Last night the Trump campaign called off their Chicago rally due to security threats.] Leftist protesters cheered, beat Trump supporters, block an ambulance to the local hospital and screamed profanities at families staying at the Trump Hotel.
Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich sided with the violent protesters.
Republican endorsements.
American game show host Chuck Woolery lashed out at Senator Ted Cruz after he sided with the violent leftists.
And Second Amendment speaker Jan Morgan withdrew her support from Ted Cruz.

You can’t reason with these people. It is pretty much a cult.
Ted is Toast. Free republic is better than ever
Are you blind? Ted Cruz has gotten cruise missiled all over social media in the last 24 hours for turning his back and embracing leftist protesters.
Thanks for this synopsis. Just read part II. I was wondering where the cops were and thankfully the filmers were too. WHO were the filmers, how did you find this video of your car? I’m glad you were on film, and expect they were tweeting 911 also.

LOL! How vivid! To the point! Hammer ‘n Nail!
Good job, my friend.
Oh what a surprise another caucus where people can be manipulated into GROUP THINK!!! SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!!!!............NOT
You should spend some time watching Trump videos as I watch Cruz’s.
Trump’s supporters are not violent and all of Trump’s rhetoric is in the context of supporters defending themselves against the protesters.
So yeah, facts and/or logic, very useful all around.
You do realize that some scumbag who writes for the national e-spew released a hitpiece on Super Tuesday that was a complete and utterly malicious lie about Trump?
You can’t reason with these people. It is pretty much a cult.
Au contraire. Trump supporters are issues oriented. Build the wall. Stop unfair trade.
OTOH, there are people who believe in the piousness of a millionaire who gives basically nothing to charity. People who believe that “principled conservatism” includes smearing your opponent on what MAY be in his taxes. Those cognitive dissonance infected folks are deluded cultists.
Does Cruz not have handlers that he runs these ideas by so that they can slap him upside his head and tell him: “What the hell are you thinking?”? That was such an atrocious unforced error. I don’t trust his judgment at all anymore.
Cruz: The Constitutionalist, When It’s Convenient...
WOW Angels, WE ALL Thank you for your support, however more than that, WE ALL Thank you for for your absolute belief in free speech wether you like it or NOT!!! You my friend are a TRUE PATRIOT!!! May God always bless you!!!!
"If you like your First Amendment, you can keep your First Amendment."
"If it's Convenient."
I think you need to step up as you have done in the past against this virtriolic rhetoric.
I understand those of us on the Cruz side are outnumbered here. I get it.
But the constant character attacks and outright falsehoods do nothing to further the cause of liberty and conservatism.
Quite the opposite actually.
Look at this thread... It’s disgusting.
We are not talking about Clinton or Obama... These awful lies are repeated over and over about one of our most greatest heroes of the right, someone whom you yourself have said you support more than any other candidate.
I know it’s a fine line, but civility cannot be damned for the sake of the angry mob. I don’t care how angry the mob is, we have to stick by our principles because without them, what the heck are we fighting for? Why even fight if you have to sacrifice everything you believe in to win?
Conservatism is the only salvation for this country, no, for liberty.
The blatant disregard for it on this site is so disheartening. This is supposed to be a place conservatism can grow and be fostered.
That is not and cannot happen when one group screams bloody murder lies and falsehoods over and over. When all they do is attack the character of fellow posters with frivolous contrived drivel, regardless of the topic at hand.
I love Free Republic. I love my country. I love God almighty.
This has been a place which has shaped who I am and what j believe in since I was literally in middle school. It’s been a topic around the dinner table and when visiting grandparents for literally most of my teenage and adult life.
With grandparents drawn to FReep alongside you in DC against Clinton, to my mother and I alongside you in Crawford, to my wife and I alongside you in DC against Porkulous, FR had been a very strong part of my life.
This election cycle has been vastly different than before. The level of hatred being exhibited is getting completely out of hand. When people whom have invested a decade and a half or more of their lives to something, to a community, walk away because of the behavior of another group, something is seriously wrong.
I don’t have an answer on how to fix this, maybe it’s to enforce basic principles stances? Maybe it’s to some how address this with the mods, but something needs to be figured out, and fast.
If not, I fear this place is going to shake itself completely apart, and there won’t be anything left once the dust settles.
In my prayers,
plewis1250
ROTFLOLOL!!!!
ping..
Well, we’ll take our chances with the FReepers. But thanks for your concern.
Good thing for them that they weren't cowboys.
The fibbies would have back-shot 'em....
We’ll just have to disagree. Trump keeps saying that the protesters are “swinging at us”, thereby justifying the violent actions of his supporters. No, I have seen no evidence that the protesters are “swinging” unprovoked at anyone. Trump seems to equate the mere presence of protesters with “swinging”. He just uses rhetoric like that to whip people up into a frenzy of fury. Just look at many of the faces of Trump supporters at his rallies. Kind of scary looking.
I've always liked Carson, cruzer. This one's for you - I usually reserve it for the cruzers who insult Palin:
"Ted Cruz endorsement fails as Ted Cruz fails to win more than 50% of the vote in Texas".
Your slimy cruzer buds were mocking Palin because "First Nomendment" Ted got one more delegate than Trump in Alaska.
Hey, Rita - can I get a Post of the Day consideration for this one?:
"What is Ted's DU screen name?"
One thing you do not understand plewis, is that this country unfortunately has gone to far to the left for Cruz to win in the general!!! I know you WOULD LOVE to believe that this is NOT the case, but you NEED to get your head out of the sand and realize that it has taken 30+ years for the progressives to get this country to where it is now!!! if you look at this situation realistically it WILL take us at-least the same amount of time to turn the ship around !!! I just WILL NEVER understand how you folks honestly believe the country WILL ACCEPT a CRUZ far right person as POTUS????? It is just NOT going to happen and you NEED to stop imagining the country is in a place that it is NOT!!! LOOK AROUND YOU and WAKE UP!!!!
