Donald Trump's firing of racist adviser suggests he is now taking the... campaign...seriously <tr>

Earlier today, Business Insider's senior politics correspondent, Hunter Walker, revealed that a senior adviser to GOP front-runner Donald Trump has published many racist and otherwise offensive Facebook posts.

Specifically, the adviser, Sam Nunberg, called President Barack Obama a "Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser" and "Farrakahn's Messiah." He referred to Al Sharpton's daughter as "N---!" And so on.

Given Mr. Trump's own history of controversial and offensive remarks, including about Mexican immigrants, this discovery did not seem altogether surprising.

What was surprising, at least to this Trump campaign observer, was the campaign's response to this revelation.

Within an hour after being alerted to Nunberg's Facebook's posts, a Trump campaign spokesman told Business Insider that Nunberg will be "terminated immediately" once the posts' authenticity is verified.

The DNC talking points must be repeated at every opportunity regardless of their veracity.

"Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser"?
Agree - Accurate non racist remark about Obama, but the other stuff was bad.

I don’t understand people in politics who say objectionable things in internet postings. Did they really think that these statements would remain within their inner circle?

Farrakhan did call him “messiah” - well, at least before he called him a “murderer” about Khaddafi.

This is surprising? These chumps have no connection to reality.

I note the attempt to act as if Trump has his own "racial" problem to deal with. No he doesn't. He hires people of Mexican heritage all the time.

Telling the truth is not evidence of racism.

Every man should strive to keep himself in check, so I agree with your thoughts on politicians or people in view of the public.

It's not a lie.

Truth IS controversial and offensive to mandarins.

This lie here. Illegals are not “immigrants” in a legal sense or otherwise.
