Media hypocrisy about grieving parents on full display

[yuna628 9,758]

i have a feeling trump is cystic and might need to be lanced in a medically supervised setting. for cleanliness and to ensure the entire infection is gone..

You know what they do for really really bad cysts though? Not lancing.. they got to cut and yank that thing out. There's stitches and scars, it's all pretty nasty. That's what Trump is going to be. The infection causes widespread damage to the tissue, the cure is scarring, and the stink is something you don't soon forget.

Have to admit -- came here today just to see if there was anyone here who would take the short-fingered vulgarian's side on this. I was not disappointed.

Thank you, VJ -- don't ever stop being you.

In a world that is just so Topsy-turvy any more...We can take comfort that the important things in life don't change.

don't hold back

As has been investigated to the tune of millions of dollars, no it did not. The GOP created a faux controversy, won't let it die, and used a parent of one of the Benghazi victims to try to keep it alive.

So then it was all about a video?

*yawns*.........meanwhile, rumor has it Trump and Clinton are going for another golf game together tomorrow where they will laugh about all the words being written about the differences between them online...

These two incidents have nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. Both incidents just show that speaking freely can have consequences.

Ah yes lets take a look. I like bolding things also.

Thank you for the link. I found another one from the same site.

With all of these scandals how many were perpetuated while in public office?

Keep the links coming. Im having fun.

So you want me to explain why a bunch of politicians had an emergency meeting about a non-politician thats about the get the nomination of their party? Do you really need me to answer that? One of the things that I like about him is that he's hated by the rest of the politicians. You see it as a bad thing. Why? Because you love politicians so much? Because they are such honest and upstanding citizens? Really?

His wife cribbing from the enemy? You do realize they have speech writers right? Please tell me you know that. Please

Music? Are we really having this conversation?

Scott Baio is bad because being good looking makes you stupid....... Star Jones awesome because she's so........well she's so........I got nothing. This is brilliant.

Willie Robertson must be dumb because he has a beard, and accent, and wears camouflage. Except for the fact that he has a bachelors degree in Health and Human Performance with an emphasis in Business. Oh and he turned a small family business into a multimillion dollar empire. The fact that you know who he is is a testament to just how smart that guy really is.

The DNC sucked by the way. I watched it. You didn't. I didn't forget that little fact.

Trump's behavior is unacceptable for the White House. But Bill's is. Cigar anyone?

Slavishly devoted to Trump? Reading comprehension. Maybe you missed the part where I said I would have voted for anyone besides Trump.

Actually there is a good reason to bring up Allah. "Thank God" is just simple saying. Knowing how sensitive you libs are (can't forget how you mentioned not being proud to wear something with a US flag on it) and that you are a Muslim I didn't want to leave you out. It has no meaning to me at all. i'm Buddhist. Nice try.

The only thing you said that actually had any meaning was......what you didn't say. Not once did you mention anything about the uneducated Trump supporter. Please substantiate your claim that all black Trump supporters are uneducated. Maybe you were too busy with your links to hit on that one.

But the DNC didn't, right?

Who killed Mr. Kahn's son? Donald Trump or the people Donald Trump is trying to keep out of our country? Seems ironic to me.

Wow. If there was any case that could prove my theory right, you've done just that. You want to keep going, fine by me. Where to begin? You didn't debunk any of my links about Trump, which means you have a problem with crooked politicians, but not crooked businessmen? What sense does that even make?

Mrs. Trump's speech was written by her, remember? Since you watched the RNC surely you must remember this.

http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/07/19/rnc-convention-melania-trump-wrote-the-speech-sot.cnn

But that's right, a speechwriter took the blame for it when it became apparent she copied the FLOTUS's speech from 2008. I mean, that's cold. Trump's camp couldn't be bothered enough to hoodwink you with something less obvious, they must have thought you lot were so enthralled by him that you wouldn't even care, which seeing the responses here on VJ, he's right. I'm waiting for her next speech, where she talks about growing up raising two black girls in Chicago.

Music? You betcha. It would embarrass a normal human being to have the entertainment make fun of you at your own convention.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/20/politics/third-eye-blind-republican-convention-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/

But since we're talking about Trump supporters, let me guess, feeling no pain right? I'm pretty sure this didn't happen at the DNC, but if it did, since you watched both of them, post the link and I'll cross this off the list.

So now we're talking about Scott Baio. Being good looking gives you merit, really? That's what you're leading with? He's good looking so he must be intelligent. And a man saying this? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Star Jones? I didn't even bring her up so I'm not sure where you're going with that one.

Mr. Robertson from Duck Dynasty? I didn't attack his intellect, just pointed out the roster of people Trump has at the RNC. I understand movie stars, tv stars, but reality stars? Is that the best you can do? What about the underwear model? You left that out too. If this is too much to digest, I'll try and slow it down for you.

As for the DNC vs the RNC, viewers have to disagree with you, since the ONLY aspect of the RNC drew more viewers was Trump's speech.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/dnc-rnc-ratings-trump-clinton.html

FLOTUS's speech alone drew applause and had folks wanting her to run for President. Too bad you can't stand liberals, since we know Mrs. Trump will be using that for her speech at some point.

But Bill isn't running anymore now is he? Or we going with the two wrongs make a right? And last I checked, having an affair is wrong, but calling for the torture of family members is a bit much. But not in your world huh? It's always summertime in Trumpville.

But you're voting for Trump, and you're sitting here defending him. So yeah devoted is what you are.

And actually, I'm not a Muslim. If you'd done your homework, you'd know that. But I guess you were just chomping at the bit to come at me. So you let your bigotry speak out huh? Another one bites the dust.

And finally, what in the hell are you talking about black Trump supporters? In this thread? Or are you talking about another one? Seriously, it looks like you had a bone to pick and you just flew out of left field. I'm used to it here, but even this doesn't make sense...

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Twice i've had to read the same person talk about the Trump support being uneducated....specifically the black Trump supporter. I'm not sure how you justify that statement at all. What can you show us to back this up? Educated thinking would suggest otherwise.

Uneducated people don't have the mental capacity to manifest an original thought or opinion. They can't look at something and create an opinion based on what is important to them because they don't know what is important to them. They only know what they have been told and what is important to those around them. They will almost always if not always follow their peers and adopt whatever opinion their peers have. They can't justify being different. Now if you can tell me that I am wrong then please do but if I am then you are around some of the smartest uneducated people I've ever met.

In my opinion an uneducated person would be the person that sees that he is being lied to yet refuses to acknowledge it. Anyone here that can say that Hillary Clinton is an honest person would fit in this category. She's not. ALL of us here know she is not. Time after time we see her lie to the people of our country and not a single liberal will acknowledge it. Old news.....time to move on.....thats about all we hear about it. Now Benghazi is a fabricated controversy according to someone here. Amazing. Classified emails? Witch hunt. Clinton Foundation? Old news. Basement servers? Baseless.

Even when speaking about the conservatives here the best you can do is say we only have a semblence of intelligence. Yet you have no problem licking yourself all over when you spout ridiculous statements about the "uneducated black Trump supporter."

Trust me I wish there was someone besides Trump to choose from. Any other Republican candidate would have had my vote. Hell any other candidate from any party would have had my vote. I just absolutely will not and can not vote for Hillary Clinton. Maybe its my lack of intellect that is preventing me to be like the rest of the sheeple.....thank god. Oh and not to offend.....thank Allah also.

I don't know anything about a specific black Trump supporter but it is a fact that Trump supporters are less educated

in general and the links mention the reasons why. Trump uses the blame game and scapegoats to whip up support and misinformed

people fall for it. The phrase that only he can fix America is grandiose indeed, even mentally ill, a Narcissist point blank.

Don't know about your America but mine is already great. While he rambles on about building a ball room in the White House

and "they didn't let him" (whoever they are he didn't say) and not a word about infrastructure.

Not crazy about Hillary but man....it doesn't take much to spot the village idiot parading as a demi god.

acquaintances, their world is very small.

Oh by all means lets do continue. I do have a bigger problem with crooked politicians (thank you for finally admitting that shes' crooked) than with crooked businessmen. Businessmen represent their business. Lying to us only reflects upon them and their business. Politicians are elected to represent us.....the people. Lie to us and you should be in prison. Big difference and you should know that.

Debunk what? Read the above. Oh and by the way....read the title of the thread again. One word should stand out to you HYPOCRISY You give a link that Trump is bad. I give you a link that Hillary is bad. Your bad is bad but my bad is ok = Hypocrisy

So she wrote it but a speech writer took the blame? Which is it? Flip flop much? Your love for Hillary is all starting to make sense to me now. And link for link as usual

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/07/19/melania-trump-plagiarism-hillary-biden-barack-michelle/

But honestly you have to watch this one. I literally laughed out loud at this one. Its a personal favorite of mine. Liberals and their pedestals......you guys are so cute.

http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M6x1H08aFc

And did you notice how terribly he delivered it? LMAO The sheeple didnt know if they should cheer or not. hahaha

And on to Scott Baio again. Weren't you trying to make a point that there was call for concern because of Scott Baio and Willie Robertson oh and some underwear model that I dont remember? (I might have been busy cleaning my AR15 at that time) That was you right? Maybe you missed my point. I'll slow down for you as well. Did Star Jones, Tony Goldwyn, and Debra Messing really seal the deal at the DNC? Was that the dream team line up? Hypocrisy

The only thing that should draw viewers is the nominee's speech. Its why we (well some of us anyway) watch it. You win the undercard. We win the main event.

Bill will be there if she wins. Last I checked that was still the deal right? Hillary made so many claims about how important she was when she was the first lady. Bill wont be? I can just see Slick WIlly busting through the front doors yelling "Where all the interns at??!!!!"

Torture of my enemy? Am I morally opposed? Is that what you are asking me? Honestly....no. Never have been. It would be hard to be me if I were.

As for behavior necessary for the White House I think Hillary has shown she has no business there either. Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation. Hell even the director of the FBI said that Hillary Clinton wasnt "sophisticated enough" to understand classified designations......and you want to say Trump is an idiot? Hypocrisy

This is genius. So if I vote for someone then I'm considered slavishly devoted? You poor Bernie supporters gotta be hating life with this logic.

If you are not muslim then I must have missed the joke. You claim all Trump supporters are uneducated but I'm the bigot. lol

You didnt say anything about black trump supporters. That was someone else that I was hoping would have the guts to chime in. However, twice you have talked about trump supporters being uneducated. Im still waiting for you to show something anything at all to substantiate that.

Oh and dont think you finished me off. You just got pwnd
