‘Rats got made at us for saying a woman dressing likea streetwalker invited attention. But they didn’t have a problem with Billygoat or mozlims assaulting women.
Now they say Trump and we ask to be vandalized and our signs stolen.
‘Rats are nuts.

So, if CNN is “bombed”, then it’s their own fault... right??

"NOWHERE IN THAT CLIP IS DONALD TRUMP BLAMED FOR THE FIREBOMBING!"

At the very end of the clip, the guy suggests that "heated rhetoric" is behind the firebombing, and that no one is more responsible for the "heated rhetoric" than Donald Trump. But Donald Trump never called Republicans "Nazis," and that is the word that was featured on the graffiti where the firebombing occurred.

In other news, CNN blamed Trump for the firebombing of GOP headquarters in NC.

Cops are blamed for criminals getting shot.

Wikileaks is evil for releasing embarrassing info on Hillary and they blame it on the Russians??

The first hurricane in 11 years is because of ...global warming.

Common sense is getting really uncommon.

I think it's completely possible a Trump supporter was responsible for the firebombing.

The reason...

Mental illness?

Personal or political immaturity?

A Left wing activist masquerading as a Trump supporter?

A Trump supporter vulnerable to Left wing bribery or coercion?

I will not be surprised at all if the perp is conveniently arrested, and conveniently unmasked as a Trump supporter, just days before the election.

I am the one responsible for any 'heat"

I and millions of other Americans.

If hillary clinton were to use the same words from the same mindset as Trump, she'd be the next President.

The "heat" is the anger within the less than intelligently American (or perhaps not) people that actually DO those things.

Trump says; "WE'RE going to make America great again" .. not I , but we're.

hillary's feeble "stronger together" is a vain attempt to ride President Trump's momentum.

Or a Trump supporter will be arrested and scapegoated right before the election and then quietly cleared thereafter

I blame the media for falsely reporting about Trump making this election close, otherwise he’d be ahead by 50 points

When Clinton goons appeared at Trump rallies and attacked Trump supporters unprovoked they blamed it on Trump’s “rhetoric”...so why stop now?

You need to listen to the entire clip. The last guy speaking on the clip states that the over-heated rhetoric of Trump has raised the temperature and caused bad things to happen such as the firebombing in NC.

No, he doesn't.

He cites first that there is over heated rhetoric on all sides .. and no one knows who's responsible for the firebombing and the temperature on all sides has to come down and that unfortunately Donald Trump leads in raising the temperature.


None of that is saying Donald has caused nor is responsible responsible for the firebombing.

Unless you want to admit obama has caused and is responsible for Ferguson .. et al.

It is often hard for normal people to even grasp the rationalizations of those who have no moral compass.

How Can Any American?

How can any American support anyone, running for President, who does not respect the stated purpose of the Constitution, she has repeatedly sworn to preserve? The Preamble to the Constitution states that purpose:

We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Our "posterity," of course, are our lineal descendants. A purpose that is 100% consistent with Donald Trump's call to put America First. It is 100% consistent with the Fifth Commandment, and traditional Western values, in general. Mrs. Clinton's call for open borders, and the failure to properly vet immigrants from lands with very different value systems, is 100% inconsistent with the Constitutional purpose.

How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump, who not only understands & accepts what the Constitution requires. He strenuously exposes Mrs. Clinton on issue after issue!

Trump is willing to risk a lifetime of success--his whole career & fortune--to take on a corrupt media, that tries in every unfair, intellectually dishonest, way to cover up Mrs. Clinton's crimes and repeated acts of betrayal, in order to stand for us, our Constitution and our clear interests, on a host of vital issues. Consider:

1. Trump supports and has been endorsed by the border guards. Mrs. Clinton has shown only disdain for those trying to keep America safe from a flood of unauthorized invaders.

2. Trump supports the rights of Americans to efficiently arm themselves, both for their own protection and for the protection of America! Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly sought means to disarm American families.

3. Trump has supported local Police in violent confrontations with neighborhood thugs; while Mrs. Clinton & Obama have allied themselves with virulently anti Police groups--some funded by George Soros--groups determined to deny their law abiding neighbors, the Police protection, necessary to make those neighborhoods safe.

4. Trump understands that making any neighborhood safe, is the key to increasing constructive activity in such neighborhood;--the key to people being able to start local businesses, with some hope of success; the key to better job opportunities, better credit ratings, etc. Mrs. Clinton has shown herself more intent on encouraging and supporting those Soros funded groups.

5. Donald Trump supports all forms of American energy production! He wants to let the coal miners get back to work; to take advantage of improved technology that allows a cleaner use of coal. Mrs. Clinton has insulted the coal miners, by refusing to help them get back to work, while she patronizes them; offering them a new dependence on even more Governmental meddling.

6. Returning to the Constitution--the solemn compact (or contract) that authorizes us to even have a Federal Government;--the charter, that once--when truly honored--made us the envy of the earth:

Donald Trump has pledged to appoint only those who honor the clear intent of that charter, to the Federal Judiciary. Mrs. Clinton has promised to only appoint Judges who agree with her ghoulish view of Feminist issues: such as the idea that it is O.K. for a woman--on mere whim--to have a healthy, already half born baby, killed in cold blood, in something euphemistically labeled a "partial birth abortion!"

7. Donald Trump, daily addresses great rallies, to discuss these and other vital issues; such as the damage to American workers & communities, resulting from trade deals, and immigration policies, that do not protect our rooted population. Mrs. Clinton has avoided in depth discussion of issues; preferring, instead, an incessant attack on Donald Trump's personality; his tone; his supporters;--in each case misrepresenting the same by a combination of lies, cherry picked but misleading data, gross exaggerations, and citations of spurious media smears, engineered by a slavish press, which covers up actual crimes, in a blind, but determined, support for the perpetrator.

Under such circumstances: How can any American vote for Mrs. Clinton? How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

Note further: There are thousands of organizations, some Faith based (both evangelical & social); some secular, but ideological; some based on Humanist arrogance (Return To Babel). Among them there is something to represent just about any imagined human interest. Our written Constitution is the sole organizational effort focused solely on the interests of the rooted American. How dare any American betray or trivialize our organization; the Constitutional Republic, as it was intended by the Fathers, who won it for their posterity?! How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

May the living God Bless all those who understand what is truly at stake!

He is implieing that Overheated rhetoric by Trump is an indirect factor in the firebombing.’Think what you want but it is clear to me.

INDIRECT (which I agree to) is NOT guilt or at fault.

I'm arguing the media's biased headline
