NEW YORK (CNNMoney) Donald Trump might be a presidential candidate mired in an ongoing national controversy, but he still makes time to offer feedback to newspaper columnists.
This time, the scribe who drew Trump's ire was the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, who called out the billionaire's "baldly racist xenophobia" in a column earlier this week.
In response, Trump sent Capehart, who is African American, a handwritten note: "Jonathan - You are the racist, not I," Trump wrote. "Get rid of your 'hate.'"

Gotta love it and it is a teachable moment for Republicans

X ACT LEEE
Can anyone imagine ANY other Republican Candidate doing this? This isn’t just making a water off your back Public remark, but going to the source of the accusation and setting them back on their Heels.
I’m not sure what Trump’s end game might be, but he is the only guy paying for his supposed “sin” of telling the Truth with his Wallet and his Personal Reputation.
come on Donald go get the lying wench
Correction: Herself! is no longer a wench
but a withered bitter old CRONE who is past
her due date.
I agree. But Trump is better equipped to fight back like he is. He’s got $$$$$$. He’s had a television show. He’s a household name. He is just in a position to make his “fight back” stick or work. Ultimately, people know he has the money to destroy them. Most candidates could say what Trump has said when fighting back and the press would kill them and the people would listen to the press. People have their own opinion of Trump and the press or the establishment politicians are having a difficult time changing that.
The capon speaks!
Kerry Lied
Millions Died
How many do you suppose will die when his lies enable Iran to get nuclear weapons?
He’s going to win over a lot of protest votes from people who have had it up to here with the corrupt establishment and the tyrannical PC crowd.
Give them hell Trump!
You forgot to mention the bowtie.
This might help you...
Their Only Weapon
A correspondent on Lawrence Auster’s site,
commenting on republican Arkansas Governor Huckabee’s feeling that racism is fueling the anti-immigration sentiment, wrote:
“All he has to do is stand up there, give one inane comment after another and use the word that puts trembling in the hearts of the American people and shut them down. Racist.”
A cartoon I saw recently showed a Mexican-flag-waving illegal snarling at a white man, saying something like “Let me into your prosperous country, you damned racist xenophobe.” It captured perfectly the dynamic involved in the immigration debate: people who have no leverage other than guilt are using it to control us.

What are they going to do the day that white people stop running from that word, “racist”?
I have begun, among my white friends, to acknowledge that I am a racist. I say, “If by racist, you mean that I think there are actual differences, genetic differences, between racial groups that have real consequences, then yes I am a racist. If you mean that I feel more of an affinity for people of my ethnic group, that I feel more comfortable and at home with them, then yes I am a racist. If you mean I put the interests of my people, my ethnic group, ahead of the interests of others just as I put my family’s interests over others, then yes I am a racist. But if by “racist” you mean someone who believes in genocide or slavery or hatred or oppression of other ethnic groups, then no, I am not a racist.”
I sense that many white people have had enough of being bullied with the “racist” label. But there are two ways of handling that accusation. One is to claim that you’re not actually a racist. This is the approach most whites take right now, but it hands all of the power over to the non-white person, who can then act as judge and jury on the evidence to decide whether the white person is a racist or not. The other approach is to say, “yeah, I’m a racist; so what?” There is no answer to that. If you prefer your own people and put their interests ahead of others’ without engaging in hatred or violence, what’s it to them?
Perhaps the non-whites and liberals are flinging the “racist” accusation with such vehemence because they sense that the white majority is losing patience. Their one tool, their one way of controlling white people, is losing its efficacy, so they ramp up the volume and the bitterness to try to keep the upper hand. Their worst nightmare is that white people stop flinching at the word because that will be the day that anti-whites (both non-whites and whites who scorn whiteness) lose their only weapon.
But while we need to assert that we, like every other healthy people on earth, are indeed “racists”, what we want to avoid this time is letting the pendulum swing back the other way into hatred. We don’t want another Hitler. We don’t want burning crosses. We don’t want oppression and injustice. We just want to assert our right to survive as a distinct people and to separate ourselves physically and politically from those who threaten our safety, prosperity, and unique identity.
Says the pullet.
Finally! Someone who tells it like it is on the topic of racism!
If nothing else, Trump has opened the door to the musty room of racism that has been closed for 40 years (or so it seems) where the hatred of whites is at least 1000 times worse than the opposite.
“I haven’t figured out what Trump really is up to.”
Maybe he means what he says?
Not possible.
Urkel grew up!
Can you elaborate?
Likely. He calls them the ROP here in MSNBC piece on Ft. Hood shootings...

Can’t.
There is nothing happy about him.... except taunting Christians and celebrating the rainbow lights on the White House.
I can’t wait for the debates. Only a month to go.
