Chicago: Anti-Trump groupthink enables a violent mob, and no one seems to mind
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/14/16 | Dan Calabrese

Mass manipulation

No, the violent uprising in Chicago this weekend was not a spontaneous reaction by concerned citizens to Donald Trump’s scheduled rally there. As with Benghazi, nothing that big ever happens spontaneously. It was organized, apparently by well-established liberal organizations with serious funding behind them. It was an orchestrated attempt to stop a political candidate from speaking, ironically on the grounds that the candidate is some sort of fascist.

But unless you pay every protester, you can’t organize a mob of people who are not willing. These people were very willing, which is why for all the talk about how dangerous Trump’s candidacy supposedly is, there is far more danger in the easy manipulation of ordinary people who can be made to believe things just because everyone else seems to believe them.

A losing effort coming from a bunch of losers in an effort to shut down free speech at a political rally.

Rush is talking about it now.

It is actually a very serious, and very dangerous effort to reinforce what has been loosely labelled "political correctness," to stifle dissent against the imposition of monolithic uniformity of thought on America.

This is what I sent to friends on Saturday:

Friends:

I do not believe that one should try to remain neutral, as between Cruz & Trump, after Cruz's pandering to a Leftwing media narrative, which seeks to blame Donald Trump for the organized thuggery that shut down his rally in Chicago, last evening. The whole point of the Chicago mob's effort was to retaliate & reverse the effect of Trump's achievement in breaking the hold of "politically correct" thinking on American public discourse. If the mob can shut down a public assembly for a purpose not "politically correct," we will never restore the historic heritage of the American peoples.

As I have posted in a rightwing forum, today:

What the Left has sought with the "politically correct" intimidation of dissent, is simply the latest form of the mob rule intimidation that almost destroyed France with the Jacobin Revolution; which sought to impose uniformity of thought by--among other atrocities--cutting off the heads even of teen aged girls, whose only sin was that they were born into landed families!

It is the latest form of the despicable November, 1917, Bolshevik Revolution, where Lenin and his equally despicable side kick, Leon Trotsky, used Trotsky's Red Army to suppress all dissent in Russia--even forcing the young daughters of Russian landowners into brothels, where they died from physical abuse within a matter of months.

It is the latest form of the German Brown Shirt stifling of dissent in the streets of German cities, paving Hitler's path to power, directed by his then side kick, Ernst Roehm. This led in a very few years to Kristol Night & death camps. (Of course, Roehm might have been hailed as a hero, as an out of the closet practitioner of homosexuality, by President Obama, in a "politically correct" America.)

I do not know how the introduction of Communist tyranny into China & Cambodia may have paralleled the tactics of Trump haters yesterday, but I am sure that there are many parallels. Forced uniformity of thought invariably involves some direct elements of mob rule.

We Stand With Donald!

No one seems to mind

Of course no one in the Liberal Establishment Press seems to mind. They will lie to support any anti-Trump group that speaks up.

There are a great number of people who "mind" very much, but all the people who "really count" can not be numbered among them, so they can be safely ignored . . . the "Establishment" thinks.

Funny how the “right” is always taken to the curb on “hate” SPEECH. Just talk. But the left never is responsible for its ACTUAL violence. It’s as though we learned all the WRONG lessons of the French Revolution.

Nazi Brownshirts would go to opposing candidates rallies to disrupt and shut them down.

Who are the fascists again?
