The media and the Left are going all-in attacking Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who committed the sin of saying something that upset them when he was discussing illegal Mexican immigrants.
A presidential candidate refusing to be PC? Nah, cant have that. The Hispanic network Univision and NBC have both tried to trump Trump because they say his comments were too harsh. The outrage community (what conservatives call Social Justice Warriors or SJWs) wasnt far behind.
Its all part of the Modern American Witch Hunt that consumes the news media in one enormous comb-over of our past. (Sorry, Donald.) SJWs who decry bullying anyone except conservatives spend more time persecuting nonbelievers than Soviets did Gulag-ing dissenters. The SJWs want a safe space free of flags, statues, monuments, gravesites, the Ten Commandments, sports team names and toy cars.
Their unity shows. Univisions President of Programming and Content Alberto Ciurana compared Trump to accused racist murderer Dylann Roof. Ciurana posted a photo of Trump and another of Roof next to one another under the headline No Comments, which was comment enough for bias, not for discipline.
Univision didnt bother to tell Ciurana he couldnt compare presidential candidates to accused mass murderers. Thats because mass murderer is a step down; his own boss compares his enemies to Nazis. Univision News President and Fusion CEO Isaac Lee said of his own networks lack of neutrality that liberal anchor Jorge Ramos is going to ask the person whatever is necessary to push the agenda for a more fair society.
Soon after the Univision dust-up, NBC cut connections to Trump and canceled plans to run the Miss USA Pageant, another Trump operation. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump, NBCs hypocritical statement said.
This is the same outlet that tolerates race-baiting Al Sharpton, who made his career off of a false rape claim. Of course, NBC is so honorable that it let anchor Brian Williams lie repeatedly and keep a job just on little-watched MSNBC. Maybe he can join Sharpton in a game of Liars Poker between shows. Theyll like it. Theres no trump.
After NBC, the controversy really caught fire. Macys literally cut ties with Trump, dropping his popular line of ties and other attire. Rapper Flo Rida canceled his scheduled performance at Miss USA. Star Trek actor George Takei, who made a career of pushing phony buttons on the Enterprise set and now pushes them in politics, bashed Trump for his traditional view of marriage.
Fox News Latinos Rick Sanchez summed up Hispanic reaction: Donald Trump has single-handedly united Latinos from coast to coast. I dont doubt it. After all, many of them watch Univision or NBC.
Ordinary humans would have crumbled under this onslaught by now. Trump seems to be just getting warmed up. He even got kudos from Rush Limbaugh for fighting back. Fight he did. The Donald bashed "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd for having a tremendous bias. Todd tweeted out what appeared to be a snarky response: In sports and politics, when athletes/candidates are complaining about the refs, it usually means they are losing. And it is NEVER becoming.
Only the left-wing Todd is pretending to be a ref. His wife is more honest, but no one talks about her. Lets. Kristian Denny Todd is also helping and advising Democrat Sen. Jim Webb as he considers a run for president. Webb got a softball interview sans witch hunt from hubby Chuck back in October.
Theres more. Kristian Denny Todd consults with progressive groups and causes including the ONE Campaign, VoteVets and the North Carolina Democratic Party. Thats from her bio on the Earth Institute Management Advisory Board at Columbia University. Liberal billionaire George Soros sits on the groups External Advisory Board. His Open Society Foundations have given more than $11.3 million to Columbia University since 2000.
Journalists arent refs, they lead the witch hunts. Journalists destroyed Dan Quayle for misspelling potato and think Obama is brilliant despite bungling the word respect and claiming the U.S. has 57 states.
The difference is this witch hunt is enhancing Trumps fan base. Hes currently running second in both New Hampshire and Iowa polls. Despite Trumps less-than-conservative background, right wingers like a politician that wont surrender to another Borking.
If journalists arent careful, this witch hunt might end with Trump dropping a house on the Dorothys of the news media.

It is about time we have a President who knows, and respects the Law of the Land! Someone who will keep the business of making laws out of the hands of college professors and anti american progressive thinkers.
I do not think Trump is a serious candidate. I doubt he thinks he can win. I personally do not like the man nor would I vote for him.
However, he did one great thing. He showed America how corporate and government censorship works. He exercised his freedom of speech and because it is not the corporate line or our governments line, he was punished. Now people should realize just how brain washing works. Only allow one view time and time again and people will begin to think it is the only way.
On most things I find Trump amusing but on this subject he is correct. We can not allow open borders weather it is for a cheap labor pool or votes are mute points. The American people's bottom line should be, not a no to open borders but a hell no. If he accomplishes nothing else just maybe it will make our leaders realize just how fed up we the people are with this situation.

The Gov. already knows how fed up we are, but we haven't suffered enough yet. We still have a little cash in our pockets, and they want it in exchange for more subsidies, and hand outs.
Do you really expect change with the Democrats. Their social experiment is just getting started..

I don't expect either party to change. I feel they are basically the same party. They just achieve their objectives from different perspectives. More for the elite or more for the poor and we working people pay for it all. Quite frankly I am tired of subsidizing the wealthy. I don't mind helping people displaced by this economy. In fact I feel I should but why am I helping billionaires? When will they have enough?
I do not trust either party. The only difference I can see is in who owns them. I am sure of only one thing, neither party cares about those of us paying the bills.
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
SheWolf; How are you subsidising the wealthy? Are you sending them a check every month? Or are you asking for higher taxes so they can better subsidize you? After all it's their own money, not yours.
Ah, the wonderful world of communism! Why don,t you just try Cuba or North Korea and enjoy their free bounty!

No one subsidizes me. I pay my taxes. I am only asking that the elite pay theirs. No more loop holes which allow them to pay less.
For years we have given tax breaks to corporations. Is the average American's life better or worse? The people who believe the elite should pay their fair share are not communists. The people who believe they should be exempt are the elite or the silly people who believe their propaganda.
As to my moving to another country. What a childish comment. I could very well say the same to you. However, you would be hard pressed to find another country still in the eighteenth century.
