OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore
THE DAILY BEAST ^ | 08.27.15 | Barrett Holmes Pitner

Posted on 08/27/2015 7:26:09 AM PDT by McGruff

As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in the crowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.

What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

Two ex convicts beat up a guy and it’s because of Trump? lol

And what has he said that is divisive among Americans? Nothing that I have heard.

He does say he wants to get rid of illegal aliens. But they’re not Americans so it’s not divisive speech.

No mention of our divisive president who sent a 29 million dollar check to the black relatives of the victims of that horrible SC shooting, but sent nothing to the families of those who were shot at the army base.

Will he send money to the people who just got killed. Did he send money to the victims of Fort Hood?

Oh, but it is. In fact, it’s hysterical. Trump forcing the liberal media to talk about him non-stop. Has me cracking up.

Scream of White Power?

Maybe, the voices inside this authors demented mind were screaming that.

Smells like bullshit!

If it had actually happened, there'd be video.

Which tells the rest of us– when this does happen at a rally for someone on our side– you must get video of the faces of the screamers. They'll then be outed as Occupy morons, no doubt.

BS! That's the exact same lie they tried to pin on Sarah Palin, claiming her supporters were yelling out "White Power" at her rallies.

Maybe it’s made up, but so what if some jerk in the crowd did this? Things happen. It’s bogus to try to make an issue out of it.

Yeah, there’s racism here. La Raza: the Klan with the Tan.
Most of us find Trump’s rhetoric unifying rather than devisive.
Finally someone’s talking about las problemas.

Exactly. Not laughing at Trump just leaves us with that much more time to chuckle at Hillary’s predicaments and to laugh at Jeb’s silly girlish pronouncements.

Oh, and at the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the Marxist media as well.

...because conservatives are too stupid to notice that they and anything rational are under attack were it not for the slogan. Moron.

... but an America that rounds up and forcefully removes a race or class of people is most certainly a dystopian nation that encourages lawlessness and anarchy.

Where does it say anything about race or class in the desire to maintain our borders? Illegal immigration is just that: Illegal. And please explain the flow of causality between enforcement of laws that are currently in place for this Republic how the enforcement of those laws "enourages lawlessness and anarchy". Good Lord, man...do you read your own drivel?

This article is written, not to convey information, but an attempt at guilt by inference in an attempt to convey his own biases. Attempting to draw exact parallels between today and the 1700's is simply stupid as is most of the BS in this article.

“his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning....”

If liberal policies weren’t so fiery and divisive there would be no Trump candidacy. Blame yourselves, GOPe / Dems.

You think it would be better with Jeb, Hillary, or Bernie as President?

Do you disagree with what Trump said in the quote you posted?
