Clinton slams Trump for not challenging questioner who called Obama a Muslim
Washington Post ^ | 09/18/2015 | John Wagner

DURHAM, N.H. -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham on Friday denounced Republican front-runner Donald Trump for not challenging an audience member in a rally Thursday night who said that President Obama is Muslim and "not even an American."

“I was appalled,” Clinton told reporters following an appearance at the University Of New Hampshire. "He should have from the beginning repudiated that kind of rhetoric, that level of hatefulness in a questioner in an audience that he was appearing before."

Clinton said had she been in Trump’s place, she would have “called out” the questioner. “That has no place in political discussion,” she said, adding that the assertions were “totally factually untrue.”

Why would he be a shill or some plant from the GOP-e?

I find the timing suspect song with the coordinated media attack on this very "issue". Add in Hillary's comment on it and it just reeks of a setup job.

0bama has called 0bama a Muslim.

Anyone remember when StepOnallofus had to correct him, “You mean your CHRISTIAN faith?”.

Problem is that 0’s statement doesn’t make sense unless he HAD MEANT TO SAY “Muslim”.

“I am thankful that my opponent John McLame has not made an issue of my CHRISTIAN faith.” WTF?

Its not like he was an such an outspoken bible-thumper that it could have been used against him.

However if the work “Muslim” is used, it makes perfect sense that he would have given McLame a hat tip for not making an issue of it....

If it is a set-up, then perfect.

Trump made great gains with it. Perhaps the Donald was the one who planted that question.

When she’s in jail wearing her bright orange pant suit, she might want to hope President Trump will have forgotten this item as she writes a letter begging for clemency.

The guy asking Trump the muslim question introduces himself as .... from White Plains. His first name is unclear.

Here are the two videos so you can listen to them side by side.

Imus versus Trump in New Hampshire last night

Might be the same guy. Has a kind of working class persona or wherever.;-)

For some reason, this topic is more of a trigger even than Obama’s citizenship.

Hillary told me to watch out for Youtube videos.

I told her it was muslims trying to kill me.

A plant? By who?

The dems? The GOP-e?

Or Trump himself?

Point was this was a plant with a motive.

it is not the responsibility of the person being asked a question to challenge the opinions of the questioner.....

I ask the question..."I think that Obama is the worst president in the history of the country" "do you think that he will veto the upcoming senate decision"???

We don't need a discertation on whether or not my opinion of his qualifications is accurate...I need an answer to my question.....will he or won't he veto the decision...
