Rick Wilson: Trump Keeps Insulting Our 9/11 Dead
The Daily Beast ^ | December 6, 2015 | Rick Wilson

Posted on 12/06/2015 1:22:20 PM PST by EveningStar

... I should know by now that arguing with diehard Trump supporters is largely futile but, if any of you are reading this, I pray you'll take this issue seriously.

Two equally grim prospects can explain your behavior. The first that you know Trump's claim is untrue, but enjoy living in his Reality Distortion Field simply to tweak mainstream America and the news media. You've become inhabitants of a funhouse-mirror version of the liberal culture and media you mock: insular, aggressively contrarian, obsessed with narrative over fact and anger over history.

The second is that you want it to be true so badly that you'll invent an imagined outrage rather than focus on the actual, terrible problem of Islamic radicalism (as we saw this week in California) because that fight is harder, more complex and more painful than the hokey nostrums of Trump's "plan" to fight ISIS. ("Take duh oil! Bomb da s*** outta dem!" "Muslim database!")

Playing out Donald Trump's lies doesn't mean you're fighting some political correct media trope about Muslims or that you're teaching the press a lesson. It doesn't mean you're confronting radical Islam. It doesn't mean you're bravely revealing a media cover-up. It doesn't mean that you're going to teach the Republican establishment a lesson.

All it means is you're part of the profoundly recursive Trump dynamic; he feeds your fears, prejudices, and atavistic desires for revenge against your catalog of demons, be they Muslims, Mexicans, or Republicans who fail to kneel before the Donald. You feed his monstrous, boundless ego and like the master con artist he is, he shovels you a fresh line of easily-digested outrage and boob-bait rhetoric ...

I’m sure there is a concentration camp or involuntary stay in a mental hospital in Rick Wilson’s future.

Trumps going to be building those too, and they are going to be big, and beautiful.

The inmates and nutjobs will pay for the construction costs.

It means Ricky was trying to use A Big Word to sound smart and instead made himself look like a fool.

Here’s his attempt to blame Breitbart for an internet threat that he received:

He found me out. I am, indeed, profoundly recursive.

Recursive, is that where you curse, then go back and curse some more? If so I have resembled that for over fifty years.

This freak talks about insulting, but then tweeted to Ann Coulter asking if she lets Donald stick his you know what in her backside.

That tells you what this guy has in his soul.

Hey Rick, go talk to ISIS and get back with us. Maybe we’ll listen then.
