I happened to see this interview and all he did was spout Trump speech about what terrible shape this country is in, how bad the last 8 years have been, blah, blah, blah, and without any pushback by our esteemed MSM. These people have convinced themselves they aren’t being lied to because they are just too stoopid for words. I saw some random interviews with folks who live on Staten Island. Wow, remind me never to stop there any time soon,

“[A] gang that participated in late-night ‘beaner hopping’ excursions to beat up Latino immigrants.”

The politics of Donald Trump’s America.

I hope clueless attitudes like this in the Republican Party continue unabated until the November election when Donald Trump garners a grand total of 7 Hispanic voters. Not 7%. SEVEN!

Well, you can call the guy a racist, and you can even call him an asshole, but at least he doesn’t have a tattoo on his forehead!
Hope they remember to invite Billo to the rally. That would be just about perfect.

The head of the Suffolk County, New York Republican Party is unfazed by
critics who are incensed that he invited Donald Trump to speak at an
event this week near the site of a fatal anti-Latino hate crime.

I love the smell of oppression in the morning (snark).

Seriously now, I think this is a blatant attempt at oppression. Make them uppity Latinos know who is the boss.

We’re at the point where these people revel in outraging what they perceive as “political correctness”—what most of us call common decency—as enthusiastically as a dog will roll in a rotting deer carcass. It makes them no more welcome than the dog in polite society, but for some reason they just don’t get the cause and effect part of it. Shaking my head.

“The New York Times editorial board concurred last week, calling the $150-a-head fundraiser at the Emporium rock music venue a “disgraceful provocation.””

Feature, not a bug.

Poor taste is the antithesis of political correctness, so, of course, he invited Trump. Because Obama, too.

Know who else had a tattoo on his forehead and what really brings home the subtext/dogwhistle messaging O’Reilly was engaged in?

“For Donald Trump to come and speak here is sacrilegious,” Rev. Allen Ramirez, a friend of the family, said Monday in a CNN appearance with Lucero’s brother, Joselo. “It is akin to inviting Osama bin Laden to speak at Ground Zero…"

Anyone who equates Trump with bin Laden is a-okay in my book!

You have to question the thinking behind this. Every idiot that sows up for this thing is already voting Trump. He’ll gain nothing. He’ll confirm the worst suspicions Hispanics have of him and alienate them more. All pain and no gain.

But this is a joke right? A rank example of bigotry “Up North” ? We’ll have to get Stevie Boy to fix this …gotta be an error!

“The reality is, this is about free speech," GOP county chairman John Jay LaValle said Tuesday on MSNBC. “This is about America. This is the leading Republican presidential candidate, probably the next President of the United States, coming to our community to speak to our community, to speak to our voters. The Republican primary is on the 19th. We’re proud to have him.”


“By the year 2050 we’ll be a majority-minority country and in both 2008 and 2012 President Obama won a combined 80 percent of the votes of all minority groups,” RNC chair Reince Priebus said in a press conference debuting the report. “The RNC cannot and will not write off any demographic or community or region of this country.”

It is a very serious matter.

Trump is has (among other things) irreversibly removed what’s left of civility from our public discourse…

Free speech would also mean that I could stand outside this asshole’s house and scream obscenities through a loud speaker 42/7.

I know this will date me, but there used to be something called good manners. The Republicans seem to have decided that those don’t matter, unless of course it serves them and their narrow, bigoted, hateful agenda.

Free speech also covers the kkk and so on. I do not think this is the argument you want to be making. Monsters are allowed to say what they want but that does not make it right or ok. Just legal.
