Finally, Trump and the GOP Start Muslim-Bashing
The Daily Beast ^ | September 18, 2015 | Dean Obeidallah, Palestinian-American Comedian

It took a while, but Trump is finally hating on Muslims—going along with a supporter who called Obama a Muslim born in another country.

Donald Trump gave us a profile in cowardice on Thursday night, remaining silent as one of his supporters served up a big heaping of vile anti-Muslim comments at a packed New Hampshire campaign event.

The Trump supporter’s words were so off the charts that part of me thought the guy might be joking. But sadly it appears he was deadly serious when he told the GOP frontrunner: “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. Our current president is one. We know he’s not even an American.” The man then added, “We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?”

Did Trump respond: “When you say we have a problem with Muslims, you mean the handful who have been involved in terrorism?” Nope. Did he correct his supporter, as John McCain did during the 2008 presidential race when a supporter called Obama “an Arab” and McCain immediately responded: “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.” Nope....

I’m about as tired of this crap as I can get. The intellectual dishonesty. Some guy, possibly a plant but who knows, asks a question about Obama the Muslim wannabe and now Trump is racist against Muslims.

There’s another five points for Trump. These @#$@#$ @#$@#$@#$ do know that they are killing us here in the US right?

and that ISIS wannabees are getting arrested every week?

Anyway, I had to rest my ulcer after the debate so I’m trying to keep an even tone on the insanity in this country.

IT IS NOT TRUMP’S JOB TO DEFEND THE PRESIDENT, THAT IS ODUMBI’S JOB. IS OBAMA SUPPOSED TO JUMP TO TRUMP’S DEFENSE WHEN THEY LIE ABOUT HIM?

He is a muzzy and we do have a muzzy problem.

Now that that is out of the way. Who cares what some guy said? Trump didnt say it. Why dont we start asking what the homeless window washer said while we are at it?

I bet the guy was being honest in his question. More than likely a birther or a conspiracy theorist. it’s not a far stretch to say Obama is Muslim. The candidates don’t bring up Obama. They should be bashing him and his policies.

I love how Rubio just said that he believes Obama is a Christian because...wait for it.... because Obama told us he was a Christian. so, that’s the end of that because Obama has never been known to lie about anything before. I’m thinking that if that’s all the evidence he needs, Marco Rubio is a gullible little child and we don’t need a gullible little child sitting in the oval office.

We are tired of politicians and pundits wagging their manicured fingers at us and telling us what to think.

Lots of us think Obama is Muslim, Communist and bent on hurting America and white, Christian Americans. Plus he’s evil.

Stick that somewhere and light a match to it.

“I’m about as tired of this crap as I can get. The intellectual dishonesty. Some guy, possibly a plant but who knows, asks a question about Obama the Muslim wannabe and now Trump is racist against Muslims”.

This is going to help Trump more than hurt him.

This would only bother people who wouldn’t vote for him anyway. And it might bring some fence sitters over to Trump.

I caught Limbaugh's show today and we went into a discussion how the media and small groups get outraged and try to convince themselves that the rest of the country shares their outrage. That's why they're surprised when their “this’ll hurt Trump” narratives don't come to pass

Figured it out yet? Movers and shakes don't dwell on the small stuff....good luck Mr. Obedoobe.

They think the media has control over the thinking in this country.

I saw it in Marco Rubios answer to Megyn Kelly on her lets talk bad about trump hour tonight His eyes shift around as he answers to please every possible group there is playing up to the media whom he wants controlling the voters minds

Any candidate who cares what the media says to us about him loses the election immediately

The media insults our intelligence while ruining the country

Any candidate who respects them loses.

The democrats come at it from a different angle. They do use the media to control their voters It’s all emotional for them. Comedy music photos facial expressions group think everyone’s doing it. That’s what works for them

Conservatives don’t think that way so controlling conservatives by controlling the media doesn’t work. As much as it’s tried. It doesn’t work. Conservatives believe what they see they see results. You can’t tell a conservative that the mets are not in first place, they are.

Lind will take away scoring or socially reprogram the game. But we know who’s winning. It’s the guys who win

So the media is out this round. They just don’t know it yet. Rush, hannity and levin will report and analyze. They’ll be in it. Hewitt is smart enough to know he’s been an ass with negative results. Coulter stepped in it. Crowley will continue to make all the right calls. Ibrahim probably, too. Jimmy Fallon played it right.

The uniparty establishment is going to be surprised that despite all the “Religion of Peace” BS they have fed people since 9-11, many people don’t particularlly care for muslims and many more than they believe think Obama is one.
