When hundreds of women gathered in San Antonio for Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit, protesters assembled to denounce them and disrupt their conference. One speaker told protesters to be “obnoxious” and to “show your hate” as a man dressed as death chopped the air with a sickle. Another speaker said that they were just showing that the “hateful values” have no place in San Antonio as another man in a costume mimicked the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Below is an example of what happens when speakers feed this rage addiction.
In this video, a pro-life advocate is swarmed by an angry mob. Protesters stopped her from speaking and blared ear-piercing noises next to her head.
The crushing irony is that the man who would have fought for the right of these protesters to speak was Charlie Kirk. He was hated precisely because he fought for free speech and free debate on college campuses. As here, he put himself in danger to expose the hypocrisy and hate that pervades our campuses and cities.
This video shows the face of the age of rage. What these people will not admit is that they like it; need it.
If nothing else, it is a recognition that such unhinged influencers like James Carville admits (warning foul language):
Very good article in Law & Liberty today: As Elizabeth Corey puts it, “so much of the chaos of the present has to do with abandoning our own judgment for the judgment of others.”
What you see in San Antonio is exactly that, two groups that have been formed in opposite directions, one toward patient judgment inside the hall and one toward buzzing, second‑hand rage on the sidewalk.

“. . . blared ear-piercing noises next to her head.”
That is a common tactic by Leftist thugs. It is a physical assault, just as much as is clubbing a person over the head. And that noise-making tool is a weapon used to commit bodily injury.
That thug should be arrested, tried, and jailed.
When you lose the argument on the merits, rage is all you have. And that young woman had incredible poise – she was prepared to engage with the mob, just like Charlie.
Last year I was talking with a friend of mine that I have known since 1964, and Trump came into the conversation. I pointed out that I disliked his personality but felt most of his policies were good for the country. He called Trump an idiot. I asked him why and he told me he just enjoyed saying it. I asked how he could have such a hateful attitude toward a person and he had no response. I have stopped communicating with him as a result. I do not understand how a person can change to be so hateful.
Unfortunately, that describes both me and my only son. Except that he uses much stronger language than “idiot” to describe Trump. I cannot stop communicating with him, so I avoid any mention of politics or civic issues. Sad.
Not being able to talk to a friend or relative of either party presents a problem especially for the young. Discussing politics and understanding both sides enables informed decisions on policy that effects the entire population not just the individual. For example, someone wanting the communist/socialist ideology may not have seen or experienced the results of their ideology. The same with the ultra conservatives. The middle ground, IMHO the constitution, lays out, is the best. However it takes responsibility, willing to work hard for what you want and get. Unfortunately that seems to be lost on the 2nd generation behind me. To them it appears that life is a joke, things should be free and people that disagree with them should not exist or be hounded, bullied and intimidated All of which they cannot handle if the shoe were on the other foot.
The split screen here says a lot about formation. Inside, a few thousand young women paid to sit in seats, listen, and build something around a set of ideas, whether you agree with those ideas or not. Outside, a much smaller, coordinated crowd showed up in masks and costumes to scream at strangers, blast noise in a woman’s ear, and chase viral clips instead of arguments. Same country, same generation, two different answers to the question “what have we been trained to be.” A republic can live with the first model, it cannot survive very long on the second.
Well said.
The display is quite telling. Normal, well formed citizens on the inside, crazies screaming hate and rage on the outside.
Upstate, I keep coming back to a different question. Are we still forming citizens for a constitutional republic, or are we increasingly forming government for citizens who have been formed for something else?
The architecture hasn’t changed nearly as much as the formation environment has. Both parties seem focused on adapting government to the electorate they have. Very few leaders seem interested in asking what kind of citizen self-government actually requires.
That may be the real debate beneath all the others.
Baby Lives Matter (BLM)
I don’t think that these demonstrators were hired to be there to listen. If you watch enough of these demonstrations, you notice the similarity of organization and choreography, handheld noisemakers right next to the head, etc. What I would wonder is about how much is paid to each and what the overall outlay of cash would be.
They are well trained. A lot of that is a good facsimile of rage but appears more a trained expression of hate without the real emotion. They have not even made it into a real mob which is another level entirely and is more spontaneous and unpredictable.
They are similar in action, as seen on film and still pictures, of the Brown Shirts of the Nazi SA in the era of the early 1930’s. But the SA actually got out and beat and bludgeoned people.
James Carville is vying for the role of Ernst Rohm who led the SA and had an untimely end during the “Night of the Long Knives”. Mr Carville should be careful. Mr. Rohm’s own side did him in.
Spot on.
Carville is doing everything he can to get his name back in front of the public. He’s a “has been” wanting to get back into the political race.
Well now, Graham Platner winning the Democratic party primary in Maine now make the Democratic party the official party of NAZI Fascists.
Graham Platner’a NAZI fascists ball caps adorned with a NAZI Deaths-Head are already on sale at your local Democratic party headquarters.
Nobody is less tolerant than the Fascist left. How is assaulting a speaker with very loud noises near her head not a crime?
I attended LSU after Carville left. He is an embarrassment to the school. Vitriol was always a defining part of his personality. He wasn’t praying to the God of Christianity to rain more rage on others. He exhorts others to violence while remaining safe in his home. He is a loud mouthed coward. The Dems want to stoke a violent reaction from the right so they can point to conservatives as the violent party.
Carville appears to be in decline, but like all crazy, nasty people, he will continue spouting his vitriol for years to come.
If Carville actually said that, and it’s not some computer generated garbage, he is more mentally unstable than I previously understood. He seems to be in real need of psychiatric help.
Hope Mary has the guns and knives locked up.
I do not know what further evidence is needed to see these people, the modern left in general, are insane. Not hyperbole. We created the perfect storm over the past two decades, and we have reached the point of conflation. Disgusting. Ironically, even though leftists blare ear-piercing noise, there seems to be no waking blue voters from their slumber.
what further evidence is needed … wait! Its just 2 videos you dumbass. So extrapolate 2 videos and you get … what? A perfect storm. Seriously, where do yo get such stupid ideas?
James has been pointing out the stupid and crazy by the leftists for months if not years.
How is it his fault leftist illiberal Democrats say and show us exactly how they have embraced stupid and crazy for, well, over a decade now.
I’d save your breath in getting any civil conversation with this Anonymous person. My guess is he’s a male, somewhat unhinged and always using epithets against those on this forum. In essence, a crybaby who dumps his cereal on the floor because his parents took away his favorite toy.
phantomboldly5cb0d04b6f,
Just pointing out the facts. And those facts are an anathema to him.
Carville puts to shame that little girl in ‘The Exorcist’ (1973) movie…
I suspect this violent demonstration against TPUSA was planned, organized and financed by a 3rd party. Where were the police to protect the speakers from being assaulted?
@unadulterated
It was. All of them have been. Left-wing activism hasn’t been organic or grassroots for decades. As much as dems love to project, these are their foot soldiers, and they know it. Your average 20 year old today has been indoctrinated to be dependent, reactive, and paranoid since childhood, they don’t have any idea how ignorant they are. There’s actually a term for it, The Dunning-Kruger Effect.
When X tried to convince us how smart he was, he referred to the “Krueger-Dunning” effect.
I laughed my head off. THat’s why I don’t believe he is an AI creation, because AI would have self-corrected. He is real, just a low clown filled with pretend that we all see through, who for some reason feels the need to criticize Turley.
James Carville is one ugly no life brain dead jerk. He has no soul and should be Putin’s left hand man.

There is no reason with that crowd. They cannot and will refuse to be reasoned with. Recent history has and is showing that they are willing to kill as a testament to their unbridled rage. At some point there will be an irretrievable tipping point where rage will be met with rage. Then they will begin to suffer the the same fate that they intend and have inflicted upon MAGA. Ask not,” for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.”
There is no reason with that crowd. They cannot and will refuse to be reasoned with. … its a mob you dumb f_uck.
Which is more hateful … a non-violent person with “hateful values”, or a hateful mob physically assaulting a non-violent person with “hateful values”?
to S.B.B., Esq. your puzzle needs tweaking in this case as there is no ‘non-violent person with “hateful values..” ‘just a non-violent person with different values, which a large number of people would consider normal…. and regardless of the non-violent person’s values, there is no excuse for physically assaulting or abusing someone because you don’t like their values…
Trying to be profound eh? Fail.
Must have waited a lifetime to write that eh?
Is it profound if it is true? And as we can see by the video and all the previous videos of similar actions taken by leftists, it is true.
You shouldn’t be drinking this early in the day.
Yes, Professor, we know that these people exist. They have always been there, usually nursing their hatred in dark corners of our world. The question I had hoped to see answered by you is: how can they be crushed? How can decent people deal with the haters who sometimes feel they can attack and destroy what we have built? Does our tolerance for “free speech” simply encourage these animals?
Thank you for responding.
By the sound of your comment, there is hatred in your dark corners too.
Amend the constitution to eliminate protests in any form violent or not. Find the funding of these sick people and put them in jail.
No let us not follow our misguided European Cousins. Rather in such instances let local authorities establish free speech zones nearby but not blocking entrance to venue where events are being held. Same rules apply to right and left. Block the entrance violate the personal space of someone get arrested. Then stay in jail for 24 hrs before charges are pressed or dropped.
Many of these people want to believe they are part of something important. It allows and demands action, suitable for unstudied young adults. There are no long treatises on political theory as required reading, just action and talking points, embedded in hate. And, it’s an easy revolution with scarcely any risk. Perfect.
Many of the commenters here want to believe they are part of something important. Delusion.
But you could not be more wrong.
We are here, part of something important.
It is called America.
gdonaldallen,
That is a good point.
They have been sold a lie they are fighting . . . something.
These people are truly demented and satanic. The fact that they are so brazen and shameless in acting ouut such shameful conduct should be deeply troubling.
demented and satanic? So says anon.
Alright you filthy MAGAots, show your rage. Let loose, show how ugly you are.
It seems those tolerant liberals are the filthy maggots showing rage, not conservatives. Maybe you have a reading and comprehension problem?
It seems those tolerant Republicans here are the filthy maggots showing rage, not conservatives. Maybe you have a reading and comprehension problem?
Um… showing rage eh? You SF.
Thanks you made my day. It always makes my day when I trigger a liberal troll! LOL and you are triggered.
That would be the libs you dummy
