I think it would be pretty safe to say that this was "not right" if you know what I mean.

Celebrating the election is one thing, but this is over top.

That's dumb, but is it as stupid as strapping bombs to your chest and killing innocent women, children, and men thinking you will go to Allah and get 50-odd virgins to do your bidding because of it?

He also said, "Come bite me"

Sounds like the masochistic trolls who are coming here after the election, begging to be flogged!

It's totally different.
