When asked about presidential candidate Donald Trump's remarks on illegal immigrants from Mexico, South Carolina governor Nikki Haley told Meet the Press's Chuck Todd she understands Trump's "frustration" but that he needs to watch his "tone."

Haley went on to say "we" all need to be respectful of each other and nix the "harsh" language. Offensive talk "hurts people," and it's "just not necessary."

Yet another attempt by the ruling elites to disembowel Trump by proxy. You see, this way the MSM can’t be criticized. Oh, no. They merely hunted down a Republican willing to do their dirty work for them.

You know the real reason why the media elites fear Trump? He doesn’t cower when they criticize him. The ruling elites are use to controlling people thru criticism. Drop a charge of racism or being insensitive on someone and the elites think that person should curl up in a ball. What if a person doesn’t respond as they expect. What then? What power do they have over that person? The answer is they have no power at all; and scares the crap out of them.

This is the new drumbeat over the last few days: “watch your tone”. Do these folks not understand that a harsh tone is sometimes necessary in order to frame the discussion? I believe in discussion over argument, but sometimes the argument has to come first.

Yep, it proves they are losing the argument, and more importantly, they know it!

“Offensive talk “hurts people,” and it’s “just not necessary.”

How’re these, little Ms.?

“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.”

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

“Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.”

“Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.”

“The Framers of the Constitution knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.”

Trump made his illegal immigrant statement easy to be interupreted as offensive so his campaign launch would grab attention. Good strategy. So far it’s paid off big.

Nikki Haley ought to go hang herself from a flagpole somewhere.

This self-appointment as sensitivity monitor of the nation is getting under my skin.

What is a a rapist?....

Someone that will not take NO for an answer..

Someone that does not think your have the right to say NO...

Someone with no respect for you as a sovereign person...

Does a sovereign country have to right to say NO to who enters?...

And if someone doesn't respect that right of others saying NO ...what are they?

Excellent points.

Might I add: someone who enters another person or country without their permission or consent...ergo illegally?

Some fraction of illegal aliens are rapists.

So . . . We're talking about a class of people—illegals—who have no right at all to be here. If we'd kept out the illegal aliens, that fraction would not have been able to rape those women, girls, and children. Particularly if you're one of the victims or their families, I'd bet that sounds like a good thing.

Are you saying it's somehow a bad thing?
