    people react like this is the first time a candidate as said something like:
    At a campaign event in Philadelphia in June 2008, Mr. Obama told supporters, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

    Later that year, as polls showed a close race between Mr. Obama and Republican nominee John McCain, Mr. Obama urged a crowd of about 1,500 at a campaign rally in Elko, Nevada, to get confrontational in their community for him.

    “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors,” Mr. Obama said. “I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”

    Are you really comparing that mild joke and the incitement to have conversations with Trump promising to pay the legal fees of supporters who assault protesters??
    I see if someone you like says its OK. Good Stuff.

    Bullshit. There is clearly a qualitative and quantitative difference in the statements. If you can't recognize the difference between a joke about a sports team and repeated calls for violence and praise of the violence you are entirely blinded by bias.

    In neither case was Obama acting very presidential, but I am aghast that someone who considers themselves intelligent could fail to see the difference between a few poorly constructed remarks and more than a dozen direct mentions of actual violence at his rallies.

    Seems racist to say that illegal immigrants and Muslims are only of a certain skin type...just saying. I support legal means of immigration and am all about people of any skin color coming to the USA if they are properly vetted and abide to the laws and adapt to the Bill of Rights and Constitution. If they push Sharia law, do not pay taxes, affiliate with known terrorist groups, or try to use illegal means of getting here...I'd rather them not come. I hold that true with those coming from the north or from the south. I don't know whether the dude is racist or not, and don't really give a shit. There are still enough checks and balances that truly racist policies will not get passed. But I will definitely vote for someone pushing to protect the borders over someone that wants to give voting rights to illegal immigrants and just let the masses from who knows where flood in. "Illegal" and "Muslim" are not "races" btw.

    It seems to me the only people not calling him racist are the racist people voting for him. Which is normal. Most people don't like to come out and say 'I'm a racist'.

    It's funny with Trump though. I've got two FB friends that I knew before high school but never had a conversation with after the age of 14 or so but we're 'friends' on FB. I bring up these two guys because of the 450 people I'm 'friends' with on FB these two in particular I've pegged as complete assholes from day 1 of seeing their posts. They are the only two people whom I regularly visit their wall just to see what kind of absolute bullshit they've posted lately. Guess what? They both support Trump. Go figure.

    You shouldn't have racist friends.

    I wouldn't truly call Facebook friends real friends. Most people seem to have hundreds of so-called 'friends' on Facebook which don't count for much. Still, I can't say that I'd be keeping in contact with anyone who is overtly racist. Needless to say, I don't have any friends who openly support Trump.

    This thread has really devolved into a silly discussion. The Chicago thing is over and in the past. Maybe it should be closed and we think of something more meaningful to discuss in a new AMT thread.

    You know how FB works. No need to explain.

    Also, it's good to keep an occasional eye on the FB idiots. It teaches you exactly how not to behave on social media.

    Oh leave the thread open. I imagine it will be anyway; this shit is clusterfuckery at its finest, on all sides fronts.

    fuck social media all together.... i would pay a few of these people to have this discussion in person. They never would. They hide like cockroaches behind keyboards.

    I think the conversation in this thread regarding Chicago will quickly morph into a discussion of the next incident. And the next one. And the one after that.

    I understand, no one wants to walk around with a sign on their forehead reading "I'm a Racist Bigot"... so i get it. These few show their true selves hiding behind a keyboard in a fantasy world.

    These people you speak of have shown up in droves to the voting stations of the real world.
