth, they won't even let me speak" and people would cheer. The reason the Nazi's rose to power was not for want of people willing to shout at them.

[marions ghost]

89. ZZZZZZZZ

[Kurska]

90. Those who wish to cite subjects they know nothing on.

Probably knew nothing on those subjects for a reason.

Perhaps it is ignoring someone when they try to educate them.

Who knows!

Neat song though.

[840high]

91. Stay unimformed.

[marions ghost]

97. "Stay Unimformed"

[840high]

93. I don't respect Hillary but would

hope she is allowed to speak. What I want for my candidate is what I want for all.

[marions ghost]

96. She and Sanders have both been heckled

--and still they are speaking and are heard.

[840high]

104. What's your point? Trump

will continue to speak, too.

[marions ghost]

106. That's my point

The loon has not been silenced in any way. The point is that some who feel deeply have expressed visible opposition to his insane ravings. Solidarity. Surely you realize that most "liberal" Americans have no political voice.

Trump insults America by his candidacy in myriad ways. He suffers from delusions of grandeur, & inflicts himself on a weakened, vulnerable populace.

[840high]

77. Thank you. +10

[ConservativeDemocrat]

65. COOL! -- The one time I've EVER been in favor of idiot-disruptors

By protesting like this, these screamers will make Trump's backers love him even more. Which should (cross-my-fingers) get him the nomination.

I mean, normally, I call stuff like this left-wingnut counter-productivity, but here they're doing us a great favor, even if it's almost certainly for the wrong reasons.

70. CBS is covering it now

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/black-lives-matter-protesters-cut-off-donald-trump-in-north-carolina/
----

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- GOP frontrunner Donald Trump abruptly ended his rally in his first visit to the state after his speech was interrupted at least 10 times by protesters - many of them chanting "Black Lives Matter!" as they were escorted out.
---

Trump maintained his composure initially. After the first protester, a woman, interrupted his speech, Trump told the crowd, "Make sure that young lady is in beautiful shape."

However, soon enough, the rally had a different feel as crowd members, campaign staff and press alike were actively on the lookout for more protesters. Trump blamed the media for giving the protesters coverage.

[marions ghost]

71. CNN Coverage of this story out of Raleigh:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/04/politics/donald-trump-raleigh-protesters-black-lives-matter/index.html

Donald Trump rally interrupted repeatedly by protesters

---- excerpt:

According to Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison, the authorities removed about 25 protesters from the event. Western Wake Fire Rescue Capt. Brian Egan said the capacity crowd numbered about 7,800.

While most of the protesters were peacefully removed, on two occasions apparent veterans wearing fatigues were observed forcefully manhandling protesters in an attempt to remove them, until authorities took over.

[marions ghost]

76. The Hill's video is good:

[world wide wally]

92. Its a start

[Ford_Prefect]

94. Trump thrives on playing the "underdog" publicly.

It is the image he covets most of all since his supporters see themselves as disenfranchised, disrespected patriots. He is every bit as dangerous as anyone has suggested. He played the situation last night to his audience well.

However, those who think quiet respectful protest will better silence him have no idea what he is up to. It did not work against Bush either.

Both Bush and Trump ignored the press when it suited them and used reporters as ideological punching bags. The press is aiding Trump by its passivity in dealing with all kinds of political issues. It also makes the mistake of presenting him as a genuine alternative. They would do much better to emphasize his hollow nature and his real world failures as a leader and so-called entrepreneur. Asking how he will pay for all that he proposes would do for a start.

His crowds are loud and angry. The public he aims for is not interested in truth or information or anything they actually must think about. They hear him enunciate their fears loudly and offer the kind of emotionally charged responses that bullies in schoolyards have used. They howl for vengeance against all the hurts they feel and aim that anger at anything or anyone who is "other" to them. They are not rational, and they are very driven.

The people who interrupted him last night were right to do so. He has no right to denigrate fellow Americans and North Carolina citizens as he did. We have a diverse population in North Carolina, although the Wonder Bread world shown in most local news and advertising pretends otherwise. We are far more fair minded than Trump's absolutist dogma implies.

Trump is a foul mouthed beast and a mean asshole which he proudly displayed last night. We do not benefit by propping up his false narrative and his arrogant disrespect.

[marions ghost]

95. THANK YOU ^^^^^^

Said so well.

[Paladin]

105. Same old story with some of you people: Liberals have to behave nice, right-wingers don't.

Republicans take advantage of our decent tendencies, every chance they get; they depend on liberals caving in because of our better natures, and thus they triumph over us. Over and over and over again.

This is no way to win a political battle. If you're not willing to get down in the ditches the conservatives created and slug it out with them, make way for those of us who are ready to fight. How much will your good conduct medals help you, under a Trump/Cruz regime?

[marions ghost]

107. You meant to address this to others in this thread IMO

I agree with you that the time for nicey nice is over. As long as its civil disobedience, I believe in it.
