You don’t seem to comprehend the difference between a government that is democratically elected with social programs for all and a dictator in a socialist country where the government owns everything.

I suggest you learn the difference between successful democratic socialist countries like the Nordic countries, countries that have social democratic parties like Canada, Switzerland and most Western European countries and dictatorships.

It’s embarrassing every time you misuse a word.

I may dislike Trump but I would not blame him one bit if he kicked an Antifa member out of his hosted event. Same applies to Bernie in this situation and I don’t deny that both sides do it.

I’m sick of people overlooking EXTREME behavior because of a group’s political leaning. I do not care who it is, none of them are not entitled to act like wild animals and demand acceptance when they go somewhere to start shit.
I was thinking the same thing. Imagine if Antifa members all dressed in black pulled up to the door of a Trump rally. They wouldn’t have been let in. They’ve proven to be trouble makers and their reputation will get them banned at places. Same for inforwars.

This was a private event...

Held at a public high school, but I know everyone here is well aware that everyone in America is not allowed to go in every room of a high school whenever they want and for whatever reason they want. It has never worked that way. Sorry folks, you can't just show up to prom because you wanted to dance...

This event was not paid for by the public.

And just because you're running for office does not mean that everyone in America is allowed access to you at any time they choose. Trump holds private political events all the time- which is fine.

It's embarrassing for this woman that she felt so entitled to be able to attend any function she wanted to simply because she wanted to go.

What exactly does that have to do with someone being thrown out of a public event? Anyone who doesn't find this disconcerting is asleep.
She used the word “public” to imply that her rights were being violated spark false outrage and because that’s not true. She doesn’t have the right to crash or troll events because it’s open to the public or hosted at high school. It doesn’t even work that way at publicly funded Universities.

People are free to disagree with the decision but no rights were violated to spark a need for major concern.
It was a public event.
At a public high school.
Paid for by the public.
At an event for a man hoping to lead the same public.

And you find nothing ironic or wrong with this.


Frightening. Truly.

Morgan, I am really not trying to be rude but these stupid jabs wont bother me. It’s fine to disagree with Bernie’s decision, his politics or feel he is a hypocrite and I don’t care who supports Trump in 2020. But to drag rights into this is super ignorant and that’s why she played that card to begin with.

Trump kicks people out of his events all the time but my political opinion of him doesn’t mean that I’m gonna lie or distort the truth to challenge his right to do so because that is a long standing right utilized by people in communities across the country.

It’s not suddenly “frightening” because I don’t care if it’s a politician, a couple renting out a city owned convention center for a wedding or an organization using a high school gym for a community fundraiser. It has always worked this way.

Exactly. I wouldn’t get mad at him for that or expect him to subject his supporters/guests to vileness because I don’t politically agree with them.

It has has to come to a point that common sense takes priority over political preference and fighting. It’s shitty and vile to lie about rights to create a false loophole to force disgusting behavior onto others.

I’ve been involved in events at public buildings and hosts have that right for a reason. It’s not and shouldn’t be that complicated.

I remember Infowars from the early 2000s. I worked with mostly hard core Conservatives and they all thought the site was F***ing nuts. This was never someone anyone argued about.
It's very strange.

I don't even think these people realize that they are arguing for a more socialist approach to government-owned buildings, while at the same time aligning themselves with people who want to destroy the government and paint it as evil - in a bid to better control the government.


Sometimes people need to take a step back and look at the meat of the argument before going to bat for it...
Right. Be careful what you ask for. I can’t imagine hosting a productive and safe event in certain situations if the government micromanaged basic crowd control.

It’s crazy.

Maybe you are a better person to help me understand d what I am obviously not realizing...

People are not legally obligated to let everyone attend their event simply because it’s a public building. It has never worked that way and it hasn’t for a reason.

And I mean this with respect because I enjoy talking to you. :-)

Hey Southern - What's disturbing to me is that the event is promoted as a public event. No where did it say private event. If it did, that's a whole horse of another color.

What's her name is known to be doing those "man in the street" type interviews as a conservative. The left knows who she is and what her views are.

She was not disturbing anyone, was sitting there in a seat, quietly, yet was singled out because the left doesn't agree with her politics. There are plenty of lefties that show up at Republican rallies and scream and disturb. They show up at college assemblies when there's a conservative speaking and scream and shout them down. They're asked to stop. They're not removed simply because someone at the event objects to their very existence. If I recall correctly, Regina Talab did that very thing at a Trump rally before becoming part of Congress.

To me it's akin to discrimination. That's what's disturbing. It starts here. Then who's next? Who decides who's appropriate to attend an event? Things like this tend to creep.
