Donald Trump Is Our Jean-Marie Le Pen
The Daily Beast ^ | November 27, 2015 | Barrett Holmes Pitner, politics and race-and-culture journalist based in Washington, DC.

Compare their quotes; uncanny. But there’s more to it than that. We may be entering a post-two party era. Guess who could start a new one?

The continued radicalization of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has quickly become a movement centered on the fear and anxiety of foreign or non-white American bodies, and the hate-filled propaganda and lies that sustain it. He is coalescing his own American far-right political party with roots in white supremacy and neo-Nazi movements. He is copying the modus operandi of the resurgent far-right movements that are sweeping across Europe. He is becoming America’s own Le Pen—Marine or Jean-Marie, take your pick.

Following the horrible terrorist attacks that befell Paris roughly two weeks ago, Marine Le Pen said, “France and the French are no longer safe,” and added that “no matter what the European Union says about this, it is essential that France regains control of its border, for good. Without borders, there is no protection or security possible.”

This response is very much reminiscent of Trump’s rhetoric. It touches upon one’s physical safety being in jeopardy, but also an entire culture’s way of life being under attack with nowhere to hide. Following the Paris attacks, Trump also perpetuated anti-Muslim and anti-African American propaganda by claiming that he witnessed Muslims celebrating the collapse of the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks and by tweeting an erroneous graphic that claimed that black Americas caused over 80 percent of white deaths by homicide....

And Hillary Clinton is Lucrezia Borgia.

With a strong dose of Chairman Mao thrown in.

Thank God I left the Democratic Party and rejected liberalism out of my life before my brain turned into absolute mush like these idiots at the Daily Beast.

I love how some FR “Trump needs to be stopped” groupies have found themselves on the same side as these loons, and still have no idea why the majority aren’t seeing their POV.

And considering how much of the actual statistics in crime, on a daily basis, is NOT reported in any of the media, the problem may be even more pernicious and more ingrained than any of us know.

It is nearly impossible to exaggerate the amount of intense hatred the core of the Islamic community has for their “kafir” neighbors. It is only the thought the “kafir” might resist pretty strenuously, that curbs the enthusiasm of the radical jihadists that even now dwell among us.

But like alligators that overcome their distrust of humans, a sudden new source of inspiration and access to basic craven wants becomes available to them, and they cannot resist feeding upon that largesse.

When you are up to your a$$ in alligators, it may be too late to drain the swamp.

I love the smell of liberals cowering in fear and panic.

If "Donald Trump Is Our Jean-Marie Le Pen", then Michael Bloomberg is also.

Support Trump or not, you got to admit this guy has put the laser on the incredible bias by the MSM. If he blinks the wrong way, there he is on the headlines the next day with RACIST and HITLER by his name. Meanwhile Hillary is completely coddled and protected, even after Juanita Broaddrick came out this week exposing Hillary as the absolute hypocrite she is. The media in this country is absolutely vile and it makes me wonder why do we have an FEC? What do these idiots do? We have a major POTUS election being affected by slander and libel. We have so called journalists actually attributing quotes to Trump that he never said! What the hell is that? What do you think would happen to a reporter if that reporter asked Hillary if she supported rape and Hillary didn’t answer and then then next day on the headlines you saw HILLARY SUPPORTS RAPE??

I don’t usually bother with the DB anymore, since they went yellow and dumped their comments.

Chicken-s#it libtard sites that are too afraid to take comments put themselves out of the game.

Trump has two kids married to Jews. That alone starts to put a chink in this premise.

Barrett Holmes Pitner, politics and race-and-culture journalist based in Washington,

What the heck is a race and culture journalist then?
A Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton clone development program?
Why does such a stupid job even exist?

I’m not all that into globalism nor the self centered and often, Marxist, Islamic (and other assorted foreigners), elitists who run it. I’m surely not into invasions by people suffering from ethnic, racial or religious superiority and division.
