BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith told staff in a memo on Tuesday that it's permissible for them to call Donald Trump a racist as a fact on social media.

Smith wrote the memo in response to queries from staff about what was OK for them to post on social media networks such as Twitter or Facebook about Trump.

Who do these people think they are fooling?

The herbivores formerly known as the Mercun Peepul.

And they're successful every time they do it.

Leave it to satanic liberals to change the language and meaning of words to insure that their over-emotional followers get riled up.

What does it say about Buzzfeed staff that they need permission to write what the think and believe. What are they? 5 years old?

I wonder what race they will base that on - seems to be plenty of different races deciding they want a license to murder - perhaps they will decide he's racist against Blacks---seems to be fair number of them "converting"...

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

He had to tell them this? Buzz feed calls all conservatives racists, so what’s new?
