Trump tweet using Star of David draws "outrage and bafflement."

Mycroft said:
Of course, it's the liberals. I don't see anybody else making a big deal about a six-pointed star.

Liberals aren't the ones who lifted a white supremacist meme. At least not this time.
 

And believe me when I say there isn't a Jew on earth who's divorcing that six pointed star from the context and the source. Not a one. As for whether or not he's surfing the internet for this kind of stuff, I don't know how avidly he's doing it, but this wouldn't be the first time. Remember this infographic?




Trump retweeted that gem from a white supremacist following (if the adjusted Swastika is anything to go by) a neo-Nazi German faith movement. Unless you believe that's not a Swastika in the user's handle, just a cross with clockwise lines attached to the ends?

Here's that user's bio. Cute.

Out of context? Only in convoluted thoughts would it be.

The use of the star in that image is innocuous just as it was in the image tweeted.
You should really learn to stop assuming.


rocket88 said:
If they didn't make a mistake, why did they rush to correct it? None of the Trumpeteers can answer that.

What are you talking about?
This has already been answered, specifically to you.
It was done to appease the complaining morons.

It was done by Trump's staff before he knew it was done.


rocket88 said:
You guys are as pathetic as you are predictable. Maybe Trump should take "personal responsibility."

Your reply is stupid.
Trump should not have to take responsibility for the convoluted thoughts of others.
You are the one assuming something nefarious or wrong from the image when clearly there is no such intent involved.


rocket88 said:
Bull. They knew they made a mistake and instead of taking responsibility, just blamed someone else.

Personal responsibility is for conservatives too. Maybe Trump should try it.
Click to expand...
No. That is what you absurdly choose to assume.
There was nothing wrong with the image in the first place.
Staff removed it to appease the morons complaining.


rocket88 said:
I think when you use a white supremacist source, it really draws it into question.
Click to expand...
You are showing you are not thinking.
Or paying attention as the information was already provided in this thread.
8chan is not White supremacist.
The image appeared on Twitter 7 days prior to it appearing on 8chan. That is where it came from.


You have already been corrected on this yet you continue spewing false information.

Could it be that Trump and his followers are active users of the white supremacy sites?

The image was found on Twitter.


Wiggen said:
, you don't lift it from an anti-Semitic white supremacy site.
Click to expand...
Good thing that it wasn't lifted from such a site then, correct?

If you had paid attention to that which came before, you would have know that.


Wiggen said:
The thing is, they know it's anti-Semitic and they're proud of it.
Click to expand...
Your statement is stupid.
It is nothing more than an assumption based on your own hatred. It isn't ant-Semitic.




Cardinal said:
, but it is curious how much time he spends on white supremacist sites.
Click to expand...
Another foolish assumption.


Cardinal said:
Seeing as the image also happened to originate on a white supremacist,
Click to expand...
You again show you do not know what you are talking about, even after being previously corrected.

It did not originate on a white supremacist site.

Don't draw the wrong conclusion from the visual. It's just Trump and some guy in a white hoodie.[/QUOTE]

Not a valid comparison. It is actually convoluted logic to think it is.

I don't even understand how people even found that star to be anti-semetic. It's just grapsing at straws.

It's Trump. They hate him and will anything....ANYTHING to attack him.

I only asked because pages of 6 pointed star images don't suggest antisemitism to most people unless they want to use it to make a political point.

Did you miss the part where the symbol was lifted from a white supremacist website? Or are you afflicted the malady afflicting many Trumpies - selective recall accompanied by an ability to forget many unpleasant things?

I just read that a 6 pointed star represents The Mark Of The Beast.
I bet you're thinking "oooooohhhh, NOW I get it. Makes total sense now."
