Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

You've missed the entire point. Almost certainly the entire story was bogus and the event described never happened. And even if it did happen, Trump held no part in it. Most of us knew that.The problem is that the story was told as an example of something we should do. And in Trump's story the commander executed captured prisoners as a warning to the place the prisoners were from. So it is Trump's story as he told the story, and not some other version, which likely is also bogus because in all likelihood the whole thing was fabricated, that is at issue here. I'll also point out that Trump himself announced the story as being horrible. So, no he did not tell the story as you claim he did.Trump's words were reported accurately here and it is those words that draw criticism. Finally, did you even check to see whether the purported story you are citing was correct? And why put pigs blood on graves anyway? Forget the religious point. Why even do that?As for what you saw on the other website, I am not defending it. Heck it isn't any thing I'd ever heard of before you brought it up. I would certainly be suspicious of a sign explicitly saying 'Make racism great again'. Seems likely to be a plant. However I've seen a picture of a Republican presidential candidate holding up a sign calling Barrack 'Osama' and then claiming not to know what the sign said. I would be equally suspicious of that explanation.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

"I never found any indication that it was true in extensive research on his Moro experiences," Vandiver wrote. "This kind of thing would have run completely against his character."

Similarly, I've been unable to find any evidence corroborating the more general claim that Muslims believe that "eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood, etc., is to be instantly barred from paradise and doomed to hell." It is true that Islamic dietary restrictions, like those of Judaism, forbid the eating or handling of pork because pigs are considered unclean. But according to Raeed Tayeh of the American Muslim Association in North America, the notion that a Muslim would be denied entrance to heaven for touching a pig is "ridiculous." A statement from the Anti-Defamation League characterizes the claim as an "offensive caricature of Muslim beliefs."

Lastly, it is erroneously claimed that John J. Pershing was born near Laclede, Mississippi. He was actually born near Laclede, Missouri.

I will not take down the cheer until you clearly state you support torture.Ball is in your court.

I'm nowhere near a "Marxist" and I don't like Trump either. And something you seem to be forgetting... The overwhelming majority of the Republican base can't stand this guy either. Perhaps he is gaining traction on the ground, but the Republican party itself has no faith in this guy. So are Cruz or Rubio supporters being "Marxists" for disliking him on the same grounds that people have shared at EvC?In the same breath that you say anyone criticizing Trump must be a PC Marxist, you likewise slander them as PC Marxists. Imagine that?!?!

Faith, in a perfect world who would you vote for? Bear in mind that no one is ahead in the polls and no one has dropped out of the race and that none of them at this point are deemed unelectable. Which candidate would you support? Huckabee?

I vaguely remember hearing it was false years ago. Oh, gosh, look. Black Jack Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorist (2003 and later)

I believe I indicated that the truth of the story was in question. The point was only that it wasn't about POWs, because that's the only thing about it one should object to.

A combo of Trump, Cruz and Rand Paul might do it, with a dollop of Ben Carson.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Whut?I don't think you tried to grasp what I'm saying about PC.PC is the specific accusation of "racist," "xenophobic" "hate" tc, when the person has only opposed illegal immigration. It's a specific kind of slander invented by Cultural Marxists. Have Rubio or Cruz etc made that sort of accusation?Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I thought I said the truth of the story is in question. I could have said it more strongly, but all I cared about was that it wasn't about POWs, the murderers executed in the story were legally executed.

But he didn't only oppose illegal immigration, did he ? He decided to accuse Mexicans of being rapists. That is a racist comment. The fact that he made it in a monologue about illegal immigration, does not prevent it being racist.

So because they where not prisoners of war but just prisoners its ok to execute them without a trial? Edited by frako, : No reason given.

He commented that there were rapists among the illegal immigrants, but it's very PC of you to expand that to claim he said they were all rapists. There are LOTS of rapists among the Muslim refugees. The point is that you get criminals in the mix when you don't have control over who enters the country.

I gather that in some war situations, such as when you just witnessed the murder of a whole village by Muslims, such an execution is legal.

So in essence to fight monsters we have to be monsters too?
