So, I just saw on the news that protestors blocked traffic in order to stop a Trump rally in Arizona and many left wing groups have bragged that they will try and stop Trump rallies by any means they can.
What is it with liberals and their contempt for freedom of speech?!
I don't see conservatives trying to shut down Bernie Sanders rallies.
I'm saying this as someone who will EAGERLY vote for Hillary too (I can't stand her) but in my opinion, Trump is probably the least prepared and qualified candidate for POTUS that I have seen in my life.
So, I personally don't want Trump anywhere near the White House BUT the key difference is, I recognize the RIGHT of his supporters to listen to him speak, to gather in support of him and to do so without being blocked from attending by left wing protesters.
By the same token, left wing protesters have every right to attend and protest his speeches (without shutting them down) without being roughed up by Trump's security and by the Trump supporters.
And Trump is wrong and possibly criminally liable for egging them on.
I just see a trend though, were the left sees no problem at all in completely SHUTTING DOWN any expression of speech they disagree with.
As bad as I think Trump would be for this country, what is equally bad is this notion that protesting should allow you to deprive someone else of THEIR rights to freedom of speech and assembly.
Your premise is flawed. Liberals don't hate freedom of speech or assembly. There are those who operate outside of the mainstream on both sides of the aisle. Their actions are their own and they should be held accountable.
Intolerance. Lack of belief in or respect for the Constitution. Period. If you want fascism, vote Dem.
And if you want violence because others don't believe what you believe and the complete hatred of certain parts of the constitution like the free speech, the right to assembly, and so on then vote Republican. If you want the new Hitler, vote Trump. And be sure to raise you right hand all the way up for him when you pledge your support.

Based on what? Where are the R supporters en masse trying to shut down Dem candidate rallies? There are none. Why not? Because Republicans/conservative believe in the Bill of Rights, but Dems/liberals don't.
There is dissent at Hilary and Bernie speeches too, but I would never expect Trumplettes to be big enough to research or admit it. BLM interrupts them regularly. So what? Dissent is an American tradition at political events. The angry, violent, redneck Trumpletteers have taken it to a whole new level. Their master/puppeteer pulls their strings and they mindlessly comply. It's only about angry rednecks being mindless dopes. Nothing else.

You're right, liberals only hate speech they disagree with.

What a hypocrite. Where has all of the violence come from? Hillary/Bernie supporters. BLM, OWS all liberal organizations.
