1. It just shows what we already know

and that is that morons will always obediently hate whoever they're given permission to hate.

I hope they find some real dirt on Trump and make him go away soon. He's dangerous because this is the kind of hate he spreads.

3. those protesters blew it though

they engaged with and fought with the audience, instead of standing, chanting and making their point. Rule #1 of this kind of protest is not to get provoked. They did and almost looked like they wanted to stoop down to the level of the RWNJs instead of make a successful protest.

9. Whose side are you on?

God! Where was the fighting you claim? Cenk's video addressed that very point — often times spitting in someone's face results in a fight. That DID NOT happen.

The white Trump supporter spat in a Latino American's face and you find fault with the Latino?

Un-fucking-believable.

In the reports I saw on TV, the protesters definitely were getting into physical confrontations with the RWNJs: http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/14/politics/donald-trump-protestors-virginia/

I say again, it's rule #1 to not let yourself get provoked. That's a key part of a successful protest. Do your homework on civil disobedience. & check yourself on this "whose side are you on" BS, please.

And since when are you the arbiter as to how protesters protest?

If so, stop being a keyboard warrior and get out and protest yourself.

Just about every other responder, along with myself, thought the face spitting was disgusting.

14. reading comprehension and critical thinking skills are important

I never implied such a thing, at all. It's all in your head.

I'm not an "arbiter", it's history. Learn about the civil rights protesters who sat at the diner that was whites only. Watch the films. It's a testament to dignity. Protests lose when they stoop down to the level of those they are protesting.

15. Yeah, yeah. Like you participated in anything. I have many times . . .

and I resent any know-it-all sitting at a keyboard criticizing how people, committed to a movement and actually participating, protest.

Let me know when you actually do something besides cite history, criticize, and lecture people who actually are a part of that history: i.e., civil rights, BSU, anti-war and BLM movements.

Feel free to cite your participation history.

your ignorance of how civil disobedience works. I can imagine how that turned out.

I wonder why progressive street activism has done so badly, why Occupy Wall Street turned into a circus--and if it's because of people who don't know what they're doing, uneducated narcissicists yelling "who's side are you on?" at the drop of a tinfoil hat

Plus, before he spat, the guy pushed and touched the Latino guy.
