Seizing on Donald Trumps suggestion that Hillary Clintons bodyguards should disarm and lets see what happens to her, CNN went into full Clinton-campaign mode this morning.
Leading the charge was Christi Paul, whom CNN curiously bills as an anchor rather than the Clinton surrogate she appears to be. Said Paul to Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord: lets say Joe Schmoe out in the audience said something like that. That would be seen, most likely, as a threat of some sort, and he would be hauled away. How is it that Donald Trump gets away with it?

You too? I was out on the lake in my rowboat and accidentally hit another two rowboats. We all went out of control and before you know it, 57 boats sank with a loss of 102,438 guns. It was tragic. I forget what lake it happened on cause I hit my head when I got to shore.
Horrible incident.
Their yelps of pain indicate the shot struck home.
Fox and CNN use to have an ounce of integrity. Now they are as big a joke as MSNBC.
Trump was pointing out Hillary’s obvious hypocrisy and elitist double standard coming from those who are protected by armed guards yet who would deny the rest of us the right to arm ourselves.
That is it - the idea being spun that “therefore Trump wants harm to come to Hillary” is a ridiculous straw man.
The leftist “interpretation” that Trump should be “hauled away” merely for pointing out hypocrisy is either leftist stupidity on display or failed spin.
Thanks for making Trump’s point, Christi.
I agree with you; we all know what he meant and it was not a threat. Nonetheless, the press uses remarks like this to twist and dominate the news and they will never explain the context in which they were made; this is a close race, he was on the uptick for two weeks and I guarantee you, the “media’ which is nothing more than the Clinton PR machine, will run wild with it. It serves to obfuscate her problems, shifts the focus to what they will call his “gaffes” and they will talk night and day about it; they weren’t getting traction on the birther (code name for them: racism) issue and this will create a loud diversion from Hillary’s problems. Wouldn’t you rather have the focus be on Trump’s trip to Little Haiti, his huge recent rallies and the trap he set for the press at the Trump Hotel?
I’ve said ‘death to obama’ numerous times.
B/S. We say it all the time. The irony is that these people who live in walled compounds surrounded by armed guards want to disarm us average citizens. They feel a right to be protected but want to leave us defenseless—against the same rabble they allow to illegally cross or borders and or release from our prisons.
Tell ya what:
Let’s treat Hillary as that ‘average citizen’ and lock her far away in a cell somewhere for her frequent, WILLFUL and INTENTIONAL violations of the espionage act, destruction of evidence, obstruction of justice, lying to the American public, Congress and the FBI, et al.
She’ll be nice and cozy, safely protected by guards with all kinds of firearms...
Do you think it was the MSM who caused Hilderbust to sink in the polls? No! It was a Hillery supporter with an IPHONE. And even then the MSM tried to edit the most incriminating portions of it. That video went viral on the Internet. Trump had nothing to do with it and neither did the MSM. So stop wasting your time fretting over these marginal hissy fits from the media.
So according to “christi”, some PIAPS are more equal than others.
How positively Orwellian of her. Maybe we should flush her down the memory hole.
The second amendment is there for a reason. It’s there to guarantee the right for Americans to protect themselves from tyrants like hitlery.
If that wicked b!+@# is pissed off about that, then good, because that means that we have her attention.
I’ve related this incident on other gun threads:
One time, on one of the weekly Freeps at the WH, during Clinton times, we had posters about the 2nd amendment. A woman came by and was all a-huff about guns. I asked her if she felt safe where she was at that moment. She said yes. I then pointed out all those who were armed — the guards at the gate to the WH, the park police, the city police, AND the sniper on the WH roof. The woman just turned and walked away.
Trump is several points higher than the liberal polling outfits show. And the latest media BS meme here is beyond stupid. Relax. Trump highly likely will elucidate the dumb media today and expand on the obvious points that the media fails [lying] to see. Hillary should be back to sleep today. Cough. ZZzzzzzzz....
Time to haul off CNN, it’s no longer sustainable.
Wore my RKBA hat today and got an extra scoop of mulch in the back of my truck.
Go Trump!
exactly. And there are people here calling what we are posting ridiculous and for me to grow some balls. Unbelievable.
Is it that hard for some here to connect the last 2 weeks with his rise in the polls and him not throwing comments that could be misconstued by the press? The previous month was a disaster for trump. Why? Because he was all over the place and the media was crushing him. And more important, Hillary was dead quiet. She was letting trump dig his own grave. The last 2 weeks? Hillary has been front and center and the more Hillary is out in the public, the more they hate her. And trump has been delivering outstanding hard hitting speeches that state on point. And his polls were going up. It’s all common sense.
I will look at this.
Time to call these slimeballs out for this.
I am an ordinary citizen. I demand that Hillary, to show she really believes in her gun control position, have her body guard give up their guns and henceforth accompany her unarmed.
Come and get me, coppers!
