Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner - CNNPolitics.com
:shock:



Shame on Trump. And shame on this disgusting vile waste of assembled organic molecules.


At least McCain had the balls to tell that stupid old lady to sit down and shut up in 2008.

Your shock over Trump not correcting the person making the statement is rather disingenuous. For if you recall it was Hillary Clinton supporters that started all the crap on Obama not being born in the U.S. but instead Kenya. Politico, April 22, 2011: "The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama."

Also the first person to file a lawsuit over Obama's birth certificate was Philip Berg, a former deputy Pennsylvania attorney general and a self-described “moderate to liberal” who supported Clinton.

The perpetually offended do, especially on the internet. The rest of us have jobs or, at the very least, something better to do.

LOL,,, ok. I have to agree.

With all those women bailing on Hillary and calling her a liar. It looks like its slipping again, and we know already from past experience. That once desperation sets in with Hillary.

Then its throw everything she can including the kitchen sink. That's despite her not knowing where the kitchen sink is.....in a kitchen.

LOL!! So a person is a bigot if they don't say anything. That's a rather strict guideline you're practicing. Does that idea of yours apply to everyone?

If you're not a proactive social justice warrior, you are the problem. Apparently. Shrug. I think, at a certain point, people will start embracing the labels bigot and racist, just to watch their heads explode.

Words seems to be losing their meaning. For a while anyone who didn't agree with a leftist was a 'Fascist'. Now their vocabulary has expanded to include 'racist', 'bigot', and 'extremist', but that's progressive for you.

As a public figure - sure does- As an individual- it is called what you can live with.

"Touchet!" and the final blow. And there in lies the problem of finger pointing in history, it is usually not what is considered common wisdom.

But the truth of your remarks, the most telling are obscured by the skewering of said poster if you will, as "her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama." IS the truth. In the staged halcyon of her tenure at state, forgotten is the bitterness of the loss for the Clinton camp, the name calling rumor mongering and back-stabbing.

It should not be forgotten here....

I saw the birth certificate that was released online and my first impression was: FAKE! The fonts don't even match. Obama wasn't born in Hawaii.

And Muslims? All Trump said is, "We're going to be looking at a lot of things." Which is precisely what the voting majority wants.

Look, the Dems have been playing divisive politics for eight years now. It's time to conquer.

Yes the seeds of this disgusting rumor began with Hillary. Then it took root and flourished within the extreme right and appears the middle to some extent,of the republican Party.

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

Well I think that might be a matter of opinion, don't you?

Naturally it is. Just as some people used to hold the opinion that blacks need to be sterilized in order to keep whites from committing race suicide, and some people today hold the opinion that jews are all in some grand conspiracy to control the US government for the benefit of international banking. Those are all opinions. They simply aren't legitimate ones.

Look, the Left's been playing early 20th century for some time now; modernized stage perhaps but it's the exact same acts from the exact same play, and before it's over we're going to relive all of Wilson and WWI all over again, to include the espionage act, the alien and sedition acts, the pow/ alien camps, where my own g-grandfather was confined for being German. I don't think we should be quite so naive.

I sincerely doubt this, and see nothing that would suggest it.

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

Nobody said Trump does speak for Obushama. It is just a very sad and acerbic reflection of our electorate that so many people actually endorse such self inflicting hate and pretend the POTUS is not a position that requires anything remotely connected to civilization and the more combative, the better.

Trump failed to speak for himself. Anyone who does not see why needs a primer in Humanity 101.

Actually, Trump handled an off that wall question with the attention that it deserved, namely, he pretty much blew it off.

I don't think Trump's got anything to apologize for in the way he handled it, and I think all the faux outrage and butt hurt over the mere question just shows how far and deep into excessive PC 'hurtland', easy to offended and looking to be offended those that raise the outrage are.

"Anyone who does not see why needs a primer in Humanity 101." Why don't you tell us about it?

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

From Politico:

"We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. Our current President is one. We know he’s not even an American,” said a questioner at a town hall in New Hampshire. “We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question, when can we get rid of them?”

One could try to weasel out of it and say that "getting rid of them" referred only to the training camps, but the first sentence set the context for everything else he said. "We have a problem in this country, it's called Muslims." Not just the extremists, not just the training camps, but Muslims as a whole.

That's supporting ethnic cleansing.

You might hang that on the guy asking the question. Don't think that you can hang that on Trump though.

 

[eohrnberger]

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

no, it's weak because it took him that long to come up with a 4th grader level excuse?

and it's weak because it sees the tree and misses the forest. the guy insulted ALL MUSLIMS ; it wasn't just an OBAMA comment.

I don't recall Trump insulting ALL MUSLIMS. I recall Trump giving an off the wall question the lack of attention that it deserved.

Hmm, which excessively butt hurt reality are you from ?

 

[Roadvirus]

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

it's what he DIDN't say that makes him look bigoted

That's a grasp at desperation.

 

[eohrnberger]

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims,"

Can you see this?

I see that fine. Who said it? Trump? Nope. What's your point in blaming Trump for it?

I sincerely doubt this, and see nothing that would suggest it.

The banks were behind everything concerning WWI, everything from the Bolshevik revolutions to Pancho Villa. And there is a really interesting marriage that occurs between international houses that one would not believe possible. Zionism though is easy to disprove. And today we have corporations so large they can rival any bank; they are their own financiers. Still, you might consider studying this era more closely. The correlations are almost glaringly perceptible.

because we don't need a bigot as POTUS.

Why not? We already have a racist as POTUS.

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

Someone insulted the Dear Leader at a Trump rally, and now somehow it's Trump's fault for not defending him? BORING!

I don't think that's what offended them. It was that he called Obama a Muslim that offended them.

'Bama, no way, he's not a Muslim. Hell no.

 

[eohrnberger]

Re: Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event

it's what he DIDN't say that makes him look bigoted

What he says makes him look bigoted to you.
What he doesn't say makes him look bigoted to you.

Frankly, I think you don't like him, and that's fine, but that doesn't make Trump any sort of bigot, just because you don't like him. It does make me think, though, when you've ever met him face to face to render that judgement and formulate that opinion :shrug:

That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Stop apologizing for actual racism.

No one was offended. Opposing conspiracy theory and political swill is common decency and does not require offense to stand up against.

You, however, seem offended that most people expect such decency.

'Bama, no way, he's not a Muslim. Hell no.

Again, was it Trump that called Obama a Muslim in that question? No, I don't think so.

So Why the **** hang it on Trump? No reason at all that has anything to do with the question itself.

'Bama, no way, he's not a Muslim. Hell no.

Pretty much the entire comment was offensive on one level or another.

That said, I don't think it's fair to malign Trump for something one of his idiot followers said.
