Discussion: Conservatives Complain That Trump Is Distracting From Planned Parenthood

Discussion for article #238622

If you open your article with a falsehood, it leaves the reader with very little confidence that the rest of what follows will be accurate.

From The Blaze: Reacting to the undercover sting videos published by the Center for Medical Progress, Trump said the Planned Parenthood official’s “cavalier” attitude as she discussed pricing of the “specimens” was disturbing.

“It’s very sad to watch it,” he added. “It was so bad, and yet, there was such a cavalier attitude that this woman…I thought it was a disgrace.”

Donald also called for the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

One thing is that Trump is an actual problem. The other is wholly manufactured by crazy people.

Love the photo TPM. I can’t tell if the thumb and forefinger are referring to his intellectual capacity, his dick size, or his chances of becoming President.

The more media which researches the video, the more reports of outright lies … and the shameful delay for a year in releasing the video, If these procedures are so horrific, then why they INTENTIONALLY cover up what they claim are multiple federal crimes, every day for year?
Apparently, the extreme pro-choicers don’t care about that.

The recording date is near the beginning, in large type/. And why the truly blatant lie about partial birth abortions, which thy inserted into the video text, when we hear the doctor never said that.
Apparently, the extreme pro-choicers don’t care about that.

Odd, since he is increasingly viewed as an abortion.

Why is it that ‘MEN’ who have no standing in the abortion debate make comments about PP and they are to be taken seriously?

Not even sure why the Planned Parenthood thing should matter that much. If there is evidence that the video has been highly edited than it cannot be taken at face value and hardly would be the silver bullet that they want it to be. The fact of the matter is that these are the same people wanting to get rid of it for performing any abortion at all for religious reasons or ideological reasons. They were just looking for a reason.

I fear that the Right is whipping up the base to the point where there will be violence directed at Planned Parenthood offices and people will be killed, just like Fox News whipped up the hate against Dr. Tiller to the point that one of their brainwashed stooges killed him.

They don’t understand this is a settled issue for the vast majority of voters. The only reason state legislatures get away with more restrictions is because most American women and their partners don’t think it will affect them if they need the services.

Trump: “Whaaat?? They’re all a bunch o’ looooosers’! I’m leading in the polls. I’m winning. They are the same old politicians who got nothing…nothing! Here are their phone numbers…give em’ a call and tell them what losers they are.” ~his audience, the Trumpets, cheer wildly!!!~

And I was starting to feel sympathetic to the Republicans because of Trump’s antics. Now, however, I realize that they fully deserve the guy. The Planned Parenthood issue is another trumped up (no pun intended) fake scandal concocted by the GOP to rile up the base and deflect attention from their lack of any reasonable economic policy, failure to propose an acceptable alternative to the ACA and generally ugly attitude on social issues. So, their complaint that Trump is deflecting attention from their own deflection is fine comeuppance.

Naturally, the GOP and its shills blame the “mainstream media”, but the media is just doing what it always does–follow the stories people want to read about.

Libertarians don’t give a care about family planning or women’s health. They only care about money and legalizing drugs…and their own personal bigotry preferences be they against blacks, Latinos or Middle Eastern peoples.

The Christian Wrong will just have to mind their own business again when it comes to birth control and gay marriage. Trump is going to stick to what works for him. He’s running the GOP now and will fire and or/burn at the stake anyone who tries to get in his way.

All those who are still active in the Republican Party today have become so selfish and self-indulgent that they can’t stand each other or the personal prejudices and “causes” of others in their party.

The GOP is made up of many small factions of very different intolerant people…who can’t tolerate each other. Trump can’t tolerate anyone who does agree with him. Period.

Trump is your typical Koch Brothers Top 1% Republican. Wants economic monopolies to run everything…even if it’s into the ground like Big Oil, the Military Industrial Complex and Wall Street’s vulture capitalists did which resulted in the September 2008 worldwide economic meltdown and Great Recession.

Would those be the same crazy people that John McCain accused Donald Trump of stirring up? God, I hope so, because I love symmetry in the universe.
