BTW, Exterminator saw it, I saw it, and multiple sources are reporting it.  Just because you don't want it to be true doesn't make it any less factual.

It would have been helpful to see all of the comments instead of just a few.

Besides the fact there is a group of people out there doing crap like this to stir things up. Look what old Hill is, or was, doing to Bernie's fb page to try to bring him down. The libs don't like Fox and this is the kind of thing they would do. Look at the paid protesters that are going around to Trump's speeches for instance.

Dear god; could a person possibly be less informed or more delusional?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

WTF are you talking about?

The date on both articles is from just this month.  May, 2016.
I can't help that it's in no way related to those comments and is at least 3 yrs old if not older if you're referring to that video clip.

   TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, DONALD TRUMP!  :toothless:  Donald Trump had two wives who were immigrants.   :smile: :wink:  It goes to show you that some immigrants will do some things that an American woman won't do.    :choo:  :choo:  :choo:                                                :zoners:

Yep, I saw this the other day.  But they're not racists!   :rolleyes:

They just disagree with his polices.  They're not racists.

</sarcasm>

On the Rethug side, the entire movement has its roots in racism and bigotry - white backlash.

That's why the constituency is so easily whipped into a frenzy by racist and bigoted propaganda - the fear of the other, and loss of white supremacy and status.

They're scared to death and Trump has been a master at exploiting their fear and presenting them with scapegoats.

They're also authoritarians too.  Don't forget that part.

That's why their 'solutions' are what they are - restrictive and oppressive.

Take immigration for example... 

"Build a wall" and "deport 'em all!" without any thought of whether it would actually work, how would it be paid for, or whether you could actually deport over ten million people.  Drug smuggling has shown that walls, fences, etc. don't stop the smuggling any more than they would stop illegal immigration.  I do not think that over ten million people could be rounded up for deportation without MAJOR violence.  I'd like to hope NO one in this country wants that.

...Or terrorism...

Regular crime in America is a FAR bigger problem than those bogeyman terrorists hiding under your bed to slaughter your family.  These skeerdy-cats don't have the sense to rank their silly fears by actual probability.  They're getting completely scared of anyone who isn't like them - white, straight, x-tian.

As an aside, did you hear about the mathematician hauled off a plane and interrogated because some woman saw him doing calculations and reported him as a terrorist?

There are FAR too many stupid and scared people in the world taking up good folk's air.
