As Breitbart reported, local radicals lashed out and were clearly humiliated and angry when their lack of support was made clear. The communities in Cleveland simply didnt agree with them or want to participate with them. ...
The PICTURE at the link is worth a 1000 words...
I think democrats pulled their thugs because polling showed it was working against them... The little goose steppers would be out there in a flash if dems thought it was working.
Cleveland was not a gun free zone. Freedom prevailed!!
I was in Cleveland the whole week. Small group of folks in the city square. There was a vendor selling Trump gear 100 feet way from the demonstrators. No one was even bothering him. The Westboro Baptist folks were there making more noise than BLM.
We should protest hitlery’s convention. But with more class. And more effectively.
Protesting can be very effective. But its a numbers game. In this case (and don’t tell the leftscum this), fewer is better. And more spread out is far better. You get the same amount of coverage whether you have 3 people or 3000 in one place. So maximize your resources. Maximize eyeballs and spreeeaaaad out at multiple locations.
I’ve not been a fan of Reince Priebus (I call him Prince Ream-us), but have to give the RNC credit for this one. They did a great job of security, especially given the fact that the mayor of Cleveland basically said the local police weren’t going to protect the RNC. That was money well spent, and here’s hoping the opposite is true for the DNC.
You don’t understand the term “personalizing the enemy”, which is Alinsky 101 but exists far beyond the varied Alinsky protests.
In the 60s and 70s there were far more people and far more protests that were housing related than that were war related. These house protests personalized an specific individual and made him the “Satan”.
They included small fry slumlords, big name slumlords who were also chair of the Housing Authority. They included Judges in Housing court and Prosecuting attorneys and City Planners and Mayors like Mayor Daley.
Hillary herself built ACORN, not on the war, but on housing related issues, especially mortgage red-lining by banks.
Most Vietnam War protestors rejected Alinsky and his tactics.
I attended many Chicago and nationwide Alinsky training seessions and know of what I write.
