NY Times: Discussing Immigration, Donald Trump and Jeb Bush Use an Offensive Term
NY Times ^ | August 20, 2015 | Alan Rappeport

Posted on 08/20/2015 6:38:56 AM PDT by Zakeet

Donald J. Trump continues to overheat the Republican Party’s speech on immigration.

What is his latest protest against political correctness? “Anchor babies.”

[Snip]

The phrase is as offensive as the word “illegals” for many immigrants who come to America.

You Freepers should stop using the terms anchor babies and illegals when referring to Undocumented Democrats because it offends both them and their libtard friends.

I’ll retire the term as soon as they retire the practice. And FUMSM for making a big deal about the term instead of the practice you treacherous scum.

Dear NYT, shove your “offensive term” up your smelly Obamahole.
How’s that for offensive, idiots?

Endeavor to work past these slights of PC that turn your stomach, Alan Rappeport. Seek counseling if need be. Before you write another article.

Interestingly enough, everyone with the mental capacity that should be a threshold for a voting privilege knows exactly what the term “anchor baby” means.

Market rate for anchor babies for Koreans is approx $50k.

Good God...illegal alien invaders whimpering over truthful words like “illegal” and “anchor baby.” They should get together and sue us for their horrible abuse and suffering. Oh, wait...

FU NYT and your illegal and anchor baby friends.

When the Commie Left doesn’t want to discuss something that sheds light on their evil, they dub it “offensive”. That should be interpreted as, “We do not want to discuss this matter honestly as adults.”

We are not playing your stupid word games anymore.

To call something “offensive” is an old trick of the Left to silence the opposition and cut off debate.

Our thoughts are controlled when our language is controlled. We can't discuss things in an honest way.

One thing Trump is teaching the nation to do, again, is exercise freedom of speech. It's sometimes offensive to paranoid people, so what?

The NYT retards need to take their meds----Trump has changed all those stupid PC/lib rules

Trump flew into Iowa on his gilded helicopter dressed like a successful businessman....reeking of glamour, money, success and power.

No hay bales and jeans for Donald. He took one bite out of the idiotic pork-chop-on-a-stick and put it down. A guy like Trump doesn't need the usual Iowa props to get votes.

“Offensive” is using the term “anti-abortion” to describe those who have called themselves pro-life for 40 years.

Trump would be well-advised to do campaign events w/ tough-talking
Wisconsin Sheriff Dave Clarke by his side. Clarke is considered a rock
star in conservative circles. Clark could be dynamic VP material.

Milwaukee’s tough-talking black sheriff, David Clarke, argued this week that white Americans have “made great strides” in healing race relations, and that sooner or later they’re going to grow tired of having their noses “rubbed in the past sins of sins of slavery." (Fox News via The Daily Surge)...

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke didn’t pull any punches in his assessment of the Rev. Al Sharpton — who vowed to keep fighting for justice for slain Ferguson teen Michael Brown, despite the feds’ decision to drop a civil rights investigation — and characterized him on national television as less than intelligent and unworthy of respect.

“The grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, got it right,” Sheriff Clarke said, during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.” “Officer [Darren] Wilson has been exonerated. The thing I want to know is how does he get his reputation back?”

Sheriff Clarke then directed anger at Mr. Sharpton, who spoke sharply in the wake of Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision not to prosecute Mr. Wilson, a former police officer, on civil rights charges.

CLARKE “I don’t expect anything intelligent to come out of the mouth of Al Sharpton,” Sheriff Clarke said, Mediaite reported. “We know he is a charlatan. Al Sharpton ought to go back into the gutter he came from. The police officer is owed a lot from him, Eric Holder and the president of the United States.”
