Univision's Attack on Donald Trump Backfires
NewsBusters ^ | 6-27-2015 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 06/27/2015 1:56:41 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

Oh please, Br'er Fox, don't throw me into the briar-patch.”

So goes the line from the old American and long ago Disney-ized folk tale Song of the South by Joel Chandler Harris. The rabbit pleads with the fox not to throw him into the briar patch. The fox does just what he is asked not to do - and thus tossed into the thicket where rabbits thrive, the rabbit escapes. Laughing all the way.

The scene comes to mind with the news that Univision has abruptly told Donald Trump that they will no longer carry the Trump-owned Miss Universe pageant. Why? It seems that the network is displeased that in his announcement speech The Donald said:

When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Trump can play the populist but Cruz must win the arguments.

My beef is with Starbucks, not the court (although them too on a different issue). I’m sick of these people using their business to make political statements. They need to serve the damn coffee while at work then go home and join the political fray as themselves, not hiding behind a company name.

“Actually, it’s better.”

I agree. I especially like McDonald’s McAfee ice coffee on a hot summer’s day.

I’ll put it another way, no way Cruz or anyone else will take Trump as #2.

“The coffee at McDonalds for a dollar is just fine.”

Actually, the coffee at McDonald’s tastes great. I really like it.

Yep.. Vietnam was an easy win if we bombed the dikes. Nobody wanted to win that one.

“Donald would gladly “LOSE” (any political battle) if he made a few billion in givernment largesse..

He’s a fascist..”

You don’t know what you are talking about, obviously haven’t a clue what a fascist is, and your head is up your hosepipe.

I’m only saying what it won’t be for now. Won’t be Trump or Carson. Those guys need to aim lower on their first run.

Yup.

America could have won that war in a couple weeks if America’s “leaders” wanted to do so. In fact, in strictly military terms, the war was an ass kicking. The Tet Offensive was a debacle for the Viet Cong.

But the left won on the political front (think Cronkite), so we retreated. Ugh.

I like it that he put the cherry on top by telling the Univision Suits where they should shove their golf clubs, too.

Hosepipe, I can't remember when I've read a more silly, ridiculous, pinhead comment on FR than yours upthread....and I've been on this board for 17 years and have read plenty of them!

Are they going to keep sending white women from Latin America as the contestants?

When business and givernment merge it is called Fascism..
in degrees..
China is fascist NOT communist.. as is Russia..
AND most of the socialist world...

Communism and Fascism are BOTH Socialism..

Who’s BOSS.. Business or Socialism?... it varys day to day.. week to week.. month to month..
but they have the same exact agenda.. SLAVERY..

Well, if you know what it won’t be you must have some idea on what it might be. Correct?

It’s OK to share. I’m not an attack dog.

I just don’t see how a JR. Senator can oppose the old timers, who have all the power, if they don’t want him to.
