    Or would you be comfortable with a couple thousand klansman rednecks or anybody on the right, even the center-right, Etc shouting down a rally for Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton or the president?

    Seriously if a mob forced the cancellation of any of those would you be happy? Is that how you like politics to be or just when you support one side?

    And personally I don't think it's all college students or faculty but 5 or 10% of kids getting off on the attention is not unheard of.

      A friend of my older sister went to a Trump rally wearing a Bernie Sanders hat. She is a 42 year old woman and stood quietly listening to Trump....then was pointed out by some people in the crowd, immediately verbal assaulted by many and ultimately forcibly removed by the police....on the way out she was spat upon and groped and no one, even the police, did a thing.....true story.....

        Most college professors identify as liberal and does that ideology spill over into the classroom. You bet it does.

          Of course that is wrong but mabye it is just me but why would you wear a Bernie Sanders hat to a Trump rally. Don't get me wrong you should have the right to do so if you want but I wouldn't do it. Just seems to be asking for trouble. My daughter went with my son in law to a Bengals game in Cincy a few years ago when the Browns were playing. She really doesn't care about football and I advised her not to wear her Browns jersey as she might get hassled. She didn't listen to me and sure enough they had some idiots verbally assaulting her calling her a Browns whore etc when she went to the concession stand and my son in law wasn't with her.

            I work in Higher Education and you couldn't be more wrong about how 99% of colleges work in this country. Professors aren't spewing Marx and free dialogue for both sides is fiercely protected. Most universities have free speech zones and just last week a huge Trump rally dominated our campus.

            These protestors were way wrong but but being plain stupid and wrong about how the world works is just as bad. Also, what do you want the vast majority of professors to do who have nothing to do with political science? Do you want the biology teacher have a pop quiz on the Constitution? God ignorance and blinders drive me crazy. Just because professor Joe Liberal at the one liberal college where they don't wear shoes talks that way doesn't make it true.

            Excuse me just because you think you are right doesn't mean you are right. I went to college myself and saw the liberal bias first hand and this was back in the late 80's. Don't even try to tell me these universities aren't heavily promoting liberal ideology because I witnessed it and there are studies that have shown the liberal bias. It is conservative speakers that are being shut down in liberal colleges and discriminated against and that is going all over the country. Before being on your high horse saying other people are ignorant do a little research it might do you some good.

            And I did have the English composition professor in college compare right to life with the KKK and Nazi groups in the classroom and the American history teacher who gave me a note after the semester was over saying she feared for her job as a conservative surrounded by liberal professors and administration.

            Of course! Your personal narrative of attending one college 20 years ago should trump (pun intended) my years of working in the field. My attending conferences where inclusion workshops are led Trump supporters. Where presidents councils have crafted documents about understanding free speech is for everyone. Where a professor on our campus was fired for putting a crossfire signal in Trump. Yes, your one example of a liberal professor outshines allthat knowledge and examples. It is against the law at ublic institutions to discriminate based on affiliations. My research is being masters educated in the field and being a published speaker. What were your credentials again?

              Honestly....I wouldnt have worn it either.....but, seriously, lots of people wear "their colors" to games and rallys and it's outrageous to think youd get assaulted at a "politcal" rally, just for doing so....and to get groped and tossed out because you have an opposing opinion is despicable....

              A football game? and some verbal jabs from a bunch of drunk neanderthals?....thats a little more believable....

                      Seriously JRB 12711 I am more open minded than you think. Generalizations and blanket condemnations are not right and my favorite professor was very liberal but what distinguished him from the other liberal professors I had was that he never pushed that ideology in the classroom and the only way I even knew he was liberal was because he would joke about his debates with his conservative daughter. I went into the Criminal Justice field and this professor later went into social work and we became good friends and worked together on some cases from time to time. He was a retired St. Louis police officer and hands down he was the best professor I had in that college.

                            And of course it's a fraction of assholes who disrupt things. You don't often hear of tea party members shouting down liberal speakers at colleges, but it's fairly common the other way around.

                                  Really vood stuff.

                                    Fair enough mud. I will buy you a trump hat to wear to the next blacklivesmatter riot.

                                    My response would be that the people running blacklivesmatter aren't running for President.....and I could easily wear a Trump or Hillary hat to a Sanders rally without fear of being attacked....

                                    In fact....all of the candidates have held rallys....and none of them have had people ejected, attacked, arrested and beaten....except at Trumps rallys.....and it's happening over and over again.....

                                    Now.....after many incidents of hate and violence erupting at these Trump rallys, some people organize and go down there to protest....which is understandable....and suddenly they are the trouble makers etc.....when the protest was actually an organized response to the hate and violence being perpetuated at these Trump rallys....

                                    The guy is running for President.....each and every American has a right to go there, hear what he has to say....and if they want....voice there preference or opinon.....plain and simple....

                                    And for all the people espousing American rights.....make America great again.....Obama divided this country....blah blah blah....sure seems like Trump and his minions are a driving force in dividing people further and censorship of opinion.....

                                    So...yeah....I should be able to have a reasonable expectation of NOT being attacked....no matter what I wear.....

                                      Bullshit. Each and every American does not have the right to shout down and disrupt any political candidates rally whether you like them or not.

                                      And politicians do have a right to present their views in a peaceful manner without being attacked. Whether I like them or not.

                                      Many go there just for the reason of causing trouble so they can get their stupid faces on camera when they have to be dragged away.

                                        Welcome JRB. As soon as this started I knew OBF would pull out the "back in my day, my professors were liberal. It must be the same everywhere today!" argument

                                        Have fun.

                                          But thats nowhere close to what I said.....I said people should have a right to attend without being attacked......and, relating back to my original post, a woman should not be thrown out, verbally assaulted or groped because she wore a Bernie hat.....

                                          No one said anything about disrupting or shouting down a candidate.....

                                          And, I agree, a lot of people seem to attend "Trunp" rallys and enjoy starting trouble at them.....and thats on both sides....which is a troubling aspect of his campaign, as it is unprecedented in modern political rallys and not a normal thing....

                                          And Trump seems not to worry when it happens and sometimes even encourages it.....which to me, is not very Presidential.....
