‘Get him the hell out of here!’: Trump sics supporters on black protester who gets beaten and kicked
Bethania Palma Markus

Yet another rally for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has descended into racist violence.

CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond posted video to Twitter of a black protester being shoved down, punched, kicked and tackled during a political rally for Trump in Birmingham, Alabama — a city with a long history of racial violence.

In the video, Trump can be heard continuing to speak in the background, then can be heard saying, “Get him the hell out of here,” as the crowd jeers.

According to Diamond, the protester seemed to be saying, “Black lives matter,” to which at least one Trump supporter responded, “All lives matter.” He was tackled to the ground, punched and kicked by white Trump supporters.

This is not the first time Trump supporters have been caught carrying out racially-charged violence at rallies for the real estate mogul.

1. Good fucking lord

4. How long until they start showing up in matching jackets? n/t

[FuzzyRabbit]

39. Not much longer now.

They could all wear matching black shirts. And swear an oath to Donald Trump.

46. truth

[olegramps]

62. I have several relatives in the South. I am not surprised in the least.

Yes things have improved. But this improvement is also very superficial in many cases. Underneath the veneer there is a core of racial hatred. This last year I was in Alabama and I can assure you that many are just as racial as their grandpapa. This is especially true in regard to white working class folks. The better educated tend to ignore the racial hatred rather than confronting it because they realize that it could only result in their estrangement from proper society. They wouldn't be overtly challenged but would respectfully be given the silent treatment and would soon find themselves excluded and marginalized. The vast majority know the best option is to remain silent which is accepted as tacit agreement.

At times a wonder if Lincoln chose the right path since it seems that in spite of the passage of time it has only served to embitter and foster resentment. I wonder if the slave holders, who were in the minority, would have come to the realization of the immoral and un-Christian evilness of slavery that it would have been abolished voluntarily. I know that such an opinion is subject to question. But the aftermath of the almost universal racism that ensued may have been mitigated. It seems to have provided many with the excuse to embrace racism.

70. Look what happened when Yugoslavia broke up.

People who had for years lived side-by-side in peace were killing one another.

Scratch the surface, ugly bubbles up.

[StevieM]

73. I can't even begin to imagine that the Confederacy would have given up their slaves.

Most Confederates didn't even own slaves, but they supported the institution. It was a truly evil society. The Confederacy was the proto-Nazi state.

I have little doubt that slavery would have lasted for many more generations, until it was ended by force. And the force that ended it probably would have been World War II--when the C.S.A. was allied with Nazi Germany.

[EndElectoral]

2. George Wallace Returns

[SusanaMontana41]

69. Exactly what I was thinking.

We know how that ended.

[truthisfreedom]

3. Advocating for violence against dissent. There's no way in hell he can survive this crap.

You can't scream out "get him the hell out of here" in trump's situation unless he's physically threatened.

[Scootaloo]

8. You want to bet?

I decided to have a look at Freerepublic's response to this. They're eating it with a fucking spoon. There is a guy saying he wishes he were younger so he could join Trump's security and help clobber.

Remember whose primary Trump is running in.

[uhnope]

30. I hope you're wrong

The USA has got to find & use some mechanisms to get rid of this jerk. Apparently the GOP establishment is about to start trying: http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/260961-gop-operative-set-to-unveil-anti-trump-guerilla-campaign

[Person 2713]

31. And how do you get rid of all the jerks attending his rallies??

[EL34x4]

33. Liz Mair? Really?

The same Liz Mair who was fired from the Scott Walker campaign after tweeting some not nice things about Iowa and ethanol subsidies?

The GOP establishment is going to have to do better than that.

Trump will chew her up and spit her out.

[EL34x4]

35. This is why Donald Trump is in the lead.

This is why Trump will be the Republican nominee. And this is why Trump has a very real chance at winning.

Never underestimate the number of pissed-off white people out there. Donald Trump is giving them the green light to unleash generations worth of pent-up rage at what they perceive is a country that has changed too quickly around them.

This next year is going to get ugly.

[bvf]

42. What the fuck will it take to hasten his exit?

Trump will never be the nominee, but I'm scared as hell about how far this will go. Christ Almighty!

[EL34x4]

45. The Republican Establishment has been asking this same question since July.

Every time he says something that would've destroyed another candidate, his poll numbers rise. And now were heading into the holiday season with him in the lead and the wheels coming off the Carson campaign. Nobody else comes close.

After the holiday season we'll have Iowa on the 1st of February and New Hampshire a week later. If Trump wins both those races (and he's blowing away the competition in NH) he'll have winner's momentum. The money will dry up for everyone else and that'll be that.

[bvf]

53. My guess is that

the Republican Machine will do one of two things:

1) Let him ride as long as possible, if only to get the best measure of the level of crazy among their voters, then pull the plug. I won't hazard a guess about how they'd do that (pull the plug), but I'm sure it's within their means

OR (and I've seen this floated as a possibility)

2) Resign itself to losing in the general, and making do with what they hope will be a Clinton victory.

Xenophobic assholes make up fully a quarter to a third of this country's electorate at this point. How else to explain the recent, if horrifying, congressional reaction to the Syrian refugee crisis, not to mention the apologia of democrats willing to let their reps off the hook with the lame excuse about swing states?

Having said this, I'm braced for the inevitable alert. If that comes to pass, so be it.

[Scuba]

59. That's what I said about Ray-gun and Dim Son.

[SusanaMontana41]

72. Hold on

When Reagan sought the Republican nomination for president during 1976, we said the same thing about him.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

48. This is the crowd that "trusts him with the button" too....

Because they trust him to USE it.

They also think all of the prior presidents should have used it WAY before now but were too wimpy.

[Iliyah]

5. Jim Crow raising his ugly head again.

And T-rump is the GOP's front runner, which gives you the inside look into the GOP's base.

[annabanana]

6. I think Trump is beginning to tire of the game he's playing.

It's fun when the crowds are cheering.... Not so much when he is expected to explain his "register all Muslims" crap. He looks irritated and peevish

[ck4829]

7. All lives matter... and I will attack you to prove it

[MisterP]

17. #AllBankAccountsMatter

[surrealAmerican]

23. They are clearly irony-impaired.

"Jack-booted-thug lives matter, but not protesters' lives" just didn't have the same sort of ring to it, I guess.

[Beartracks]

9. Do Trump supporters ever marvel that their guy is "presidential"?

That's always been a big thing in the marketplace of appearances during general election campaigns. Supporters and sycophants are always quick to point out how "presidential" their candidate is at photo ops, speeches, and debates.

Has anyone ever accused Trump of being presidential?

Is "being presidential" even a concern for Republican voters this time around?

====================

[forest444]

13. And not only do they still think he's presidential,

his numbers in the Rethug primary probably just went up another 5 points.

[3catwoman3]

10. I remember how horrified I was...

...when I saw the footage of a Rand Paul supporter stomping on the neck of a woman who was not a supporter (2008 election?). This is disgusting.

[alfredo]

21. Didn't hurt his campaign.

[3catwoman3]

54. No, unfortunately, it did not.

I was briefly (naively?) hopeful that it would.

[alfredo]

67. Conservatives see no downside to violence.

[zazen]

11. so when are we allowed to make direct comparisons to early 1930s Germany again?

I mean, I know there's this Godwin's Law or something wherein we're "exaggerating" when we talk about brownshirts and demagogues who incite an angry disaffected populace to acts of violence against demonized minorities. . . .

I guess when they stop dressing up in Tea Party gear and start wearing identical party uniforms that we get to speak out?

I've been binge-watching World At War (1973), a 24 part series on WW2, after just having watched a 7-part series of World War 1 and the 6-part French series on WW2 called Apocalypse. The similarities are greater than I would have thought before learning more about the early details of the Nazi Party.

[SusanCalvin]

25. Yes. This crap is not funny. nt

[47of74]

55. Hell, I'll make the comparison right now.

And not care how many teabaggers or DINOs get upset in the process.

[lobodons]

12. Kudos to Trump

He sure does know how to pander to the GOP base.

[Buzz Clik]

14. I'm really tempted to invoke the N word....

[alfredo]

20. On each arm, put one word of "Make America Great Again."

[uppityperson]

24. I found this

[alfredo]

28. It needs Trump's face in the middle of the cross.

[MissKat]

40. Heil

Seriously, all that needs to happen next is for Donald to climb up on the table at the beer garden.

There he can gather his supporters and tell them about the master race.

This is truly frightening. It's not funny. It's not a joke.

And people better pay attention.

[packman]

63. Damn right - right on brother

" Minorities have become far too arrogant and it's about time they were put in their rightful place."

This is the DU and you seem to go to another blog if you are serious about this post - a sarcasm smilie is need after such a posting.

[katmondoo]

15. During a W.Bush speech my friends who were protesting the War were kicked and spit on

This was near the Air Force Base in Tampa Florida. I wasn't able to attend. They were charged with disorderly conduct and had to go to court. This is what happens when you protest at a Republican event. They are all thugs underneath.

[heaven05]

16. Jackbooted fascists

like Trump are very popular in america in this day and age. Actually have always been, they are just more acceptable with the RW mentality now. How can they get away with a racist attack such as this....oh sorry, it's alabama and in that state people have always gotten away with racist attacks and murder.

[alfredo]

18. Supporters kicking and stomping on a girl's head didn't hurt Rand Paul.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Yet DUers claim BLM doesn't protest against the lunatic GOP. nt

[gregcrawford]

22. The Douchebag...

... I mean, The Donald, has to be publicly reprimanded for this. He is responsible for inciting violence and that cannot be tolerated. What a contemptible piece of shit he is.

[Old Union Guy]

26. I hate to say it, but I think this will increase his popularity.

It's the kind of people he already appeals to.

[jalan48]

27. What a Fascist Fuck.

He needs pelted with rotten eggs while he's blowing hot air.

[Purveyor]

29. And Trump will see another uptick in his polling... eom

[ejbr]

32. Heil Hitler? n/t

[kacekwl]

34. I think he's trying really hard

to make himself unelectable because he's even afraid he might win. He doesn't and never really wants to be President. Much to much work involved. These bat crazy supporters won't be swayed by anything.

[bravenak]

36. Ignoring and making excuses for racism makes this possible.

[onehandle]

37. I read at Democratic Underground that Hillary Clinton is a Republican.

[Hoyt]

38. That'll move him up in the polls.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. Betcha CNN is looking for something similar going on with the Dems.

[wcmagumba]

43. Must watch: The Man In The High Castle on Amazon Prime...The Nazis won in this future....wow!

Binged on "The Man In The High Castle" just released mini series on Amazon Prime....read the book years ago, scary, scary stuff about alternate realities...but relevant...

[HeartlandDem]

44. Trump has screwed himself with his racisist rhetoric...

With every racist remark he makes, his following dwindles as people begin to realize his remarks are not "misinterpretations" but a thread from the fabric from which he is made.

[glinda]

47. And "our" Government just turns its' face.

[Feeling the Bern]

49. The German American Bund would be proud.

[weknowvino2]

50. Trump is DETESTABLE!

He appeals to the lowest form of life.

[BlueStater]

51. A modern day George Wallace.

Donnie boy may want to tone down his repulsive rhetoric or he may just end up like George Wallace as well.

[2naSalit]

52. Remind anyone of someone?

I mean, this is getting into the realm of plagiarism for goodness sake.







This country needs an intervention and counseling.

[raccoon]

58. Where's that picture from? nt

[2naSalit]

60. It's a still image

from the 1950s animated film based on George Orwell's Animal Farm... a short book or film that everyone should read or see. By the end of 2001 I knew this is where we were headed, and here we are.

[packman]

64. Stepped into my time machine and took a pic of a future Trump rally

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Helen Borg]

68. More like this

[Javaman]

65. tRump doesn't want to be prez...

He wants to be CEO of they US. Which amounts to fascism. I see he has his retinue of brown shirts at the ready.

People think I'm crazy when I say, and I really hope I am wrong, he is going to be the next prez.

He will represent the culmination of years of brainwashing the American public into thinking that we need someone who is "apart" from the system. The public mistakenly believe; therefore he will work for us.

How very wrong they will be.

[Vinca]

66. The protester needs to file a criminal complaint against his attackers.

Surely some can be identified on available video. This can't stand.

[SusanaMontana41]

71. That is one of the most disturbing videos I've ever seen.

[Jamaal510]

74. Trump, his supporters,

and the rest of the GOP are all the motivation I need for voting in the 2016 election and beyond.
