    I don't know what the "Karma" is that you are speaking of....But, to answer your rhetorical question, "Does Ted Cruz have a right to not be heckled?" The answer to that in a society that values free speech is simply no. BUT, if these so called "hecklers" get in his personal space causing fear of person, or well being they could be considered of committing a felony of assault. So, there are limits.

    I agree, it's hard to make a call unless you were there in real time.

    These are the current tactics of the far left and ANTIFA. Maxine Waters encouraged this behavior and so they feel emboldened to harass anyone anytime and anywhere.

    And why their supporters are so squeamish to address them after they support them.

    I think your comparison between Cruz getting heckled and a philosophy that led to the killing of millions is a bit silly.

    Well the tactics are very similar to what the Nazis used against the Jews which is why the far left is so accepting of hecking Cruz. Fascists support fascists.


    After the Enabling Act was passed, violence against Jews escalated and Julius Streicher, editor of the vehemently anti-Semitic newspaper Der Stürmer, was told to form a boycott committee. Lists of specific businesses and individuals to be boycotted were published. On April 1st, Nazi pickets were posted in front of stores and factories belonging to Jews and in front of Jewish professional offices to prevent anyone from entering. Hermann Göring, meanwhile, had ordered German Jewish leaders to deny reports of Nazi atrocities committed against Jews. Germans who tried to buy from Jews were shamed and exposed publicly.

    The boycott lasted only three days but it had important implications and consequences. Moreover, it revealed the completeness and efficiency of Nazi information on Jewish economic life. It also strengthened the idea that it was permissible to damage and even destroy that life with impunity. Later measures were based on this assumption.

    Only if you don't understand the history of the Nazi tactics used in the 30s against the Jews. The Nazis boycotted businesses, harassed them in the streets and justified it just like what you put your support behind here against Conservatives and their leadership.

    I will stop short of "Godwinning" them at this point...But, it is symptomatic of a party that has been dragged further to the unhinged fringe of their party.

    Do you or do you not support the tactic of harassment of Republican's supporting the administration going on at the moment?

    Why going after Cruz in public for political reasons trying to prevent him from leaving or having a meal, shouting him down and threatening him and his wife with more of the same. As I proved the Nazis used the same tactics against the Jews early on. What part of that confuses you?

    Progressive ideology is based on a sense of superiority where others need to be dominated, and in some cases intimidated.

    It is theoretically a throwback to plantation owner aristocratic behavior and their attitude towards their slaves. Comply or be subjugated to an even worse degree. (whipped or sold off)

    That just ruined the day for those people who think the headline " Drunk Veteran Runs Over Dog With His Car". There are those people who think that all of us Veterans drive drunk and run over dogs because they heard it on the "news".

    Yes, it is true that too many people think that a news story identifying a member of of group means that in what the entire group is like.

    I don't know if people born in Canada qualify for 2nd Amendment rights.

    Why someone would post such a silly and specious comparison.

    You don't go into a private establishment and do that.

    It is bad enough that the group was thrown out of the Soviet Chicken but for anyone to follow them and protest or harass them outside a different restaurant is double wrong.

    Would you prefer that the new Leftists be compared to the old military arm of the Democratic Party? (Neo-Socialists to be exact)

    Also known as the old KKK.

    The specific objective that the KKK embraced was to intimidate and ultimately suppress the voice of their targets.

    Their actions eventually morphed into acts like lynching and mutilation as methods used to terrorize and subjugate. Sally Yates and Bill Nelson can claim ancestors who were highly proficient at this type of intimidation.

    Actually, there are plenty of accounts of Blacks, who voted Republican in the late 1860s and early 1870s, and were found hung with their genitals cut off.

    Proud history of the Democratic Party and reflective of the current PROGRESSIVE mentality.

    Also, the group affiliation is selective. "White, male, native-born" are descriptive of most mass killers enabled to accumulate their firearms under permissive laws that allow them easy access, but those identifiers don't seem to provoke generalizations.

    The general public should not harass or bother either Ted Cruz or Sarah Huckabee Sanders, when they are out to eat, in my opinion and I don't particularly care for either one of them.They should have the right to eat in peace unmolested or screamed at.

    Cruz and Sanders are so warped and twisted that I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. Most ordinary people can’t even make their voices heard in opposition.

    Yes I would say that too if I couldn't debate the point made.
