95,000 Words, Many of Them Ominous, From Donald Trump’s Tongue
NY Times ^ | 12/5/15 | PATRICK HEALY and MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 12/05/2015 12:25:01 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

The dark power of words has become the defining feature of Mr. Trump's bid for the White House to a degree rarely seen in modern politics...

New York Times analyzed every public utterance by Mr. Trump over the past week from rallies, speeches, interviews and news conferences to explore the leading candidate's hold on the Republican electorate for the past five months. The transcriptions yielded 95,000 words and several powerful patterns, demonstrating how Mr. Trump has built one of the most surprising political movements in decades and, historians say, echoing the appeals of some demagogues of the past century....

....constant repetition of divisive phrases, harsh words and violent imagery that American presidents rarely use, based on a quantitative comparison of his remarks and the news conferences of recent presidents, Democratic and Republican.

The latest hate speech from the NY Slimes, a rag that has never seemed to find divisive and harsh words from B. Hussein Obama, the biggest failure in the executive branch since James Buchanan.

Before Obama, that is. Of course, he only uses those words and phrases when he talks about Americans.

I loved today when he said “chicken shits”. I hadn’t heard him say that before. The crowd went wild.

If I was a terrorist, I would strike where the NYTs has its highest subscribership, cause that’s where all the unarmed pajama boys live.

I like the way you think. It seems they are reduced to counting words now. What a bunch of slime!

Speaking of Obama, is there any evidence that he eats pork? A Christian would, but not a muslim.

I’m anxiously awaiting the NYT critical analysis of the last 95,000 words that 0bama has uttered.

'His entire campaign is run like a demagogue's - his
language of division, his cult of personality, his manner
of categorizing and maligning people with a broad brush',
said Jennifer Mercieca, an expert in American political
discourse at Texas A&M University. 'If you're an illegal
immigrant, you're a loser. If you're captured in war,
like John McCain, you're a loser. If you have a
disability, you're a loser. It's rhetoric like Wallace's
-it's not a kind or generous rhetoric..

Absolutely astonishing in its projection onto Trump of everything that's true of Obama.

What a sad, sorry excuse for ‘free press’. How far NYT has fallen from its once greatness.

I’m sure they counted and analized Hillary’s and Harry’s and Barry’s words. /s

America has woken up, and NYT is now a cornered rat.

If those 95,000 words from Trump appear ominous to the anti-American, traitorous, scummy, liberal, lying, tyrant-loving, spittle-lipped turds inhabiting the hive of scum and villainy known as the New York Times, then he is saying all the right things.

Trump can rent (or buy) his own C-130, and (to paraphrase the infamous Fitzy) fly over 620 Eighth Avenue in New York and dumbo drop 5000 bags of rotten salad and broken dicks on them, and I would consider that money well spent.

" the biggest failure in the executive branch since James Buchanan Jimmy Carter. "

Buchanan gets a bad rap from the Lincoln cult for believing that both secession and a war to stop it were illegal. He himself had sent the Army to put down the Mormon insurrection in the Utah Territory so he wasn't against using the Army when he believed it was legal. The Mormon War ended up being a moot point because the LDS capitulated before things got ugly.

It would be interesting to know if pork is ever served in the White Hut? Especially at family dinners.

Too bad the chef is not speaking.
