Left wing Media is up in arms today because an inbred ignoramus asked Donald Trump at an event in new Hampshire.
“We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one, “You know he’s not even American, birth certificate man , “But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?”
Despite the incessant drumbeat about Trump not following John McCain’s lead in denouncing racist ignorance there is something which is lost in all of the noise.
Of course Trump did not denounce it , he started it but despite the praise for John McCain he missed a great opportunity to be a great American himself.
When confronted by a racist ignorant woman at a Minnesota event who said “I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him and he’s not, he’s not uh — he’s an Arab.
McCain responded “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign’s all about. He’s not [an Arab].”
Even though many saw that moment as a magnanimous McCain moment, John McCain missed an opportunity to be big. If McCain believed as we are told that America was built by people who fled religious persecution how could he not tell her that there is nothing in the American Constitution which precludes Muslims or any other Religious practitioner from running for President.
In fact the only two requirements is that the candidate reaches the age of 35 years of age and was born in the United States.
Even on born in the United States stipulation there are nuances, McCain himself the son of a Navy Admiral was born in the Panama Canal zone. Ted Cruz another left wing loon was born in Canada. Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate, was actually born in Canada. But because his mother was a U.S. citizen, he is considered a natural-born citizen as well, and is therefore eligible to run for president. Cruz was born in 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His family later moved to Texas, when he was 4.
Even if Obama was born outside the United States which he wasn’t why would his American citizen mother not qualify for the same rights as a Ted Cruz?
The ignorant Right never misses an opportunity to tie itself into knots as they try to add legitimacy to the illegitimate.
Ever since Barack Obama took to the national political stage the cellar-dwellers of the Republican Right have attacked his Blackness and his very right to compete for the Presidency of the United States. Unfortunately even some Democrats harbor some of the same resentments when he seriously challenged Hillary Clinton and it appeared she would be beaten for the democratic Nomination in 2008.
Hillary Clinton is now criticizing Donald trump for not repudiating the cave dweller who asked the question as John McCain did in 08 ‚ironically when under pressure during the primaries in 08 the very same Hillary said “he is a christian,.….….…. as far as I know”!!!
Again in March of 2008 in answer to a 60 minutes questioner Steve Kroft, “You don’t believe that Senator Obama’s a Muslim?” Kroft asked.
Clinton answered “Of course not. I mean, that’s, you know, there is no basis for that. You know, I take him on the basis of what he says. And, you know, there isn’t any reason to doubt that,” .
Hillary Clinton had a chance there and then to stamp out that hatred directed at another Democrat she didn’t, she allowed political expediency to dictate her response and as such she has no authority to denounce Donald Trump.
Donald Trump will never be the President of these United States let’s get that straight. The majority of Americans are decent evolved people who have long gotten over racist tendencies. Of course that majority is bolstered by the coalition Barack Obama pieced together in 2008 .
That coalition included African-Americans-Hispanics, young people, Union workers, women. Jews, Asians and others.
Barack Obama is a successful two-term president whether they like it or not. The nasty xenophobic racism which was unearthed and unleashed on the American electoral process was introduced By Sarah Palin , Donald trump and others in the birther movement. Let’s thank Senator John McCain for that as well.
Since then President Obama has made public his long form birth certificate which silenced all of the critics and doubters with the exception of the intellectual turds like Palin Trump and the imbecile who posed the question to Trump.
Barack Obama was forced to show his papers. It was the same as during slavery when free black men were forced to show their freedom papers to slave-catchers who would sometimes destroy those papers and violently arrest them and return them to bondage.
Donald trump Sarah Palin and the ignorant Right are modern day slave catchers whose relevance is tied to pandering to the moronic and un-educated without whom they are nothing. As it was back in slavery , slave catchers were unimportant whites with no power their only sense of authority came from abusing blacks.
Of course Trump has a lot of money but his narcissistic campaign of “me” reveals a rather insecure shell of a man who needs to be told that he is loved, that he matter. Putting down the achievements of others, he believes enhances his own statute. His incoherent disjointed sentences usually end with the question “right”? An indication that he constantly needs to be validated.
As such I believe it is a waste of time to talk about Donald Trump at length. We have seen his kind before just ask president Rudolph Giuliani .……
