The new authoritarian right are showing exactly how committed their leader and they themselves are to free speech. This is not surprising to me. During a rally in Eugene Oregon for supporters of Bush Jr's second term, a protester was beaten before security could get there. The violent attitude towards free speech has only intensified after 8 years out of power in the White House.

The Lurking Menace of a Trump Rally
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/donald-trump-fayetteville/473169/

An undercurrent of violence courses through Trump’s events, and his speeches—and in North Carolina, it erupted into the open.

The Republican frontrunner made it through just four more sentences before the next one stood up. “Hello! Go home to mom.”
----------------------------------
That’s how it went through Trump’s rally in this military town, home to Fort Bragg, on Wednesday. At least 18 times during Trump’s speech, police came and plucked people out of the crowd, each time creating a large disturbance. The frequent disruptions added to an already charged atmosphere at the Crown Coliseum. In several recent nationally televised appearances at his resorts following election wins, Trump has seemed subdued—even “low energy,” to borrow an epithet. TheAP argues he’s moderating into a general-election candidate. But there was little of that on display Wednesday.

Just below the surface of a Trump rally runs an undercurrent of violence. There are few overt threats. But there are thousands of people who are deeply angry at the state of the nation, whose anger is being intensified by the speaker on stage.
-----------------------------------------

Trump encourages the crowd to vent its fury at the protestors. “See, in the good old days this didn’t use to happen, because they used to treat them very rough,” he said. “We’ve become very weak.” At least one supporter felt the same way:Videos shot at the event showed a man punching a protestor as he was removed. The puncher has been charged with assault.
-------------------------------------
A few weeks ago, a Guardian journalist wrote, “Attending a Trump rally is a nervy thing for a journalist … It is quite a feeling to be among a crowd of thousands who would gladly tear you to pieces, given the right circumstances.” That’s not my impression. Yes, Trump always takes time to bash the media; in Fayetteville, he mocked photographers every time they swung their lenses around to snap the latest protestor removal. Several attendees gently scolded me over what they see as unfair coverage. But suggesting many of them wish to engage in direct violence against reporters gives them too little credit. They’re perfectly able to distinguish between an individual reporter and the press they loathe as a whole. Two recent moments of violence against journalists at Trump events have come at the hands of a Secret Service agent and Trump’s campaign manager, not attendees.

Great, Trump supporters didn't beat a reporter, it was Trump's security team. That makes me feel so much better.

There was a place for protesters out side of the building. That way they wouldn't disturb the people that took to time to stand in line and wait for a chance to get in to see Trump. What ever happens to them being a menace is on them. They have a safe place outside, its that simple. TRUMP!

So all those Bill rally violence, is just par for the course ? Fighting at a Hillary protest is normal. When the media don`t show violence at Hillary gatherings,...you can`t comment on it. Don`t vote for those people.

Preferably one a little younger than 78, as I would hate to catch a charge.
