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

Posted on 12/09/2015 8:18:53 AM PST by SeekAndFind

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.

All those fools are unknowingly backing Obama’s refusal to use his existing Constitutional power to shut down muslim aliens entering the country until they can be properly vetted.

Per existing federal law at 8 USC 1182:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to appropriate.

Current laws banning admission to the US, and not requiring new laws. Just need someone like Trump to have them enforced:

gpo~government printing office:

No admission for any alien for Security and related grounds

(3) Security and related grounds
(A) In general
Any alien who a consular officer or the Attorney General knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, seeks to enter the United States to engage solely, principally, or incidentally in—
(i) any activity (I) to violate any law of the United States relating to espionage or sabotage or (II) to violate or evade any law prohibiting the export from the United States of goods, technology, or sensitive information,
(ii) any other unlawful activity, or
(iii) any activity a purpose of which is the opposition to, or the control or overthrow of, the Government of the United States by force, violence, or other unlawful means,

is inadmissible.
(B) Terrorist activities
(i) In general
Any alien who—
(I) has engaged in a terrorist activity;
(II) a consular officer, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Homeland Security knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, is engaged in or is likely to engage after entry in any terrorist activity (as defined in clause (iv));
(III) has, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death or serious bodily harm, incited terrorist activity;
(IV) is a representative (as defined in clause (v)) of—
(aa) a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)); or
(bb) a political, social, or other group that endorses or espouses terrorist activity;

(V) is a member of a terrorist organization described in subclause (I) or (II) of clause (vi);
(VI) is a member of a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the alien can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the alien did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the organization was a terrorist organization;
(VII) endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization;
(VIII) has received military-type training (as defined in section 2339D(c)(1) of title 18) from or on behalf of any organization that, at the time the training was received, was a terrorist organization (as defined in clause (vi)); or
(IX) is the spouse or child of an alien who is inadmissible under this subparagraph, if the activity causing the alien to be found inadmissible occurred within the last 5 years,

is inadmissible. An alien who is an officer, official, representative, or spokesman of the Palestine Liberation Organization is considered, for purposes of this chapter, to be engaged in a terrorist activity.

I wonder if they would splash on their front page an ACTUAL PHOTO of a Muslim beheading?

...

Nah.

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 Obama said I deserved it because of my American Privilege and Global Warming.

Fortunately I was armed and able to protect myself and
my fellow Americans.

While stuff like this is scurrilous, if you look behind it, you can see why they are doing it. Only bat guano fear of a return to Reaganesque patriotism, love of Country, resurrected economy and business prosperity, and revocation of all of Obunga’s phone and pen atrocities could bring out such stark panic in the fourth estate.

Islam is the number one weapon for the left to use to force their agenda on the United States..the number one! Forget about their attitudes towards gays, etc..they don’t worry about it because they want to create the same muslim ghettos in our country where jihad can thrive.

Muslims will always vote democrat as well. Islam is the perfect tool to suppress freedom and advance marxist agenda.perfect tool! This is why they fear Trump so much

The DN doesn’t get the irony. Trump wants to KEEP the headchoppers OUT.
He is not the headchopper!

They’re pitching a fit because Donald Trump exposes them for the lying SOS they are.

Institutional Narcissism.

Go Trump!

This type of publicity will get him elected. Every time there is a beheading or terrorist shooting his poll numbers go up. He’s the only one that is seen as willing to do what has to be done to protect America.

The New York Gaily News is an anti-American fascist POS rag.

It’s kind of funny how the media is getting played like a fiddle by trump. He is absolutely winning the media war, and they are doing all his biddding for him. He owns them! He’s controlling the entire narrative, he is constantly in the limelight, and he keeps exposing them for the shysters they are.

Boo hoo. Like I'm going to hear your whining and crying? Pathetic...

When obama came for the Constitution, you posers rolled over and peed on yourselves while begging for mercy.

Go clean yourselves. Your master's calling.

And as for the Washington Compost rag its Trump who cares and sounds off more about their reporter in an Iran prison than they do.

The Statue of Liberty’s head in that screwy picture looks like a man.

Do you suppose that the Daily News thinks the Statue of Liberty is a transvestite? That would double Donald’s crime in their heads.

The Daily News (and others) are not “news” papers.

They are Left Wing activist daily pamphlets - not unlike years ago when pamphleters were political activists.
