This is all bought and paid for by the Democrat Party and its donors: George Soros, MoveOn.org. It goes on. The list is long.  It's the same bunch of people that were in Ferguson, Missouri, the same bunch of people that were in Baltimore, the same bunch of people that have been in Berkeley, the same bunch of people that rioted for Rodney King and the OJ trial.  It's the same crowd.  Different names of the organizations, same people.  It's all leftists.  It is all intolerant leftists. 


"But, Rush, but Rush, I saw that Trump guy hit the guy at the Trump rally."  Yeah, who started it?  Who shows up with the express purpose of disrupting the event?  Bernie Sanders supporters.  Bernie Sanders supporters, whether they're from the Bernie campaign or not, Hillary supporters, Democrats are infiltrating, trying to get in there. 


They were invaded by a bunch of leftists Bernie supporters.  Look, I'll tell you who this is.  It's Black Lives Matter, which used to be Occupy Wall Street, which used to be some anarchist groups. It's the same bunch of people they're out there protesting global warming. They're protesting for feminazism.  It's the same bunch of people. 
Many of them are rented. 
Many of them have to be purchased to show up.

Hate Monger. He delights in lumping people together who aren't or were never related. He is also a racist with hate thrown on top, and he makes big cash for doing it, but everyone knows this.. and still he is on the air. Maybe one day his hate speech will inspire a riot or civil war..I bet he hopes so..as someone once said... Some people just like to see the world Burn.. not for money, not for recognition, but for the pleasure of seeing everything burn to the ground.

have done more than cause riots, they've been primarily responsible for selling the iraq war and beating dems and liberals for 30 years while liberals stuck their fingers in their ears and ignored talk radio.

the truly absurd part is that 260 of those stations depend on these 90 universities to bring in advertising and keep them going at a time when rw talk radio is heavily in debt.

Hope he's charged with assault as he should be. Notice there's no video showing the crowd attacking the KKK jerk? Guess they don't attack one of their own?

What's staged and what's real here?

Not sure I know anymore.

Trump used to promote WWE wrestling matches in Atlantic City, right?

The Roman Emperors used to provide the populace with Bread and Circuses.
