Unreal! Donald Trump Jr. Comes Under Fire for Comparing Muslim Refugees to Skittles
Gateway Pundit ^ | September 20, 2016 | Jim Hoft

...Afghan immigrant Ahmad Khan Rahami is wanted by authorities in connection to bomb attack in Chelsea. Dahir Adan from Somalia went on a stabbing rampage on Saturday at a St. Cloud mall.

On Monday Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out an informative graphic comparing Muslim refugees to Skittles. The liberal media is outraged. (Tweet) "If I had a bowl of Skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful?"

I prefer “turds and tootsie rolls”. More alliterative :)

“That report stated that, each year, the risk to an American of being killed by a refugee in a terror attack is 1 in 3.64 billion”

Paragraphs of excruciatingly exact mathematics follow, but they are based on worthless and now 40-year-old statistics.

As can easily be calculated without the precocious invocation of a swimming pool full of Skittles, for at least Miami in 2016 and San Bernardino in 2015, he’s off by a factor of somewhere between 100 and 500. And let’s not forget Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon (many injuries).

The question of whether it’s a “refugee” or a so-called “homegrown” jihadi killing Americans by the dozen in any particular attack is a red herring.

Maybe he should compare muslim refugees to muslim terrorists or muslim rapists?

“To continue the analogy in an increasingly awkward way, the United States already screens refugees that arrive in the United States through a multilevel process”

That’s an astonishingly brazen willful ignorance of reality, particularly events and discussion of the past year. He really still thinks people only get their news from the MSM.

The leftists need to stop dancing around the issue! It is repugnant that some are beginning to tell western civilization to “get used to it!” [islamic terrorism]

The left better get their heads out of their global elite “ash” before the people take matters into their own hands. Americans will not accept this.

Would the skittles people been so fussed up if they great analogy used M&Ms? I bet not.

Also, someone forgot to teach a LOT of people what an analogy is. Or that LOT pretended that LIKE = EQUAL.

More to the point, I already have pounds and pounds of M&Ms and I don’t NEED any Skittles but you are going to FORCE me to take Skittles. Knowing the are contaminated.

The MSM has to act offended because their answer would be, “Hell no I wouldn’t touch them, but I would still insist that they be made available to those who want them....a little bit of poison helps clean out the system.”

It was obviously a racial insult directed at poor Trayvon.

I love his analogy too.

I'd take it a step further. The liberals are starving for demographics because they have birth controlled/aborted their futures. They'll take their chances with poison skittles.

Why are we taking poisonous refugees

Better question is why are we taking refugees at all?

I'm going to use that analogy to get ALL of my kids candy this year for Halloween. After all I'm only protecting my kids.

How about the tainted Tylenol one.

That one created the un-openable blister pack.

How about this. Hillary Clinton has 100 electric cars in a parking lot. She gives a democrat all of the keys. But she warns them that three of the cars will explode when the key is inserted. If person can drive half of them away, they can keep those.

In other words, if we take a smaller number of muslim immigrants, would that be safe?

LOL. Johnson and Johnson's reaction to the tainted Tylenol incident is a casebook example of how a company should handle a crisis.

The manufactured outrage over the skittles analogy is hilarious. And the statistical analysis, one in 3.9 billion chance thing, is absurd. No thinking person buys either line, but there are the comedians, delivering the lines with straight faces. My hat is off to them, I would not be able to deliver those lines without laughing.

One of my acquaintances on Facebook today is gone so hyperbolic on this he’s actually comparing Trump Jr now to Julius Streicher

It is not like he suggested they should wash them down with draank.

I wonder how long that terribly offensive (/s) graphic has been around...

Perhaps the better way to present this would be visually with a bowl of candy, and then a jar of similar candies with the typical skull and bones on them. Take the bowl, sprinkle in a few from the jar, mix them up a bit, and offer them to the mediot in question.’

(Never mind, they’d probably want to have you arrested at that point)
