"We have a problem in this country — it's called Muslims. We know our current president is one. We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That's my question. When can we get rid of them?"
We've all heard the question by now and we all know how Trump is being lambasted for not defending Obama.
But if this comment is so bad and so awful then why hasn't the media found this guy and reported on him? Where's his connection to the TEA Party? Isn't that the usual thing these days is they try to connect people like this to the TEA Party or the NRA or some such? Yet none of that has happened. Why?
Who is this guy? I think he's a plant. He asked this question with the intent to associate Trump with the question and to create a media spectacle to distract Trump's campaign.
We need to find out about this man and expose him since the media isn't doing their usual job.
I suspect we'll find something interesting since the media has been noticeably silent on this guy.
Bump.
Probably a plant.
Is there a photo of the guy ?
Stop asking so many questions.
Who cares. Why are people defending muslims and this president? That's the real question.
Yeah, there’s video of him.
If the guy was a plant, I'd bet he was a Trump plant. This plays very much into Trump's campaign and all to Trump's benefit. Carson obviously picked up on it. No candidate will be hurt for running against Islam which is all any LIV will take away from the whole brouhaha - Trump vs. Islam. At the same time it paints the left with the "pro-terrorist" brush. If Trump did plant the guy it was a pretty brilliant move.
Whoever he is he has done a service. Because of the reaction of the Republican, the Democrats and the press, the subject is in the open now and the controversy has brought far more people consider what is in the White House and it is not favorable to Hussein. I hear people who would have passed it off a month ago as silly saying that the hysteria makes it look like Hussein maybe really is Moslem.
Until we know the background of this guy, what he stated/asked should be disregarded.
Our opposition would have figured this out and found something, a Facebook post, former classmate, neighbor etc. to marginalize the questioner as an unstable person.
We have been denied the opportunity.
I also would find it interesting to know if the guy was legitimate. If he is, ok. But it is important to expose opposition dirty tricks and actors at every opportunity.
[Probably a plant.]
Maybe a bush.
You have a good point there, we knew Joe the Plumber smoked Marlboros and Pays child support within 2 hours.
Who cares. Why are people defending muslims and this president? That’s the real question
True, if he was being honest and articulating his true beliefs. If he was a plant by the DNC , very highly likely, that needs to be exposed.
Fox and Friends brought up Joe the Plumber. When he asked Obama that question we knew within 24 hours absolutely everything about him. And that wasn’t nearly as public as this was.
"Trump's handling of the first question in the New Hampshire Town Hall, the other night, was very statesmanlike. His disdain for the 'politically correct' bullies, will win him a great many votes.
"Here is a response to the attack by Chris Matthews & Bill Maher (two of the most ridiculous intellectual pretenders in the media):
"To be very clear. Donald Trump handled the questions that have Chris & Bill so excited, precisely in the correct manner It was a splendid moment for Trump, if one fully understands the context.
"But before going into that, let me make it very clear. I am not anti-Muslim. I do not favor large scale immigration from the Near East, for the same reason that I do not favor large scale immigration from most places. We do not need new settlers; we do not need cultural diversity. But that is not directed against Islam. Yet none of that has really anything material to do with the subject of what happened at the Town Meeting.
"Trump's approach was not bigoted; not in the slightest. The article shows who was bigoted, and it is those 'politically correct' crack-pots, who believe other people have a duty to stifle any thought with which those 'politically correct' crackpots do not agree. (The defined category includes Hillary Clinton, and quite a few confused babblers, of which Matthews & Maher are perhaps among the grossest examples.)
"Stifling free expression is not the duty of a candidate; it is not the moral duty of anyone. It is, to be sure, the essence of the 'politically correct' crackpot! And Donald has already, clearly distanced himself from the 'politically correct' crackpots. In that, he is truly a breath of fresh air.
"Now Islam is not the issue, in dealing with this thread. Obama's upbringing, and ideological orientation, and the bases for all of that, are continuing issues, whether Matthews & Maher want to gobble something otherwise or not. And many Americans are not convinced that Obama was actually born here. Just who are Matthews & Maher to say that no one should be permitted to inquire into such subjects?"
Its been said it was “Bill from White Plains” who is often a call in on the IMUS. Program
He is obviously a fake. I heard the clip, and could immediately tell. He sounded like he was putting on a performance. It turns out it was likely a frequent caller “character” to the don imus program. If it was the guh in question, we need to get a copy of today’s program to see if he called back to gloat. Or to hear what imus himself said.
