Because it's just the right thing to do in this instance?

or is winning more important?

Maybe he doesn't care what his followers say? I wouldn't.

Why are the expectations different for a Republican than for a Democrat?

Could it be because the Republican base want a xenophobic candidate, whereas the Democratic base would not tolerate a xenophobic candidate?

Again Glen.....until Hillary and Team said something. The MS Media didn't even jump on it.

I am sure the Founding Fathers and those that came Right after, heard a lot of personal attacks too.

Just another way to shut down those who got something to say. Whether its liked or not. Naturally the left don't like it, because BO was mentioned.

What did "Hillary and Team" say that was as bad as allowing one's supporter to propose getting rid of everyone of a certain religion? That's also referred to as "ethnic cleansing", you know.

Cmon Glen.....anytime Hillary or her people are speaking. Its bad.....and that's not like Bad in what is Cool either. :mrgreen:

Also, he did ask what would be done with their training camps where they train to kill us. Maybe he forgot they are killing everybody else too.

Why was that forgotten with what else he said?

C'mon, MMC - you made the claim that Hillary and Team "said something bad" that the MSM ignored, and I'm asking you what it was. The only bad thing I remember her doing was the claim about the sniper shooting at her. That's bad IMO...but it's only her, and pales in comparison to allowing discussion of "getting rid of all the Muslims" i.e. ethnic cleansing.

Asking "What are we going to do with the Muslim problem in the country" does not equal to let's get rid of all Muslims i.e. ethnic cleansing.

Why do you have to jump to extremes to ask a simple question?

Could it be you have no idea what you are talking about?

Do you expect Hillary to answer every crackpot that shows up at her events? Maybe you think no crackpot would ever show up to a Democratic event.

Let's take your idea as truth. Is being xenophobic worse than being racist?

Oh, it was her out attacking BO peep back in 2008. When she talked about the Sky parting and the Sun would come down and the oceans would rise. All because the Peep had spoken.

Maybe, the guy didn't know there are others with training camps that are out killing everybody they come across.

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

14 pages....

Does anyone take one of the following ideas seriously?
1) Obama is a Muslim.
2) Obama was not born in the USA.

It just seems to me that people who pretend to believe this do so just for the heck of it, or because it prevents them from having to think of proper arguments. It doesn't matter whether your are left or right those are just really dumb statements to believe in.

That is not what this thread is about.

Hm, let me see here...I take it by your last sentence that you're accusing the Dems of racism. So...let's look at that. The Dems have the strong support of ALL minorities (including the Asians who are generally better-paid and better-educated than whites), even though most minorities are socially conservative...whereas the Republicans have the support of precisely NONE of the significant minorities.

So...if the Dems are racist, why would ALL the sizable minorities strongly support the Dems? And why would 40-odd percent of whites support the Dems if the Democratic party was some sort of everybody-against-the-whites party like I've seen many conservatives claim?

In other words, actions speak louder than words...and minorities will support and vote for those who welcome them and treat them as equals. Just because you yourself want to believe that the Democratic party is racist...that doesn't make it so.

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.

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

Whatever Hillary did or did not do wrong, such does not justify what Trump did...particularly when taken into context things he's already said about Mexicans and immigrants.

Maybe you think it's okay to ignore a leading presidential candidate's continuing (and insulting) marginalization of minority ethnicities and religions, to try to pish-posh it by (inaccurately) claiming the other person's just as bad...but I've seen enough xenophobia and racism and intolerance to last a lifetime.

By whose rules?

Whatever Hillary did or did not do wrong? establishes a rule how? And who sets it?

Look, Hillary herself set some new rules on nastiness in campaigns against Obama, now here, now Obama, well there was his ever present RACE CARD, and since all the "he could have been my son"

This ****s in the sewer, Clinton, Obama and now Clinton took us there, from gutter to sewer, and now YOU say Trump is somehow unfair?

Grow some skin my friend, you are defending the most corrupt politician to come along perhaps ever, against a rude, wealthy winner take all candidate who is telling the truth about your buddies ther ****ing illegals. More than a third have diseases US taxpayers will have to pay for, nearly half have criminal records, along with the trucks loaded with human garbage are drugs and guns, and you want it way....and blame it on Reublicans and guns when black people start killing each other.
Trump is right, he is dead on, he is tapping the single most asinine policy of the American Socialsist, and he is free to say whatever the **** he likes, and you are completely powerless to stop that.

After the sleaze fest of '08, the dirty tricks of 2012, [can we forget "you can keep your plan" YOU whining about Trump is outright hilarious.

Get used to it, because he really IS out to keep that filth out of the country.

I guess it proves the left's public effort to pigeon hole and define what the Christian Right is and what they believe in, has failed miserably. No surprise

So divorce is OK? Even though Jesus said it isn't?

I guess we need to reconsider calling them "Christian."

What are we going to do about the Mason66 problem in this country?

There is absolutely no way to his question as anything other than some form of genocide. Once again, people take the silliest positions in an attempt to defend all Stupid Trump.

Yeah sarcasm, mocking BO and the way he talked. Being divisive she said, with Trump. Yet, it is exactly what she has done and will do.

I am reminded of the famous scene from Newsroom, when it was revealed, in later episodes, that the famous scene regarding the "What makes America so great," was staged and set up by the character Will McAvoy, himself. He planted the girl there that asked the question.....

The bolded part is absolutely true.

Doing something about something or someone is killing it to you.

Im familiar with the scene but unfamiliar with the claim he set it all up. Which episode shows Will setting it all up?

From my view it looked like a combination of events:

1. The girl was truly planning to ask that question.

2. Mchale knew she was going to ask the question before entering the auditorium.

3. Mchale wrote down "It's not" and "But it can be" without Will's knowledge and Will thinking he saw her is what sent him over the edge.

I dont think Will had any intention of giving up his ratings romance before Mchale came back because his audience was his only love since she broke his heart.

What I loved most about the series is how much impact one person can have over other people. Without Charlie orchestrating Mchale's return, confronting Will, and keeping the execs at bay, none of the changes would have happened. It was simply inspiring to see how far the love of one person can reach to both the immediate people and those around the world.

It is flat out dishonest and dumb to try and claim the question was not poised towards genocide in some form. Can you think of any other question in the past century that was somewhat similar?
