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

Scouring thru the bottom feeders. I hope you did a disinfection upon exiting that place.

It was exactly what one would expect, and frankly more than a little boring. Read two or three "The Joo-controlled banks and media...!!" posts and that's more or less the site as a whole.

Trumps initial tweet and then the ... "cover-up tweet".

Lol. The superimposed circle is a teeny bit too small and two points of the original star are still visible.

The bozo even screwed up his backpedal.



Whew! Good save!
 
If you tweeted a racist image, do you think you'd be called racist for it?

I'm pretty sure you would be, so feigning outrage that Trump got called racist for tweeting a racist image is irrational.
There you go with that ill-educated claim of racist again.
You are assuming it is racist when it clearly isn't.
 
Excon's verdict: not racist!

The rational thing would be to concede the point that Donald tweeted a racist image, either purposefully or by 'accident'. That would be rational.

There is no rationality with Trump. Either you are a worshipper or not.

1. This isn't about me.
2. Clearly you show you do not understand what racism is vs that of antisemitism.

Manufactured "gotchas" appear to be the norm for The TrumpHaters. The shrill shreaking reminds me of their Precious Hillary. The fatal irony is that they actually think they are being persuasive, like all us Trump lovers are going to quit and go home and pout. How silly.

Remember Haters, "The winner laughs and tells funny jokes. The loser cries, 'DEAL, DEAL!' "
 
So it's just impulsive trolling? And that's what you want your President to do?

You're going to vote for a candidate that is under criminal investigation.
 

Going for the "gotcha" is a modern political malady not limited to party or candidate, IMO.
 

As much as I despise Trump - and those oh-so-patriotic Republicans who think he's the Second Coming of Reagan - this is one thing that's not his fault at all. He almost certainly wasn't the one who designed the page, and there's no indication that the one who did was an anti-Semite. He could've just wanted to give the imagery of a sheriff's star for all we know.

If there's proof that Trump deliberately approved anti-Semitic imagery, then have at it - but for now (and unlike the freaking untold scores of demonstrably outrageous lies he's told so far in his campaign) he's innocent of wrongdoing in this matter.
 

No, he didn't design the page. He just took it from a white supremacist site and retweeted it.
 
Is there proof of that?

The furthest back the image can be traced to is on a really horrific neo-Nazi site called /pol/ on June 22.

This incident spurred a discussion on whether Trump was a "fellow /pol/" and they proudly archived it. I could link to it but it's a pretty sick site and I'm not thrilled about sending them traffic.

Reddest of the RedStaters:

[h=3]Did the Trump Campaign Steal the Jew-Baiting Image from One of His Twitter Supporters | Red State[/h]
"As we reported yesterday, Trump finally tweeted something that was too offensive even for him to stand behind, as he deleted a tweet that called Hillary corrupt, complete with a Star of David over a field of money. It looks, at this point, like the Trump campaign just flat out stole it from one of Trump's many cellar dwelling twitter supporters and reposted it without attribution. Which is super classy.

NBC is reporting that the first known use of the image came from a Twitter user named @FishBoneHead1, whose twitter feed, is, well, pretty typical for a Trump supporter.

Late last night, it looks like FishBoneHead1 more or less confirmed that he was the originator of the image, as he tweeted to The Hill's twitter account the alleged "original image" complete with a watermark indicating that it was his creation:

It appears that the only modification the Trump campaign made to this image was... to flat out remove the credit for this twitter user so at least people would know who deserves the, uh, credit for this particular piece of Jew-baiting."
 

Well said. The guy has in-laws and grandkids that are Jewish for goodness sake.
 

Yep! Guilty, guilty, guilty.

I just saw the story on HuffPost before I read your response.

Before I saw the proof, I refused to call him anything but innocent in the matter...but now - GUILTY as charged!

Except that I posted that before I found out that yeah, the story (and the design) WAS lifted from a white supremacist site.

Ask yourself why it is that Trump would be reading - much less retweeting - anything from a white supremacist site.

Believe me when I say that this site on its worst day is a million times better than that site on its best. It exists to encapsulate everything that can be wrong with humans. And in just ten days the image found its way from a Neo-Nazi site and into Trump's campaign. Curious, that.
 
Yep! Guilty, guilty, guilty.

Wow. Assumptions galore.

1. It isn't a retweet.
2. You assume it is a supremacist site.
3. You need to ask yourself why you assume he didn't just find it on the net with an image search.

If Hitler went to /pol/ he'd say "Wow, these people really need to dial down the Nazi rhetoric."
