OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore

THE DAILY BEAST ^ | 08.27.15 | Barrett Holmes Pitner

[McGruff]

As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in the crowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.

What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

And he believes a couple of criminals. Racist much? lol

[Souled_Out]

I like the tone of your reply.

The Daily Beast removed commenting from their site. Guess they were sick of people making mincemeat of their arguments.

I have found that blacks can say any outrageous thing they want to with no repercussions. Their ancestors were slaves so it give them the right.

Rubbish. So Trump needs to answer for this? Obama's feet were never held to the fire about the stupid things his supporters said.

[Fido969]

A fantasy in the demented “journo-lists”-ers mind.

You know, if Trump’s security people could track down ONE lefty plant screaming racist slogans, and publicize it, that would discredit a lot of this argument.

Yeah, just like all those phantom racist remarks the left lied about during a Tea Party, anti-Obamacare rally in DC as Pelosi and John Lewis and compatriots walked through the crowd.

Waiting for the recording of all these screams of white power. This is one of their favorite Alinsky tactics.

[Awgie]

There will be plenty of union thug plants at Trump rallies. Also dishonest protest signs made by dems to discredit Trump. All they need is one picture of a union thug plant holding a “Mexican Go Home” sign. It will go viral.

If I were at a Trump rally I would confront the impostors.

How about the Obama-supporting reporter who killed white people because of Obama's ginning up the race war?

[Genoa]

Maybe there are plants. But there are a lot of genuine mouthy jackwagons around.

BS..

[gr8eman]

Yes...what Trump is doing is fleshing out all the commies and their crypto buddies in the GOPe

[Souled_Out]

Excellent point.

[Jane Long]

I think they filmed ONE guy saying this....which the crowd then quickly shut him out/up.

The two idiots messing with the homeless dude - and blaming it on Trump - was never proven. (hearsay)

Yes, the desperate and tattered race card is being pulled out, since nothing else seems to be working.

“OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore”

It’s pretty damn funny to me, I’m laughing my butt off. And I’m all in for Cruz.

The “elite” of both parties can choke on it and die.

[DaxtonBrown]

[Even his campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” stokes a nationalistic fervor that makes some Americans—predominately conservative white Americans—feel as though they are under attack from ruinous anti-American elements that need to be defeated.]

Gee, what gave this guy a clue?

[Demiurge2]

“During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard...”
And the problem with “white power” is....?

I'm one of the main detractors of Trump here on FR, but that writer is full of more crap than a Christmas goose. I'm not buying the racial garbage.

Stopped right there.

[ladyjane]

They love the bombast, the arm-waving and the red-meat attacks but by large, many of them have no real idea what Trump stands for or let me rephrase that, what he currently “stands” for.

So you believe Trump supporters here on FR are low information voters?

Are you from the RNC?
