New York Daily News cover shows Donald Trump cutting off the Statue of Liberty's head
Business Insider ^ | 12/09/2015 | Colin Campbell

The Daily News is set to continue its recent streak of provocative front pages on Wednesday. According to a tweet from the New York tabloid, the newspaper will depict Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump cutting off the head of the Statue of Liberty.

"When Trump came for the Mexicans, I did not speak out — as I was not a Mexican. When he came for the Muslims I did not speak out — as I was not a Muslim. Then he came for me," the headline blared.

In smaller text, the Daily News said the headline was based on Martin Niemoller's poem "First They Came," which dealt with Nazi Germany's oppression of socialists, trade unionists, and, finally, Jews.

Trump has faced intense backlash since Monday, when he proposed a temporary halt to all Muslim travel to the US, including immigrants and tourists. The real-estate mogul says a hard-line approach is necessary to keep the US safe from terrorist groups like ISIS.

The Daily News ignited some of its own firestorms in recent days with its front-page crusading on behalf of gun control. One of its covers shamed Republican politicians for only offering "prayers" after last week's mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

A separate publication, the Philadelphia Daily News, also compared Trump's proposal to Nazi Germany on Tuesday.

They*re only making him more popular. They may even know it. But they just can*t resist.

When Islam came to threaten friends and neighbors....I did not speak out. When Islam came to threaten relatives and co-workers....I did not speak out. When Islam came to threaten innocent lives and children....I did not speak out. Then they came for me, and there was no one to help me.

The rat infested liberal press has gone ape-bleep over Trump.

Just when you think they couldn’t embarrass themselves and sink and lower into the cesspool of stupidity - they do.

An interesting trend, also seen in last Saturday’s NY Times front page gun-grabbing editorial: Putting the dog excrement on the front page ahead of time for those who don’t have puppies to train.

What all the liberals and GOP-E types are missing, is that foreigners do not have American constitutional rights to enter America.

We can set our immigration laws and regulations, and we can ban certain classes of people from entering this country. We have before in our history, and can do so again.

The fact that we don’t really enforce immmigration laws very much is a separate issue.

The point is, foreign Muslims do not have any constitutional rights to enter our country, either to immigrate or as a tourist or student.

The liberal meltdown on this issue is based on the faulty premise that foreigners do have American constitutional rights, and the related idea that it’s somehow discrimination if we ban certain people from immigrating or being tourists here.

My paper has "Trumps America" with the Statue of Liberty giving the Nazi salute.

Can Godwin's Law be applied to newspapers?

They take issue with fake Trump beheadings, not actual slam headchops

Too bad they didn't get the quote right:

When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out."

Trump's popular because he reflects the fact that all Americans are PO'ed at politicians, Republican and Democrat, who refuse to defend the Constitution, our boarders, and our Rights.

Typical Marxist name calling rather than arguing the issue. Everyone just shut up and accept the massacres.

Merry Christmas

That is utterly despicable beyond compare. Pox on that lying rag-— may they suffer deserved revenue losses in a yuuuuge way. Hang in there Donald— we got your back General Trump.

Trump has the most impressive enemies list I think I’ve ever seen. The known liberals, media, rinos, he’s even drawing out the fakes at fox news. How could you not support him? He has all the right enemies plus 2!

Methinks the socialists think they smell blood in the water and are pressing full-court to take Trump down. Fat chance! And... waiting in the batter’s box is Mr. Cruz, who will eat them for lunch..

Let me rephrase that for those morons..

First Trump came for one set of criminals, then he came for another set of criminals, and then I didn’t have to worry about him “coming for me” because I was not a criminal, but I did feel much safer with the other criminals gone.
