WaPo: Yes, half of Trump supporters are racist
Washington Post ^ | September 12, 2016 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 09/13/2016 6:10:35 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of Donald Trump's supporters are racists and other "deplorables." But she wasn’t wrong.

If anything, when it comes to Trump's racist support, she might have low-balled the number.

The ComPost is running out of objective criticism and therefore getting desperate!

Dear Dana, you really need to remove your lips from Hillary’s hind end. It isn’t a good ‘look’ for you. Sincerely, the American people

I'm surprised he didn't claim that ALL Trump supporters are homophobes.

Given how the left has so abused the concept of racism, that probably is how it appears to them. You’re racist if you question amnesty for millions of illegals. You’re racist if you don’t buy into BLM propaganda. You’re islamaphobic if you think we should not let in immigrants from terror-supporting Islamic states. The list goes on and on - with common sense being labelled as racism or other phobias.

Boycott Amazon and tell them why. The wallet carries huge weight for a protest against a company that allows the employee to say such things to customers.

I have seen Democrat literature in recent elections in which the words “women and minorities” were used to be strengthened by electing that politician(s). How is that not racist and sexist?

The Compost might as well be The Nation, Mother Jones, or the Daily Beast. They’re a left wing mouthpiece anyways. Might as well stop masquerading as a major newspaper.

Isn’t it wonderful to decide who is and isn’t a sinner. Funny how they are the first ones to tell you not to judge.

Pray America wakes

As I wrote previously, earlier Pew research found that Trump supporters were significantly less likely than other Americans (and supporters of other Republican presidential candidates) to think that racial and ethnic diversity improves the United States.

Yeah. Lets have an old, white bald guy (me) play center for the NY Knicks. That will improve diversity. These idiots talk opinion and 'values' while never considering 'results'

The whole point of having the "racism" label, is to be able to use it as a justification for ostracizing people from "polite society". Over-use the term, and it loses its power. Worse, using the term labels the person uttering it as a Leftist loonie.

73.39% of Illary’s supporters are racists. 4.93% have bad teeth. Which is up from 3.52% in 2008.

How would a newspaper know the personal feelings of millions of people?
The absurdity of the media is deplorable.

WaPo is doubling down on this Crooked Hillarys comment.

I love it ! While she tried to distance herself from the blast she let out when she thought she was safely inside her inner circle of DEM bots, the internet has let her racist comments go world wide.

This is how Democrats view hard working Americans. They think we are uneducated, unenlightened, and fearful of anything that doesn't fit in our moral sphere.

Now all her surrogates in the media, and her vice president pick are parroting it and saying shes right.

Milbank was part of the JournOlist group in 2007/08. It was composed of about 300 bloggers and “reporters” who were actively campaigning for 0bama. This is the group that zeroed in on, and savaged Palin during the 2008 election, and even kept after her long afterwards.
