WaPo: Yes, half of Trump supporters are racist
Washington Post ^ | September 12, 2016 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 09/13/2016 6:10:35 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of Donald Trump's supporters are racists and other "deplorables." But she wasn’t wrong.

If anything, when it comes to Trump's racist support, she might have low-balled the number.

Is there a buzzword for hating Dana Milbank?

Calling a person or a small group of people racist may be effective. Calling tens of millions of people racist is a political blunder as now they have taken away their favorite weapon against their enemies. Nobody will believe them as they try racist now.

Tara Setmayer on CNN is spouting the same argument. Clinton’s accusation was justified and is correct.

The Ministry of Propaganda is getting desperate.
They have a lame candidate who can’t campaign and they have used up all the epithets.

Activists?! Such a strong word. Try “protestors”.

Racists?! Not strong enough! Try KKK!

Exactly. They Left has re-defined terms completely away from their plain meaning. One can be completely “colorblind” and still be, in their view, a “racist”. They don’t differentiate color from culture; point out the problems with the culture, and you’re automatically identified as bigoted against the color. Seems their axiom is “all cultures are equal”, and therefore anyone dissing a culture as implicitly inferior _must_ be doing so because of the color the culture is identified by. Their cognitive dissonance won’t allow any other conclusion.

Wasn’t WaPo the media that Trump banned from his campaign stops months ago?

Sour grape liberals.

According to the Rasmussen poll on the subject, the most racist group -- by their own admission -- is Blacks. And Blacks as a group also think that whites as a group are less racist than Blacks.

WaPo and liberals in general are frankly delusional if they think that as a group they are any less racist than anyone else.

Considering that Amazon has NEVER turned a profit (look it up!) I doubt they would care.

When you exaggerate so outlandishly, you give power to the enemy. I tried to explain this to a couple of Dems at a button table, who were selling one button calling Trump KKK.

When you do that you are exonerating all the real followers of the KKK, and the KKK itself. I don’t think they got my point but then they are pretty stupid.

Yes, indeed, Amazon surely cannot want the business of all us racist, bible-thumping, gun-toting, U.S. flag-waving Deplorables.

After all, they stopped selling Confederate flags not so long ago.
