Trump says it’s up to Obama to defend himself [On Whether he's Muslim or not]

Donald Trump was criticized for not correcting a questioner at an event Thursday night in Rochester, N.H., who said that President Obama is Muslim.

On Saturday morning, Trump used Twitter to defend his non-response to that questioner. Essentially he said it’s up to President Obama to defend himself.

Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. A no win situation!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

If the Soviet bloc wasn't the mother of liberation theology, it was certainly a sinister stepmother, enlisting Catholics in a geopolitical cause and inviting them to sell their souls for funding and support.

Only the naïve can disregard the mountain of evidence connecting liberation theology with Soviet action in the region.

Trump is on the money — he is catching on quick and is apparently getting good supporting advice as well. Let Jeb defend the indefensible. HEHE. Let the Rats and the GOPe swim in the cesspool of the administration. They will do ANYTHING to maintain the status quo on the Hill in DC.

They are scared to death of Trump because he represents the TRUTH and the realities facing our Republic.

[Jane Long]

LOL...Trump brought up Rev Wright, to Chuck F Todd, this morning.

Love it.

Quote from James Cone, founder of "Black Liberation Theology":

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

“It’s up to Obama to defend himself...”

Absolutely refreshing point of view instead of the goosestepping, speech-squelching, psyche-oppressing, political correctness of the obnoxious left.

IMHO

[Zenjitsuman]

I still want to hear the MSM go after Hillary for sitting on the stage while Suha Arafat had a diatribe of Antisemitism
against Israel

Clinton was never asked why she Hugged Suha. Yet Donald just let someone talk, their free speech right, he didn’t hug him.

[livius]

What is funny about all this is that by saying Obama has to be “defended” against the charge that he’s a Mulsim, the press is acknowledging that being a Muslim is a bad thing!

[dennisw]

Trump should say, “Defending Obama? I thought this was the media’s job”

[Awgie]

C’mon Obama, tell us why and when you decided to reject Islam, under penalty of death, and embrace the religion of your enemies, the white colonialists.

Your personal story of conversion from Islam to Christianity Is one we have not heard. Inquiring minds want to know....

[ETL]

O isn’t 'clever'. His handlers are.

Exactly. He's an 'empty suit' puppet on a string for the movement. They tell him to go on vacation or go play golf when they need more time to think about what he should say or do next.

[Rusty0604]

Is he trying to goad Obama into denouncing muslimhood? I’d like to see that.

In a rational society, it is the obligation and the responsibility of the accuser to present evidence for his position. What Trump should have said, if he said anything, is: what is your evidence for such a remark, without expressing any judgment one way or the other, until it was presented.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Politicians are like hookers, they’ll be whoever you want them to be.

[I want the USA back]

I would have said “Go to hell. I have no obligation to agree or disagree with someone else’s statements.”

[Bon mots]

The more the libs try to hit him, the more they get bloodied.

The MSM wants to set it up so that it is Hillary VS Fiorina - then they will destroy Fiorina.

[ripley]

“I still want to hear the MSM go after Hillary for sitting on the stage while Suha Arafat had a diatribe of Antisemitism against Israel.”

When our sun begins to cool, and only then, might you even attempt to stretch your imagination to think that the MSM may take Hillary to task for her activities.

Until then and only then.

The media didn't really think things through, did they? I'm loving it.

Waiting for the SNL sketch with Jerry Seinfeld as Stephanopoulis "...not that there's anything wrong with that..."

[rainee]

Exactly! If the LSM keeps pushing Trump on this, he should turn it on them by asking if being muzzie a bad thing, why need to defend?
Stephy is a disgusting little troll with Napolean syndrome..

[livius]

Exactly...not that there’s anything wrong with that [being a member of a psychotic homicidal cult]...
