    Really?

    Until your post I had not heard of this fictional “creamer”?

    Where did you hear of him - 4chan? 8chan?

    Yeah, those are equivalent...

    Serving chicken

    vs

    sticking a shiv in the head of a fetus, then cutting it into pieces and blenderizing it.

    You leftists have the moral high ground I'm sure ;)

    What does that video have to do with Trump? He didn't create it.

    He told us not to believe our lying eyes:

    Video Suggests Strategist Tied to Clinton Campaign Tried to Provoke Fistfights at Trump Rallies
    Robert Creamer denies any wrongdoing, insisting that claims by the “notorious right wing blogger O’Keefe” are unfounded

    A top Democratic operative with ties to the Hillary Clinton campaign is “stepping back” after a right-wing video showed the operative talking about inciting violence at Donald Trump rallies.

    Robert Creamer announced his resignation in a statement after conservative activist James O’Keefe released a video this week under his organization Project Veritas Action. The edited 16-minute video shows Creamer allegedly explaining how his organization, Democracy Partners, planted instigators at Trump rallies to arouse the Republican nominee’s supporters.

    Project Veritas published a full statement of resignation from Creamer.

    He's quitting his criminal activity because he didn't commit the crimes he was caught on tape committing

    And I agree that everybody is entitled to whatever level of approval or disapproval of any politician. That IS NOT the issue. The issue is people coming up to a member of congress minding his own business eating lunch- (not even their own congressman) and bursting into a tantrum in public. That constitutes public harassment without provocation, and enough so to make it subject to criminal charges such as at least disturbing the peace. How would you feel is people you didn't know or represent in any way approached you at a public place and started screaming insults in your face? Would you see that as just expressing his opinion?

    I disapprove of many politicians- and I would never ever trash my own dignity or respect with an act like that. I would never disrespect even the most disliked of them like that- because I'm an adult, not a spoiled selfish brat that thinks all politicians have the duty to keep me happy, and if I disagree I can make an ass of myself and it's somebody else's fault that I chose to make as ass of myself.

    If you don't understand the issue here- it's not the right to an opinion, it's the question of openly creating a public scene and committing a verbal assault because you don't like someone else's opinion.
    If you fail to see the difference, I feel you aren't qualified to speak to it. But I do wish you a society around you that treats you in that same way, that you may someday realize it's ignorant, arrogant and abusive- neither politics or opinion, just thuggery. By people who have long been old enough to know better- but apparently don't.

    So you're saying that he wants to be the only deranged one who spews hate at every turn?

    I say again: to demand of average american folks to be more level headed than the President of the United States is hypocrisy beyond belief. This is what you do. This is what the author of the OP does. And it's why Trumpism is considered by so many as a cult.

    The Fake News cable channels and Sunday network newspeak shows aren't average Americans. They consciously and deliberately sow hate.

    The elected Democrat nutjobs aren't average Americans. They consciously and deliberately sow hate.

    When it comes to the media and a good percentage of the citizenry, we live in 1984.

    Democrats are like Citizens of Oceania.
