2nd Amendment comments won't hurt & everyone will know that in a week
Political Ref ^ | 09/18/16 | Aaron Rossiter

Posted on 09/18/2016 8:39:52 PM PDT by TheRef

Trump's poll surge is about to get tested. The MSM will test it like auto manufacturers test the integrity of their frames, with repeated head-on collisions while they studiously note where they might hit again to yield a total structure failure. The question is, however, after months of incredible outrage directed at Trump, how much damage can the MSM do to the Donald?

The MSM thought that Donald Trump had a bad Friday, not as bad as face-planting into the Scooby van, but bad. As Trump basher Glenn Thrush wrote in Politico, Trump could get cocky and make a mistake and the liberal MSM is waiting for it. The media thinks they witnessed such a mistake Friday night in front a raucous crowd, but they are wrong. Here's why.

The imagining of what would happen if the Secret Service surrendered their weapons is in reality a pointed criticism of Clinton hypocrisy. The problem for Trump is that the liberal media, whose self-described mission it is to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, don't much like the type of afflicted that he represents. So instead of viewing the remarks as a populist critique of an elitist, MSM spun it as unhinged.

How one views these comments is determined by one's perspective on gun rights. The MSM doesn't value 2nd Amendment rights so they don't understand why people are fearful of Hillary, who many view as deserving of the kind of condemnation Trump delivered. She relies on gun protection but wants to take your guns away and will appoint a Justice who will do just that. That is, in actual fact, genuine elitist hypocrisy.

The comments Trump made, when viewed as criticism of banning guns, make sense. Most Americans value the 2nd Amendment, so they instinctively disagree with the MSM take.

Trump wasn’t inciting violence, he was pointing out your blatant hypocrisy and everybody knows it so quit wasting our time with this nonsense MSM pukes.

This is the second time the RAT media has claimed Trump was inciting people to kill Hillary. They are so desperate they can’t even find a new attack. Thus the rebirth (pun intended) if the Birther nonsense. They are choking on their own bile.

Well said. What Trump said is as plain as black and white. That these journalist misinterpret what he says, speaks much about how these same types flunked their English Lit classes when they could not interpret the poetry. They may have jumped into journalism because that is the only study they could pass. Morons.

Let’s see, Friday Trump got 30 minutes of free campaign advertising at his hotel and surrounded himself with military elite. He also threw the birther issue back into Hillary’s face and put an end to it as far as he was concerned.

Then on Friday, Trump became the first Republican Presidential Nominee to visit Little Haiti. After Little Haite, Trump had an amazing rally in Miami where he took the stage with the banner behind him showing Les Deplorables and the soundtrack to Les Miserables.

I am still giggling about the media rick-roll and still getting shivers with the Les Deplorables walk-up music.

Overall I would say Trump had one of the best days ever on Friday.

Wonder how much a pay-per-view Bumfight of some bum beating the teeth out of Glenn Thrush’s lie-hole would haul in?

The good thing about the video is that you wouldn't have to smell Thrush Mitting his pants in fear...

They want us to disarm, then they can lead by example.

I think you may be right, but after seeing Jake Tapper completely lie throughout the day by not correcting their report on the “bombings,” I think we may be in new MSM madness territory. We’ll see. I hope these terrible attacks overshadow this nonsense in the news.

At Mediate I posted this:

You live a very dishonest life.

I know progressives hate logic. It shows their hypocrisy. Suggesting that these elitist snobs live under the same rules as the common people offends you?
Disarming the elites is a call for violence, but disarming the “common” people is not?
Is that the best you have?

Exactly, disarming her bodyguards or disarming the public is the same thing. The only difference is that the elites want to keep their protection.

I am gafr60. Playing with neofascists and commies is fun.

I think it's funny, because by the media bringing it up, people are reminded of how much they hate Hillary. ;-)

Anyone who heard Trump actually speak it knew that Trump was talking about the double standard that Clinton, and the elite, live by.

I personally don’t think that the SS giving up their guns would make much difference in Hillary’s case.

After all, it seems they are mainly concerned with blocking access to her by unfriendly reporters (those not brainwashed), blocking unflattering but true photographs, and shielding (with their bodies) her from videos of her collapsing.
