Where was the hatred? Mostly the MSM has a problem with TRUTH!
The media are the enemy of the American people
This is about the 100th time the media has tried to destroy Trump
This is so ridiculous to me . According to the media Trump has to defend the monster Obama against any one that says anything against Obama. I don’t see how this works with the public. who could fall for that line?
Nope.
Faux issue, faux outrage
Now Jake, let’s talk about the economy and the Iran deal and open borders
Trump should have a half dozen enlightening passages from the Koran and another dozen examples of how Islam has spread and of muslim 'tolerance' of minority religions ready for the next time some media tool like Jake Tapper insults those who question the wisdom of inviting more muslims into the country.
If Tapper can’t see that Muslims are a problem, he’s an idiot.
This is stupidest non-event ever. Who cares? This is one of those subject where Newt would have absolutely destroyed the media to the point that they would have been afraid to ask it again.
I like Trump’s style handling these sorts of things, but it does make think about how Newt handled the media.
Hatred? So, CNN admits that being called “Muslim” is an insult?
Tapper acts as if there’s something wrong with being muslim.....
The Won is definitely not Muslim.
Muslims worship Allah.
The Won worships none but himself.
He is, however, most assuredly a Muslim sympathizer.
Hmmm … I seem to recall one of CNN’s own calling Bush “chimp” on air. Don’t they have an obligation to stand up to hatred?
Quite the contrast to the softballs the media tossed to candidate Obama and their ongoing protection of him.
I’m beginning to wonder why we keep flogging this story of Tapper’s lame attempt to impugn Trump; without including the part where Trump tossed the grenade BACK into Tapper’s lap and made him look like a smacked butt? If you’re going to flog a story, flog the whole thing, unless you want to go the way of the infamous and shamed Dan Rather.
Be careful when you try to sandbag FReepers. They’ll tear you a new one.
My reply would have been: “I am not responsible for anyone else’s statements. I have no obligation to support or condemn them. That being said, he is not a Muslim, and is not a Christian either. He is an atheistic marxist.”
Tapper calls it “hatred”. Others might call it “free speech”. You would think a real member of the unbiased media would advocate free speech. We know where Tapper stands.
To which Trump should have responded: "Do you not have a responsibility to call out hypocrisy?"
In fact, CNN hates conservatives and refuses to call out liberal hypocrisy.
“including the widely debunked allegation that President Barack Obama is a Muslim.”
Widely debunked? Such as? He’s been in office from Jan. 20th 2009 till now. That very first day on Jan. 20th 2009 he tried to close down Gitmo. When he couldn’t do that, he issued an executive order 2 days later which you can see here..........

In other words, the second he took office his #1 priority above EVERYTHING ELSE, was to Isamic terrorists and IT’S BEEN THAT WAY EVER SINCE. That’s ALL he cares about! Empowering and helping to spread not just Islam but radical Islam while kicking the legs out from the US and it’s allies at every opportunity. BULLSHT that it’s been “debunked” that he is Muslim. As Ted Nugent says “If Obama’s a Christian, I’m a gay vegetarian pirate”.
What a pity that Trump didn’t know that Hillary started that rumor Wayback in 2008!
I certainly do have a problem with "most Muslims — like most everything — I mean, these are fabulous people".
Why does being a follower of an evil religion make you a fabulous guy? Or being a half-assed follower of an evil religion?
Here is my response to the attack by Chris Matthews & Bill Maher (two of the most ridiculous intellectual pretenders in the media):
"Yes, to be very clear. Donald Trump handled the questions that have Chris & Bill so excited, precisely in the most statesman like manner It was a splendid moment for Trump, if one fully understands the context.
"But before going into that, let me make it very clear. I am not anti-Muslim. I do not favor large scale immigration from the Near East, for the same reason that I do not favor large scale immigration from most places. We do not need new settlers; we do not need cultural diversity. But that is not directed against Islam. Yet none of that has really anything material to do with the subject of what happened at the Town Meeting.
"Trump's approach was not bigoted; not in the slightest. The article shows who was bigoted, and it is those "politically correct" crack-pots, who believe other people have a duty to stifle any thought with which those "politically correct" crackpots do not agree. (The defined category includes Hillary Clinton, and quite a few confused babblers, of which Matthews & Maher are perhaps among the grossest examples.)
"Stifling free expression is not the duty of a candidate; it is not the moral duty of anyone. It is, to be sure, the essence of the "politically correct" crackpot! And Donald has already, clearly distanced himself from the "politically correct" crackpots. In that, he is truly a breath of fresh air.
"Now Islam is not the issue, in dealing with this thread. Obama's upbringing, and ideological orientation, and the bases for all of that, are continuing issues, whether Matthews & Maher want to gobble something otherwise or not. And many Americans are not convinced that Obama was actually born here. Just who are Matthews & Maher to say that no one should be permitted to inquire into such subjects?"
