BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith told staff in a memo on Tuesday that it's permissible for them to call Donald Trump a racist as a fact on social media.

Smith wrote the memo in response to queries from staff about what was OK for them to post on social media networks such as Twitter or Facebook about Trump.

Muslim is not a race.

Who do these people think they are fooling?

The façade is up. The MSM and American politics are about to experience a paradigm shift.

That statement is yet another bit of evidence that the left has nothing to offer except name calling. Leftists, Progressives, Democrats, Socialists, Communists all avoid the TRUTH, and resort to name calling, character assassination, and blaming as their options.

Actually providing intelligent discourse and analysis and facts are too much for their disordered minds to handle. They have had too much success wallowing in the mud.

They are too dumb to know the words prejudiced and bigot.

Ask them if they know that Mecca is a segregated city that every muslim (even the moderates) bow to 5 times a day, every day. It has a death penalty for any non-muslim who’d dare enter. The host country burns the seized religious texts of non-muslims as they are not free to practice any faith other than Islam. The moderates around the world never speak out against this intolerance.

That’s moderation?

Not surprising at all. BuzzFeed is a cesspool of stupidity.

So what? Since “racist” now is an overused description it seems to pertain to all of us (or none of us). In any case, since it is applied so often, to so many people it has lost its effectiveness as an ad hominem insult. Evidently we are all racists.

Muslim is not a race.

And neither is it a religion!

Since 'racist' now means 'a lover of America, and a person who is sane', that's fine.

Call me one too!

Racist? or just clearing the way for Islamic Shari Law with the help of BHO ....!!!

Holder To Ban “Religious Profiling” In Terror Probes
January 27, 2014

According to NBC News, the Justice Department will soon prohibit religious profiling in terror cases. The move, if true, would completely blind federal law enforcement to the threat from Islamic extremism.

Already, the department has forced the FBI to bleach references to “Islam” and “jihad” from its counterterrorism training materials. It’s also made it harder for agents to infiltrate radical mosques.

But Attorney General Eric Holder reportedly now wants to make it illegal for agents to even consider religion in their investigations.

Democrats on the Hill are cheering the changes, along with the ACLU and radical Muslim Brotherhood front groups, who have all lobbied the administration for them. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has seen several of its officials jailed on terror-related charges, calls it “a step in the right direction.”

Appearing before the Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee in 2012, CAIR demanded the administration remove religion as a factor in terrorism investigations, even though just four years earlier Justice had named CAIR an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator.

The Islamic Society of North America, another designated co-conspirator, hailed the move as a civil-rights victory worthy of praise from “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” Read More: (link)

Donald Trump is NOT a racist...he understands the enemy within and does not hide behind POLITICAL CORRECTNESS...Republicans, Conservatives and just plain good Americans should be cheering this eye-opening cum veil lifting of Politically Correct bogus BS that has brain washed so many.....Trump points out painful truths. Muslims have been behind every terrorist event in America...

Trump can play this game, too. As they are about to find out in a world of liberal butt-hurt.

Trumps most enduring appeal? The black flag of “No Quarter” that I see “implicitly” flying over his head.
