A great lie: that you can harass a political opponent in a private venue

“I think that this is wrong, do they have the right to do it? A hundred percent.”

Actually, NO, they don't. The First Amendment protects the right of the people to petition government peacably and on public property. It does not protect people who go into a private business to harass public figures.

If I were the restaurant owners, it wouldn't matter if my customers were Democrats or Republicans, but protestors would be escorted out in handcuffs, prosecuted for trespassing and criminal endangerment, and barred from ever coming back to my establishment.

It's the same thing for private residences. You don't go there.

    I was attacked in a restaurant in Keystone, ND in June. The drunk asshat Colorado Democrat was screaming at me about being a trump supporter and my religion. I had just told the guy I was returning home from PorcFest in New Hampshire, a Libertarian event, and that I didn't vote for trump and I'm an atheist. It didn't stop his screaming. I was tired from driving cross country, so I took my order to go and went back to my hotel home. Of course the waitress could have told him to leave...she did not. Even though he was abusive to her as well. I would have perhaps had ribs like the guy who was screaming at me and telling me I needed to support the poor starving people in South America, while he's eating enough ribs for a family of 4. No logic, no reason, pure emotion. If only he had known I was armed he would have messed his pants.

    Make a show of dialing 911, yell "Get out! I'm calling the cops!" and tell the cops that a mob is attacking a customer is what me dino would advise a restaurant owner/manager.
    That wouldn't be telling a lie either.

      These aggressive mobs are commiting violent acts against customers, using leftist alt-logic that there are these things called micro agressisions and words themselves can be violent.

    The restaurant owner should have told the protestors to leave. You are correct in your statement about the 1st Amendment.

    I don't understand what lemon being black and a sexual abuse survivor has to do with Ted Cruz. Was Ted the abuser? Probably not. The whole point of screaming in someone's face is to shut down any discussion and silence the other side.

      "I don't understand what lemon being black and a sexual abuse survivor has to do with Ted Cruz."

      It doesn't have anything to do with it. Lemon is playing the victim card to try to get you to sympathize with him and accept his opinions as authoritative because rationally his argument is a steaming pile of bovine excrement.

    The owner of the property (or his agent) has the right to make the decisions; and he certainly has the right to tell disruptors to get out of there. In fact, he has the right to tell people to get off his property be-
    cause he d*** well wants them to.

    I agree. Seeing as though the liberals dont believe in private property and universal individual rights, its clear they feel justified in pretty much doing anything to people who they dont agree with.

    Francisco was right in AS- "it IS a war out there, and we need to take sides..." Beware of the liberals.

    It's like the Picture of Dorian Grey. Our once beautiful country is becoming wrinkled and stained by the actions of dishonorable politicians who promote division among parties and promote anti capitalist ideas. The deterioration will eventually kill the very concept of America.
