This year’s presidential campaign reminds me of the old Spy vs. Spy<\/a> cartoons in Mad Magazine<\/a>. There are so many twists and turns and behind the scenes things going on that it is hard to keep up. I keep hearing that Hillary Clinton can beat Donald Trump<\/a> in the general election, but then I read about the money the Clinton and Soros organizations are paying protesters to disrupt Donald Trump events. If Hillary Clinton can beat Donald Trump, why is she disrupting his events?<\/p>\n

I am not a Trump supporter, but I don’t like to idea of shutting down the free speech of a candidate. I especially don’t like the idea of paying protesters to do that.<\/p>\n

On March 21st, The Daily Caller<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

This free speech-busting goon squad operation is directed by supporters of Hillary Clinton. It is paid for mostly by George Soros<\/a> and MoveOn<\/a>.org and pushed by David Brock<\/a> at Media Matters for America<\/a>. It\u2019s also funded by reclusive billionaire Jonathan Lewis, who was identified by the Miami New Times<\/a><\/em> as a \u201cmystery man.\u201d He inherited roughly a billion dollars from his father Peter Lewis (founder of Progressive Insurance<\/a> Company).<\/strong><\/p>\n

A march and demonstration against Trump at Trump Tower essentially fizzled Saturday<\/span> when only 500 \u201cprotesters\u201d of the promised 5000 showed up. Infiltrating the crowd, I learned most were from MoveOn or the Occupy movement<\/a>. Soap was definitely in short supply in this crowd. Several admitted answering a Craig\u2019s list ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least they are paying them more than minimum wage.<\/p>\n

The article explains the reason for the protests:<\/p>\n

This is why David Brock\u2019s dirty trick solves two problems at once:\u00a0it helps discredit Bernie because it appears that his followers are violent; and it also disqualifies Trump for a future vote, by portraying him as a racist or a bigot. The whole thing is a kabuki dance. Blaming Sanders for these riots is like blaming the Communists for the Reichstag fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And finally, from a friend on Facebook:<\/p>\n
