Univision's Attack on Donald Trump Backfires
NewsBusters ^ | 6-27-2015 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 06/27/2015 1:56:41 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Oh please, Br'er Fox, don't throw me into the briar-patch.”

So goes the line from the old American and long ago Disney-ized folk tale Song of the South by Joel Chandler Harris. The rabbit pleads with the fox not to throw him into the briar patch. The fox does just what he is asked not to do - and thus tossed into the thicket where rabbits thrive, the rabbit escapes. Laughing all the way.

The scene comes to mind with the news that Univision has abruptly told Donald Trump that they will no longer carry the Trump-owned Miss Universe pageant. Why? It seems that the network is displeased that in his announcement speech The Donald said:

When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

I can’t remember when I’ve read a more silly, ridiculous, pinhead comment on FR than yours upthread....and I’ve been on this board for 17 years and have read plenty of them!


Donald Trump.. is loyal to Donald Trump... and what benefits Donald Trump..

How do I know this?.. History.. his history.. he has supported democrats with no qualms.. like forever...

He goes where the influence is.. with all the loyalty of a Tasmanian Devil.. Coyote.. or democrat politician..
Zero principles.. that he will not “break”..

Democrats and the democrat party are evil.. always have been..
Trump does not care.. a bit.. a smidgeon.. a scintilla..

He whispers in silly women’s ears and some of them follow him..
And not a few evil bastards.. with similar traits..

Trump should buy Univision and change the programming to educate people on success in America, not abuse them through racial politics and becoming servants to the democrat party.

Yup. Too many Freepers like gutless, politically correct, marshmellows. Anyone who speaks out like Trump scares ‘em. They also suffer from class envy.

May I remind you that not so unlike Trump, President Reagan was an active, ardent Democrat for 17 years....and moreover, was a contributor to the Democrat Party and many of its causes.

And he whispered into pretty women's ears any number of times.

Try again.

I live in NC. It’s always pretty well over by the time we vote. I can live pretty much with any of them except Trump but he doesn’t stand a chance anyway except in the fevered minds of a small minority on the right.

Do you have a ticket in your mind that you favor?

It’s a simple question.

Not really...it’s a simple answer. They all have good points and bad points. For me right now it’s a vote against Hillary or no vote at all. Sorry it’s the plain and simple truth.

It does not take long to weed the left out. I don't care if your Raleigh or not. You are dishonest and unable to take a stand against the attack on FReedom. You need the government more than the government needs you.

True.. I held that against him... but voted for him anyways, twice.. like I had a choice..

I would vote for Trump as well... If I had too...
Even tho.. I feel he would disappoint.. badly..

I would vote for PeeWee Herman(probably a democrat) over the Beast or Obama..

BUT... not gladly.. so far Ted seems to be genuine.. I’m going with Ted..

But would not be over-surprised if he turned out to be another poseur.. like Bush.. or Jeb.. or Myth Romney..

Even though I think voting(itself) is a delusion for the rubes.. especially in feral elections, and most States and localities..

Waaaa..” It’s ok...I’m not an attack dog”. You and Trump are made for each other. He needs a mark and you are a mark.

Yes! Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is great.

I liked that pumpkin-spice flavored coffee they offered at Halloween several years ago, too. It hit the spot on a chilly Fall morning.

This article has hit it right on the head. If you fight back with the same tough tactics the left uses they have no clue of what do do. Republicans are supposed to fold at the first sign of a smear.

I remember that one two. The supermarket carried that flavor or something like it in the coffee section too.

I’ll put it another way, no way Cruz or anyone else will take Trump as #2.

Exactly. Why would Cruz or anyone want a pro-amnesty candidate like Trump as his running mate?

That is just ridiculous.

Trump is the only candidate, saying we need to build a real true fence, on our entire southern border.

The only one.

You want ridiculous?

Ridiculous is people, you, using the "premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web" to promote a candidate who says he supports AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS.

You should tell your guy, to get with it.

My guy isn't for making voting citizens of the ILLEGAL trash that is already here.

Yours is.
