somehow I fear that this will make his supporters support him even more. i still think he has no chance in the generals though

Don't worry, she's just pledging allegiance like all Americans do, she totally isn't saluting and it's absolutely not related to the Nazi salute.
Y'all are just looking to blow this stuff out of all proportions.

Fox news guest: what to prevent these hooligans prevent people to vote?
You keep saying "some people" or "certain protesters" and worrying about their latent urge for violence and rudeness, and they all happen to be black or motivated against racism and protesting white men.
Even if you don't realize what you are doing, maybe take a step back and consider for a second you might be making some biased assumptions here.
The irony
Fair enough.
It's amazing that so many people have such a fundamental misunderstanding of what the First Amendment even means. What's so hard about it, it's the most basic one! Like I can understand the confusion over the Second Amendment, the words in it are murky, but the First is cut and dry. Neither parties involved yesterday had their First Amendment rights infringed, both parties were exercising it, at least they were until Trump's party voluntarily ended his.
Just so annoyed that Trump made himself the victim in this.

You chose to shut it down.

Fox news guest: Obama's rhetoric caused this and you don't see him speaking against this.all you see is the democrats fanning this.
Pretty gross, but not so clear cut that Trump can't worm himself out of responsibility.
"I don't know about Nazi salutes. I don't know anything about Hitler, okay? I'd have to check. I don't know."
"I don't know"
"I don't know"
"I don't know"
It's genius non-commitment, really.
Of course it will. In fact he will gain more supports because several republicans certainly didin't like what they saw last night against Trump.
In generals I think is unlikely that Trump win, but I would not rule out. He has appeal to blue color workers, this can be decisive in some states.
Ummm...No. They voiced theirs loud and clear. You didn't.

Like father, like son.
They won't address this. They have to stay on message.
Of course protesting is rude. It's a PROTEST. And these protestors have good reason to be upset. If you want to be mad at some protests, then come out to my neck of the woods. We've got Westboro Baptist Church out here. I was screamed at for going to a Bon Jovi concert because God hates "Livin on a Prayer" or something. We've got all the rude idiotic hateful protests you could ever want in my neighborhood. Meanwhile, institutional racism is very much a thing that exists, and violence is becoming acceptable practice at Trump rallies by his supporters, by the dude's own rhetoric. Yesterday's protest had a good reason to occur, unlike any Westboro protest ever.
The dude has been making fascist-lite statements and even gestures; that lady was just the inevitable conclusion.
I'm talking about shut down a rally. Whites, blacks, this doesn't matter, I'm condenning attiudes, not trying to make a point based on color skin.
So help me make sense of this?
Edit: Yea i thought it might be a little fishy. They dont really look alike.
Cheekbones and chinline are a different shape, and there are literally millions of old white ladies who could look like that. Nice try though.

They are different people in my eye
Of course he used the word 'thugs' and doesn't know how the First Amendment works.
I can't really tell but if those are two different people then this dude is being a giant asshole by smearing that lady.

No need to try and put words in his mouth when the conversation was clearly about the BLM protest.
I think Allan is against the concept of protests in general, or doesn't understand the purpose of them if he thinks that quiet non disruption ever accomplishes anything. The same laws that allow those Westboro clowns to protest military funerals apply here.
The allowance for the nonviolent exchange of ideas is one of the foundations of democracy. If you start cracking down on it, you come closer to being Russia, China, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, etc.
The protests did nothing of the sort for Hillary, Trump, or Sanders.
If you want to talk about dangerous and stupid stoppages, there were those people who attempted to shut down I93 in Boston a few years ago.
I don't buy it. This lady looks way different:

Yes condemning attitudes...
of predominately black, latino, muslim, and other minority people.
And the rally they shut down was a bastion of hatred specifically against them.
And for the record, race does matter in this context whether you think it does or not.

Old lady was probably just heiling a cab.
Yeah unless she grew her hair out 5-6 inches in a month.
Total bullshit. Here's a video of Portia less than a month ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsC5YRtkCGg&app=desktop.
For one thing, no glasses(and who the hell wears contacts at that age?). Also, completely different hair. Now, I know that could be two different wigs, but the facial features such as chin, cheekbones, etc, are all wrong. Portia also has a much longer face, and the hair of the woman in the rally picture has either blondish or nicotine stained hair, whereas Portia's is pure white.
Edit: GavinGT beat me to the punch with the same video, even. Good sleuthing, man.
Calling bullshit
Are you serious with this?

It's the narrative being pushed by Trump supporters on twitter
I'm totally in favour of protests, people should make their voices being heard, but certain attitudes I don't agree.
Maybe some people believe that the end justifies the means because the cause is so much important for them. I don't believe in this concept.

It won't matter if she was out of the country, Trump supporters will think that's her
My guess is that it reinforces the idea that they're being persecuted by the "intolerant", "regressive", "left".

It took only a page for this shit to get debunked.
Nice Bretbart like attempt though!
It's already started on her facebook.
I highly, highly doubt a woman who has been a activist for 40 years is gonna put on a trump shirt and salute. Absurd.
I will not bite and enter in your game.

lol..
Yeah those don't look like the same people at all. Slanderous assholes. Now these loons on the right are going to be harassing her.
If the protest are not in support of Clinton,Sanders and Trump. Then what are they doing for?
Is there not a better way to support the democratic process than erupting others?
