You can take those Nazi smears and shove 'em where the sun don't shine.

A story is making the rounds on Facebook that claims Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is calling for "ID badges" for American Muslims. The image on the story is of Jewish children wearing yellow starts during the Holocaust. Very frightening--and a lie.
Step 1: Seed. The lie begins with a Yahoo! profile in which Trump is asked, supposedly (the reporter does not provide his exact question), "require registering Muslims in a database or giving them a form of special identification that noted their religion."
Trump does not say yes or no. Instead, he dodges the question, and comes back to the question of monitoring mosques (which the U.S. has done in the past): "We're going to have to--we're going to have to look at a lot of things very closely," Trump said when presented with the idea. "We're going to have to look at the mosques. We're going to have to look very, very carefully."
The Yahoo! reporter, Hunter Walker (a hater of note), construes Trump's answer as follows: "He wouldn't rule it out."
Step 2: Amplify. The story is picked up by CNN. Sara Murray asks whether Trump would "rule out" a database for Muslims--borrowing from Walker's article. Trump is surprised, and tells her, truthfully, that he never responded to Walker's question.
Here is their exchange, as reported by CNN:
When Murray asked whether Trump would rule out a database for Muslims, he said he didn't "know where you heard that.""Yahoo News asked you about it, you didn't rule it out," Murray said as Trump worked a ropeline after the event.
"No, I never--I never responded to that question," Trump said.

They don’t even pretend to be honest anymore.
How can you smear a man for simply describing his government preference? Trump will expertly plan our economy and manage the government better than anybody else. Isn’t that what Il Duce promised?
LOL, Donald never said that until he did, then he didn’t.
More and more I worry about Donald’s safety.
I pray God keep him safe.
I thought you were a Constitutionalist? I don’t want a better dictator, but a return to the liberties and limitations of the Constitution.

Years and years of playing us like a violin. He’s a master marketer and his sales job is targeted and effective. When the Clinton’s and he decided on strategy they looked at GOP focus groups to find those issues that would trigger hot button responses. It’s working.
There really ought to be a place were those with TDS could be housed and helped, no?
I wonder why you are at FR when you continue to spout untruths like this?
It’s one thing to prefer another candidate.....
....but your total malice for Trump is beyond the pale.
Does it even matter to you that our own JR likes Trump.
This is a manufactured story.
You are exactly right. What’s shocking is how many people fail to see this and attack you as a RINO and a puppet of Rove for pointing out that The Donald wears no clothes and that his only real mission is to promote Trump.
Ask Maxine Waters’ what is in that big database that Barack Obama constructed.
You can bet your sweet bippy that religious affiliation is in there.
Kind of irrelevant to put religion on a driver’s license what with burqaed women and pastaheaded women wearing such garb in their DL photos.
We already keep a database of radical islamics, don’t we? Isn’t that what homeland security does.
Why don’t the reporters ask Obama and Clinton whether they keep a database on republicans, Christians, or “tea party” or any other political group, and whether they use these lists to target them.
Read the article.
Trump NEVER said this and if you continue to spread the lie you are no better than the media.
What is the difference between the lies you spread and the lies the media spreads other than the number of readers?
Twitchy, headed up by Michelle Malkin, posted a tweet, yesterday that said...”No, Trump did not say muslins had to wear ID tags”....or, something to that effect. Malkin is not even a fan of Trump’s but recognizes and CALLS OUT media BS, when she sees it.
We have a handful non-Trump posters who’re are doing the same - they actually come to Trump’s defense on this “media lies” carp.
Then, we have a couple of Trump Trolls who have NOTHING better to do than sift through FR keywords looking for Trump threads, to jump on and begin their incessant, immature, DU style trashing.
Trump knows the media’s game and has a great defensive game.
The FR Trump Trolls have proven they are reprehensible, when stooping so low to comment on/advance MSM lies.
