...Afghan immigrant Ahmad Khan Rahami is wanted by authorities in connection to bomb attack in Chelsea. Dahir Adan from Somalia went on a stabbing rampage on Saturday at a St. Cloud mall.

On Monday Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out an informative graphic comparing Muslim refugees to Skittles. The liberal media is outraged. (Tweet) "If I had a bowl of Skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful?"

This is a very good analogy.

It is a perfect analogy and all the wailing proves that it hurt like hell! As the old adage attests, "If you're not catching flak, you're not over the target."

I am surprised they haven’t cried racism? He used candy that didn’t have any black pieces!

The word “skittles” goes back centuries and defines a form of lawn bowling from which all other bowling games are descended. How do you copyright a common noun?

Might as well imagine a colloquy between Trump and his accountant:

“Buy `buy’, Smathers”
“Mr. Trump, do you mean `goodbye’?”
“No, I mean buy the word `buy’. I don’t want anyone else to use it again.”

it is the stock-in-trade of the left - selective outrage.

Well Im sure the Skittles company isnt too happy with the analogy. Could have used jelly beans... Just an unfortunate use of a word. Great analogy however.

You make an interesting point about the origins of the word .... However Mr. Trump referenced a Bowl of Skittles along with a picture .... No mistaking the reference ...

Donald Trump jr. Said if a bowl of Skittles add 3 poison Skittles in it would you take a handful. How can that generate a lawsuit? He didn’t say Skittles are poison he said very clearly in a bowl of Skittles has poison in it. How is Mars company injured by this and don’t you have to be injured to prevail in a lawsuit?
