Oh, I have lots of typos in my posts. Iâm just utterly shameless about editing them out without saying I did so. Even when somebodyâs already quoted the original with the typo.
And even beyond my tendency to let finger memory override my frontal cortex when Iâm typing fast, when much of your commenting is done on an Apple platform, youâve got computer-aided typo insertion (or âautocorrectâ as they persist in calling it) to deal with.

He didnât âbungleâ anything. He said exactly what he meant and we understood it perfectly for what it was. The only surprise anyone should be be feeling is that he didnât use words like âjungle bunnyâ or âghetto ape,â which are current favorites all over the Faux News KKKomment boards.

White male voters. A distinct minority. Sure there are some self hating women and minorities to add. But then you have to subtract the white men with decency. Itâs not going to work at a national level.

Yeah, Iâm sure recognizing an anti-semitic meme, which was created by a member of, and was intentionally posted as an anti-semitic meme was just âliberals crying wolfâ.
You need to go read the story about the boy who cried wolf. Itâs a story about a boy who lies until no one believes him anymore, not one about a boy who is absolutely correct every time.

This is goofy liberal shit. The kind mocked in the right wing sites. I agree with them this time.
Go ahead and explain this all away too. Trump smilingly meets the author of a novel about ethnic cleansing in America? Nah, goofy liberal shit.

I havenât seen any particular effort by the Trump campaign to back up âstraining to move Blacks into his cornerâ as credible.
Denouncing the KKK for example, or David Duke, instead of using them make cold calls for his campaign, would probably go a lot further to âmove Blacks to his cornerâ. Or you know, not leading a two year + effort to declare the first Black President ineligible to hold the position.
And then there is the follow up response
âIt was bad wording by an assistant trying to send it direct to Lorretta [sic] Lynch. Liberal progressives have their underware [sic] all bunched up,â
Seems pretty clear he is aiming to take a few swings at liberalsâŚwhich 80-90% of Blacks identify with.
This is what the Trump campaign is composed ofâŚpart incompetent and part racist, and all hate.

Paldino sounds Italian. Guess he forgot that there was a time period when Italians werenât considered âwhiteâ

The nuttiest white-male-fundie I know (a Cruz guy)-- was ranting (at the ballpark) about a week ago-- to anyone and everyone-- how he just refuses to vote for either Trump or Clinton.
Iâll take half-a-win in this situation. And it bodes well.

Trump campaign, straining to move Blacks into his corner
Where in Jeebusâs name are you getting the notion that the Trump campaign is âstraining to move Blacks into his corner?â Or any other non-white minority group?
Thereâs a difference between reasonable skepticism and willful self-deceit.

Carl called the presumptive GOP nominee an âexterminatorâ who would get âthe raccoons out of the basement,ââŚ

I disagree. The connection between lynching and the way black people were treated is not obscure. It wouldnât have been nearly as much fun to tweet something like â@LorrettaLynch: why not let a grand jury decide?â With the âlynchâ tweet he can have his snicker and âwe want our country backâ moment and pretend that he wasnât using the dog whistle.
The fact that Trumpâs son-in-law and daughter are Jewish has been known for a long time. The fact that he wasnât sensitive to the symbol is even more damning if he not only âloves Jewish peopleâ but actually has people he loves who are Jewish.
In every Digital Literacy lesson that students (of all ages) are required to take, a major concept is that you canât take back things that get posted on the internet. As a public figure, regardless of whether you are a politician, a professional such as a lawyer, a physician, or a teacher, or, really, as a human being who is concerned with what other people think of you, you are careful what you tweet or retweet. As a public figure (especially one who believes that he is qualified to govern a state and who is currently a surrogate for a presidential candidate) he should know to read his postings for potential problems.
We would not accept this sloppiness from any other public figure. We should not accept it from these public figures.
Having said that, you may have a point that the charge of racism may lose its impact, but I canât help but think that we still need to point it out. Perhaps the response should be on the incompetence of a campaign and candidate that doesnât focus on management. That might hurt him worse than the charge of racism. But racism is still racism, and being insensitive to the symbols of past abuses is incompetentâfor those who use them and for the audience who receives it.

The Irish werenât considered white either. Thus, the Black Irish. I had no idea until recently about this.

What makes me pretty sure it was deliberate is that the response was another attack. Not âsorry for the typoâ or âGee, we never intended to do that.â Just another swing at the same old targets.

Underware is software that runs in the background.
This âacquaintanceâ between Trump and Lind is beyond the pale.
Hereâs another reference to a William Lind/Anders Breivik connection per Alternet.org in 2011:
http://www.alternet.org/story/151814/norwegian_shooting_suspectâs_'manifestoâ_inspired_by_american_right-wing_thinkers
In Lindâs book that @bluestatedon references-- in one chapter-- it describes a scenario in a post-democracy USA-- where downtown ATL is thermo-nuked to tamp an AA uprising.
And RWNJs want to give Trump the football?
