Al Hunt Calls Trump a Modern-Day 'George Wallace'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/13/2015 5:00:11 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Liberal media types like Al Hunt haven't called Donald Trump a Hitler. Yet. But Judy Woodruff's husband has branded Trump a modern-day version of an iconic personification of racism.

On today's Morning Joe, Hunt declared that Trump is "George Curley Wallace, 40 years later."

And I used to believe conservatives to be smarter than democrats but it looks to me that the right words can create a whole new crop of zombies.

Right on the money! It's actually what worries me long term about this country more than the lo info liberal masses....though they worry me too. And they all, ironically, hold to one very liberal precept - they have that in common...and they are emoting and not thinking.....

If Al and Judy had an average or higher intelligence, their opposition to Trump would be a reason to support him.

Trump stated over the weekend he has no plans to run a third party campaign...I also don’t think there’s time to organize a third party.

I’m just not impressed with someone who shouts down a reporter to avoid answering a question.

I choose Cruz precisely because he walks into the lions den and leaves the lions looking like morons based on facts rather than BS.

I agree with that.....and for that very reason I am confident Cruz will win out in the long run.

Trump is not a conservative. OTOH, he is not a statist-liberal.

Trump is a business man and capitalist.

I don’t particularly like him, but here are a couple of big selling points for Trump:

1. He has never served in political office and did not amass his fortune by trading political favors with other politicians.

2. He is independently wealthy and owes no party or donors anything. He is not doing this to get rich.

3. That allows him to pretty much tell it like it is (as he sees it) without pulling any punches or trying to appease groups.

That has a certain appeal. He is pretty liberal on social issues. I don’t know that I can vote for him. But, on economic and domestic issues, he is a force no matter what idiots like Al Hunt conjure up.

The media despise him because he owes them nothing at all and does not how-tow to them.

The essence of Al Hunt is being a loyal Democrap practicing the politics of FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED!

If only all liberals were as liberal as Donald Trump. If only liberals stood for the victims of a lawless administration, if liberals stood for pride in America, it’s restoration, and making it better than it ever was, if liberals gave a voice to the silenced, if liberals put fear in the hearts of the enemies of this counyry, if liberals were the embodiment of the American Dream and employed thousands of Americans through their own success, then who the hell would associate with the party of purity police, circular firing squads, and snatchers of defeat from the jaws of victory. No one.

So of course, Trump must be stopped.

Maybe he's bs-in'. Maybe he even had someone else write that.

But from what I've observed in the reporting on his book, it's some danged conservative stuff.

We'll see. More will be revealed.

I don't give a damn what Trump has been or said or done in the past or 'what his game is'.
His changes of ever becoming president are miniscule, but at least he's out there NOW telling stupid, PC crippled Americans the truth; what Obama has done to America and that illegal aliens flooding across our open border are murdering and raping and bankrupting us.
NO Rino and Republican has the balls to get out there and tell the truth like Trump.

George Wallace was giving liberals fits when he ran for president in 1972, just as Donald Trump is doing today. He won the Florida Democratic primary that year with 70+ percent of the vote, virtually ending the political career of New York City mayor John Lindsay, a darling of the liberal media, who had staked his White House dreams on that vote. Wallace also was getting a lot of support outside the South, and it looked increasingly like he just might win it all before Arthur Bremer ended his campaign by shooting him.

That’s pretty stupid unless he’s saying that Trump will do a 180. I guarantee you Wallace got more black votes than Trump will ever get Latino votes. Wallace started out a segregationist but ended up a friend to blacks.
