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.

“The 50% is clearly more than offset by the 100&% of Hillary supporters who are traitors, criminals, racists, Christian haters, Jew haters, liars, bums, moochers, illegals, terrorist supporters and every type of sexual pervert known to the modern world.”

I would add baby killers, anti white, and man haters.

What Dana does not say, however, is that all of Clinton’s supporters are idiots.

Yes that is exactly what they have done, redefined and reshaped word usage and use of the word racism toward anyone that doesn’t agree with them. Many people really think it is racist to want people to come here legally or not welcome Muslims with open arms without checking them out...

Part of the reason they have had success in redefining many words and ideas for the general population is their control of the government schools.

Their curriculum of inculcating hate and envy and of dumbing down the students leads to things like people holding foolish, and often contradictory, beliefs.

Such as seriously believing that it is racist to criticize muslims.

Your descriptions are exactly right.

I am tried of people who feel they can tell me what to think, these are the most deplorable people in the country and it's vital that they be defeated.

Well let’s figure it out. About 95% of blacks vote Democrat and therefore are for Hillary. Since the polls show the race is about even, that means that Trump’s supporters are 50% of the population. Since Trump’s supporters disagree with 95% of the black population, that means that half of the Trump supporters are racist.

It’s really quite simple when you are a Democrat to call 50% of the Trump folks racist.

To be a ‘deplorable’ means you do not submit to the liberal PC baloney they are always pushing upon us.

It’s disgusting how the left has rewritten our language, so that anything they deem un-PC is now racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, sexist, bigoted, etc.—even when it’s not. The thought police are really getting out of control with their accusations and attempts to tamper down on free speech by slandering those who don’t keep in line. It’s disturbing how much more control the 2+2=5 types now have compared to just a couple of decades ago.

Haha!

ALL democrats and the WaPo believe all blacks are too stupid to obtain a photo ID - that's a textbook example of racism.

They’re panicking.

Dana Milibank and his ilk have nothing positive to say about Hillary so they’re reduced to attacking Trump’s supporters as bigots and know-nothing nativists.

They forgot you can’t beat something with nothing. Trump is ahead in the polls because he is running a positive campaign which has caught the imagination of millions of Americans.

Trump isn’t supposed to be winning and everything in the Democratic playbook the Left has tried hasn’t stopped him.

Its over and nothing Milibank and the rest of the lapdog media can do will revive Hillary’s campaign.

If somebody did an honest test to see what our cultural elitists really think about blacks, Latinos, cross-dressers or what-have-you, the degree of contempt would be far higher than you’d find among Trump voters. That’s because they hate EVERYBODY that is not themselves.

With Hillary saying this Dana feels empowered to actually say what he really thinks about millions of Americans. He is no different than the Hag, he holds us in contempt just like the rest of the effete snobish media.
