Donald Trump under fire for mocking disabled reporter
BBC ^ | 4 hours ago, 2015-11-26 | BBC

Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has been criticised for mocking a disabled New York Times reporter.

Mr Trump performed an impression of Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, at a rally.

He has used a 2001 article by Mr Kovaleski to back up widely disputed claims that "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.

The New York Times called Mr Trump's actions "outrageous".

Were you aware of this reporter and his infirmities?

Maybe all reporters should declare their health status to the candidates so no one makes a mistake.

I remember when reporter Joe Klein got in trouble with Krauthammer for suggesting his disability limited his world view.

For simplicity and clarity, that answer is the gold standard for both Trump and Cruz haters.

I really don't care what Trump says, time and time again the left says things even more outrageous and they never get called on it, so it's about time we had someone on our side saying such things.

Trump has a semi-automatic Banana Cream Pie Launcher, and it's got a ten-shot clip.

Give it to 'em in their lying PC faces, Trump! :)

I’ve been thinking this all along. As soon as he gets a boost in the ratings, he says something even more outrageous. I’ve wondered if he was a plant for hillary to insure she get nominated.

As far as the “Let’s get rid off all the PC stuff” out there. We should be able to say anything we want about anyone we want. It does make me chuckle when I see someone, MSM or otherwise, pick on one of our own. It turns into a “pull out the pitchfork” moment. We need to have them thrown in prison. He should be shot where he stands. We are seriously a selfish group here!

And just what, pray tell, do you mean by that “is” at the end of your sentence?

And I’m tiring of Hillary’s antics - primarily setting up an American ambassador to be butchered in the streets of Libya. I’ll take Trump’s antics over that bitch’s any day.

Exactly. My mother ALWAYS voted for the most conservative candidate, But Trump has absolutely no chance to get her vote. “He has no clue what a gentleman is, and he is not welcome at my table.”

And you and your Mom are from Cook County? ; )

Sorry, i’m just sick of the lies about Trump(or other Republicans as well)that pass unchallenged these days.

When I read or hear these lies I will respond with a vicious attack on whomever. I just will not stand for it anymore.

Happy Thanksgiving

You want a “gentleman”? Jimmy Carter was a perfect “gentleman.”

I stand corrected.

That pants statement was directed at Goldberg and incorrectly said to have been directed at Krauthammer at several news sites.

That said, I don't think you have to lecture anyone about the war we are in.

Furthermore, I didn't say we should elect a gentleman.

Read my full statement before shooting your mouth off.

You and me both — plus the other 48 or 49% of likely voters who will probably agree with us.

Therefore, if The Donald wins the ‘Pub nomination, or if he runs independently as a non-Pub, I think we’d better get ready for Madam Hill and First Gent Bill to return to the WH.

Looking at this thread, Trump is certainly bringing out the best in people isn’t he?

And it's bringing out the worst in some others who defend and promote a media-concocted lie about Trump.

Liberals love to lie.

Not what I’ve heard from people who saw him up close, behind the scenes. They paint a picture of James Earl as a petty dictator, with a vindictive operating style.

Nobody cares, drjimmy.

And yet, you have posted 11 times (so far) to this thread that is approaching 200 comments. Claiming "nobody cares" is truly the last refuge of someone who can't stand to hear the truth.

>> A “gentleman” is not going to stop much less defeat this enemy <<

Right. We don’t want a George Washington or a Ronald Reagan. We want a “reality” TV personality whose “you’re fired” shtick is his main claim to fame. That’ll stop the enemy dead in his tracks!
