Univision's Attack on Donald Trump Backfires
http://newsbusters.org ^ | 6/29/2015 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 06/29/2015 9:33:43 AM PDT by dragnet2

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.

And while all this was going on? Univision anchorman Jorge Ramos sent a handwritten note to Trump asking - yes - for an interview. Or in other words? We’re going to break your contract and call you a racist but would you like to sit down for a chat?

So. As a result of Univision’s decidedly unthought-through stab at partisan politics they received in return

1) a lawsuit for breach of contract over the cancellation of the Miss Universe Pageant;

2) a lawsuit for defamation (the poster comparing Trump to the racist killer in Charleston;

3) its executives have been booted from the Trump golf course; 4) a once convivial agreement on building a gate between neighboring properties has been ordered closed;

5) there is now a demand for the resignation of the executive who posted the defaming poster;

6) the private letter revealing anchorman Ramos to be beseeching Trump for an interview has been publicly released; and…and 6;) Trump has received a boatload of priceless publicity that appears as his numbers surge in the polls.

Wake the eff up Norm. The reality is that the only two people who have a chance at winning a general election agains’t Shrillary are Trump and Cruz. Any of the others and you need to start practicing saying President Clinton.

No, I’ll stay in the fantasy where conservatism is what FR was founded on and for. And that conservatism, not lesser evil is what America needs more of...and that you get it by voting for conservatives. Call me crazy.

I am on record numerous times stating that only Cruz and Trump have a chance to win the general election. Anybody else just fall on your knife.

Hillary donators don’t save America. They helped destroy it.

Oh? Did the Donald’s money to liberals not go to causes we oppose?

Did His pal Hillary make a special point to not use his cash for her leftist cause?

So how it truth crap? Be specific.

It’s important IMHO during this time to get behind others like Chick-Fil-A or Ben Jones (the Confederate flag issue) as part of standing up to this paternalistic, authoritarian soft-headedness from political and corporate and media elites.

The reality is, Conservatives who value Traditional Marriage and Family Values need to stand up like we did for Chik-Fil-A against this tyrannical government and the gaystapo.

Not just one day. Not just two days. EVERY DAY until this bullsh*t with the Supreme Court which over-stepped its bounds gets remedied by Congress impeaching and removing each and every member of the Supreme Court that forced gay marriage on this country.

Period.

Yeah, that'll never happen......

What we've had for decades now can be better compared to our worst enemies.

Amen to that. No comparison needed. Just are.

Yes I do, but you can bet more attempts are being concocted and planned as we speak. It’s clear they want this guy silenced because he’s making a whole lot of people look really bad. The truth is not what they want to hear. Millions making fortunes off bad government policies, waste and corruption have no desire for change. But it’s choking us.

Already there have been several attempts by political organizations, major networks, celebrities etc, who have maliciously attempted to slander Trump. All have backfired on them.

After he dropped kicked Hillary Clinton, calling her allegations pathetic, the Clinton camp went silent after his video response.

This is not the typical political campaign with the same tired worn out empty speeches. This guy is changing the political landscape. My hunch is millions who’ve all but given up hope for our government/leadership, are now sitting up watching intently with renewed interest.

What Trump is saying desperately needs to be said IMO.

Norm, your judgments are are personalized and mean.

This is a forum for conservative discussions, you keep turning them into your personal forum to deride others. That’s a liberal quality, like Keith Olbermann,

You’re not helping anyone but yourself.
