However, the discussion was centered on whether his recent comments can be considered "racist" or not. Since you want to deflect ... here's what Hillary said about Trump's comments ... while also addressing Jeb Bush's position on *illegal* immigrants: “They don’t want to provide a path to citizenship.

The real issue is what they want to do about it. First of all, you again ignored the issue and conveniently overlooked Hillary's dishonest comments about Trump and Bush. Trump wants to go after the Mexican government. He's not blaming Mexican citizens or even the illegal who jump the border. Does that make him a racist? That is the topic of this discussion. Trump is reving up the Republican "base" voters, feeding them what he thinks they want to hear. The Republican base is racist. As for the Mexican government, what is Trump going to do? Send drones? And there's no legitimate evidence the Mexican government is sending in illegals. What do you expect the Mexican government to do? Erect an Iron Curtain? Trump wants to win the Iowa GOP primary. I hope he wins all the marbles, leads the GOP to its worst defeat in history, and splits the party into bits and pieces. Is Trump a racist? Matters not. What matters is Trump is *using* racism to rev up his potential voters. What a racist you are! Bring up racism for everything. Now the Republican base is all racists according to you. Dumfock. You have Hillary, who is now pandering to illegal immigration. Even changing her wording. Same woman who shows a lack of any financial knowledge. A women who with her husband were both attorneys and pretty much broke until Bill left the Presidency. Now wants to pay everybody huge a huge salary, regardless of the jobs worth.

Discrimination or hate based upon race, and, nowadays, ethnicity, country of origin, gender...this is racist or close enough to the traditional meaning to pass. What do these have in common?

A racist is someone who discriminates against or hates others because of their race, typically, and more recently, the word has come to include discrimination or hate based upon ethnicity, country of origin, or gender. I don't discriminate or hate anyone because of those factors and therefore, I am not a racist. 2. There is no question the Republican base is chock full of racists. 3. Your insanity about the Clintons is not worth a comment. 4. I would stop wasting capital on foreign wars and use some of the savings to defend our borders, devise an accurate way to determine who is here legally or illegally, deport those who are violent, and prosecute employers who hire illegals, knowing they are illegal. For those who are here obeying the laws and working to support their families, I would establish a reasonable path to citizenship. I don't discriminate or hate anyone. Therefore you are a liar. But we all knew that anyway, right? How are the owls? Have you painted your Maryland Red barn yet? And speaking of brain-damaged racist, enter John Herring, stage right. |

Claiming all Republicans are racist is a racist statement right there. Nowhere did I say or claim *all* Republicans are racists. Your mind or what little is left of it is playing tricks on you. Your comment makes absolutely no sense. You don't seem to know what racism is... Let's try to define "racism" a bit further, for those with minds operating on less than a six pack. Discrimination or hate based upon race, and, nowadays, ethnicity, country of origin, gender...this is racist or close enough to the traditional meaning to pass. What do these have in common? They are attributes of themselves people cannot change. So if I say, "Marylanders are assholes," that wouldn't include you unless I said "All Marylanders are assholes"? Wrong.You made no exclusions when you stated Republicans are racist. You can't even tap dance for ****. How're the owls doing these days? -- Guns don't cause problems.

That said: What did he say that is "racist" in nature? He erroneously claimed that the Mexican government exports criminals, rapists and drug dealers to the USA. He didn't say anything derogatory about Mexicans in general. He's wrong of course, but I don't see he statement as "racist". He's against illegals, but so is the majority of the US population. Harry thinks everyone is a racist. It is just short hand for "I disagree with them". I totally disagree with the assertion but I think Trump is just trying to appeal to the hard hat gang and that crosses racial lines. I think the anti-immigrant demographic is the "working class" who feel their job may be in danger. The ironic thing is, down here, the Latinos are actually doing jobs Americans will not do. When it is 95 in the shade, you need someone who is used to working in the heat. Those northern white boys are not going to be able to deal with it. A guy who was raised in central Mexico never knew anything else. The Mexicans I've hired and seen working seem to have a tremendous work ethic. I've no problem with legal Mexican immigrants. Just their legality shows they're willing to put forth a lot of effort to get something accomplished. The illegals? Well, they've already broken the law once. The liberals would much rather leave the distinction out of their comments. Trump referred to *illegals*, but the liberal media continues to apply his comments to *all* Mexicans. This whole episode is showing how the liberal media can inflame a situation as it desires. I agree with you. The dishonesty is just written off as being "politics". You guys think that Trump is only referring to illegals? Get up to speed on GOP "coding." Is there an official decoder that you use approved and sanctioned by the DNC? Words matter, as you like to remind everyone. They are especially important in politics because they are usually recorded and available for public playback at any time. It's what croaked Romney. There are lists of words Republican candidates use that have racial, ethnic, and gender connotations well-known to the GOP "base" voter but which sound innocuous enough. Sometimes they are called "dog whistle" words or phrases. Examples: "Where's the original birth certificate?" "Death panels" "Urban" Ad what does your statement have to do with Trump? You're shifting off topic, Harry. That statement of yours *looks* like a 'save face' comment. It warms my heart to see Trump get so much support here from the usual right-wing suspects. :) Trump, by the way, is a big fan of his fellow bigots, Tony Perkins and Ralph Reed: In 2011 Trump declared, "I recently spoke to Ralph Reed and Tony Perkins and I was really impressed, they have great reputations and I have been hearing about them for years." He added that they were "smart people." http://tinyurl.com/psd4ugd What does that have to do with Trump's stance on illegal immigrants? Heheh. Morons. Trump talks about "illegal immigrants" because it fires up the base GOP voters...like you. He's an exploiter of labor and I am sure he doesn't give a **** about the country of origin of workers, so long as they work cheap. I don't know enough about him to know if your accusations are valid or not. I am not a Trump fan. However, the discussion was centered on whether his recent comments can be considered "racist" or not. Since you want to deflect ... here's what Hillary said about Trump's comments ... while also addressing Jeb Bush's position on *illegal* immigrants: “They don’t want to provide a path to citizenship. They range across a spectrum of being either grudgingly welcome or hostile towards immigrants.” John has pointed out the practice of Democrats of leaving out the word "illegal". Like you, she tries to deflect and misquote. Neither Trump or Bush have ever expressed such positions. To the contrary. But while we are on the subject, let's see what Hillary's position on illegal immigrants was a few years ago .... back when she would use the word "illegal": "I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. We’ve got to do more at our borders. And people have to stop employing illegal immigrants.” Almost everyone will say they are "against" illegal immigrants. The real issue is what they want to do about it. First of all, you again ignored the issue and conveniently overlooked Hillary's dishonest comments about Trump and Bush. Trump wants to go after the Mexican government. He's not blaming Mexican citizens or even the illegal who jump the border. Does that make him a racist? That is the topic of this discussion. Trump is reving up the Republican "base" voters, feeding them what he thinks they want to hear. The Republican base is racist. As for the Mexican government, what is Trump going to do? Send drones? And there's no legitimate evidence the Mexican government is sending in illegals. What do you expect the Mexican government to do? Erect an Iron Curtain? Trump wants to win the Iowa GOP primary. I hope he wins all the marbles, leads the GOP to its worst defeat in history, and splits the party into bits and pieces. Is Trump a racist? Matters not.

Every dictionary I checked does not define a racist in that way. and therefore, I am not a racist. 2. There is no question the Republican base is chock full of racists. 3.
