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.

And I’ll wager that 100% of WaPo’s people are cloistered, mentally challenged, unGodly pajama boys and dykes and aborters suffering with cognitive dissonance and low self-esteem.

Doubling down on the old “racism” tactic, must be getting desperate in the clinton camp. They should also loudly demand strict gun control, for complete victory in November!

Washington Post is a sham of a newspaper and propaganda commissars for the corrupt, slimeball clintons.

Boycott these loons completely.

God bless the Washington Post in general, and that little flip-boy Dana Milbank in particular, for DOUBLING DOWN on the "Basket of Deplorables" comment!!!

This helps us more than they can know. Now they own it, lock, stock, and barrel. And Milbank is a long-term reporter for what we laughingly call the 'Mainstream News Media'... so that adds a 'credible voice' to this incredible comment.

Even Hillary had the sense to back away from the comment, but Milbank and the Washington Post DOUBLED DOWN.

Seriously guys... thank you.

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

Anything wrong with being 'homophobic'?

Didn’t DJT drop the comPost from being credentialed press at his events?

No wonder the Bezos owned rag is lashing out like a cornered rat.

I stopped reading after he called racist anyone who doesn’t support Obama’s policies. And they have this drivel behind a paywall!

Well, coming from someone who supports the party that has literally defined racism and defended slavery throughout US history, I’m not sure I believe him.

This has me thinking about the old party game, Limbo, (which may reveal my age) where people in a line try to pass under a bar while bending over backwards. The bar is set high at first, and most people can go under it, but as it is lowered, more and more people cannot manage it, because most people can’t bend over backwards and still maintain footing and forward motion.

I think this would make a great graphic - call it the Politically Correct Limbo - each downward movement of the bar would have a label - with the highest bar slot having a label like the true definition of racism. Then the lower the bar goes, the more ridiculous the requirement, with the last one being “excuses all negative behavior because offender is a different race, gender, nationality, religion, etc.”

The 50% is clearly more than offset by the 100&% of Hillary supporters who are traitors, criminals, racists, Christian haters, Jew haters, liars, bums, moochers, illegals, terrorist supporters and every type of sexual pervert known to the modern world.

“The American National Election Studies, the long-running, extensive poll of American voters, asked voters in 2012 a basic test of prejudice: to rank black and white people on a scale from hardworking to lazy and from intelligent to unintelligent. The researchers found that 62 percent of white people gave black people a lower score in at least one of the attributes.”

There have been many many scientific studies over the years on race and intelligence and virtually ALL of them show whites and asians score significantly higher than blacks. Perhaps Trump supporters are not science deniers like Milbank in particular and RATS in general.

Yes that is exactly what they have done, redefined and reshaped word usage and use of the word racism toward anyone that doesn’t agree with them. Many people really think it is racist to want people to come here legally or not welcome Muslims with open arms without checking them out...

So what? If a criminal communist traitor like Hillary Clinton thinks I'm racist, I just don't give a $#!+. I don't want that worthless witch, or her maleficent minions in Big Media, to think well of me. To hell with them all.
