“thousands and thousands”

Thats fairly specific and I’m thinking that the accuracy of that specificity is at the real core of this “debate”.

Some People are refuting the Numbers....the “thousands and thousands” while others seem bent of defending the simple irrefutable fact that there was SOME level of :protest”

if there are two sides on this Misunderstanding It doesn’t appear that the many of the factions are even on the same page.

yes there were inappropriate “protests” . No, there weren “thousands and thousands” of “protestors” in New Jersey

simple enough?

News accounts at the time say 4,000 protestors. That is in line with “thousands and thousands” to me. Do you dispute the 4,000 figure reported at the time New York post)?

If so, what is your source?

The fact that numerous reports of specific instances are now surfacing, coupled with the fact that most incidents, being likely to have been limited to particular neighborhoods--were unlikely to have been recorded--as for example in urban neighborhoods, not likely to invite daily press coverage;--your point makes you look silly. It certainly does not refute Trump's estimate.

Pretending otherwise suggests that your pursuit of "accuracy," is a bogus effort to smear a popular candidate, who tells it like it is.

No, the specificity of this debate is that the media, like McCain, want to push the meme that 95% of Muslims are harmless and we’re just making this crap up.

The media has a two-prong concern, 1) to provide cover for radical Islamic terrorists and 2) to serve their GOP & Dem masters by providing cover for radical Islamic terrorism.

The argument is not about the number but about whether it happened at all. If the mainstream media conceded that a few hundred muslims celebrated but not “thousands”, I would accept that as a typical Trump exaggeration and Trump might have a little egg on his face. But instead, they are denying it happened at all when we all know it did and this is going to end up being a major PR victory for Trump. Again.
