Fixed

Yeah, we hate Trump generally speaking. I can't think of very many other GOPers that I hate. Sheriff Joe.. Corey Lewadowski... Eric Cantor...they come to mind.

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.

i voted for bernie too. could not deliver my state for him though.

obama is telling donors to rally behind hillary. he has said he will be active on the campaign trail. this might seal it for hillary. with obama's endorsement trump has no chance in hell.

i saw trump bailed on the upcoming fox debate. probably will do a rally that night and bait some protesters into getting their skulls cracked.

I obviously don't like Trump, but it was actually politically smart for him to bail on the debate. He's got a solid lead. He can only lose ground by debating.

He never did lose ground from debates.
He has had enough and said so after the last one. Time and time again his answers are the same and he is tired of the same questions. Progressive.

Well damn, first Canadians became a race now people who support or don't support a particular candidate are a race? I'm confused!

I think that if you point out people who are being hateful you are a race.

Or is that if you point out who is being hateful you are a hatist

Now I'm really confused, haha!

I think the amount of hate spewn towards Trump obliterates the amount of hate any other candidate has received.

I also think the vitriol he's received has been well deserved, however I'm not sure why those hurling hatred are surprised by return shots at their chosen candidates: seems par for the course.

Oh, for sure. The DT is running on a platform of instigating hate.

As for vitriol hurled at Trump, the root of that vitriol is anger against the hatred. I don't want to bog this down in discussion in linguistics but one person spewing hatred outward is different that a lot of people spewing anger at the one who hates. Does that make sense?

Especially Bernie - that is funny shit.

"Argue with them and get in their face" is equal to "knock the crap out of 'em, I will pay your legal fees" and "I miss the good old days...when they would be taken out on a stretcher"????

Bullshit. I don't believe that you actually think that, I think you are bitterly clinging to an idea that you know is pure fantasy. If not, then God help this country because unbiased, rational thought is becoming a thing of the past.
