[CNN] Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Bainbridge Colby ... told news hounds on Friday that she was "appalled" that Donald Trump did not correct a questioner at one of his events who incorrectly asserted that President Barack Obama I bowled a 129. It’s like — it was like Special Olympics, or something... was a Moslem.
"I was appalled," Clinton said bluntly to a question from CNN's Suzanne Malveaux. "Not only was it out of bounds, it was untrue. He should have from the beginning corrected that kind of rhetoric, that level of hatefulness."
Is Mr. Trump privy to President Obama's innermost thoughts? If not, how can he possibly know what the gentleman in question believes?
Clinton said she would call on Trump, especially, and all other candidates to "stop this descent into the kind of hateful, mean spirited, divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... rhetoric that we have seen too much of."
At a Trump event in New Hampshire on Thursday, an unidentified man said, "We have a problem in this country. It's called Moslems. You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American. ... That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"
Trump did not correct the man, responding "We're going to be looking at a lot of different things. You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening. We're going to be looking at that and many other things."
Asked what Clinton would have done in that situation, the 2016 candidate said she doubted the person who asked that question would attend her event.
"But if that person would have been at my event, I would have called him out on it," Clinton said. "And I would have said from the very beginning that has no place in a political discussion like the one we are trying to have here. And not only it is out of place and wrong, it is totally factually untrue. And to quite impugning the integrity of the President."
Clinton would not call the sentiment expressed in the question racist, but said it was "prejudice" and "discriminatory."
Asked if Trump should publicly apologize, Clinton said, "I hope he does."
Democrats have quickly jumped on Trump's failure to challenge the questioner. Clinton's fellow Democratic hopefuls -- Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... and Martin O'Malley ...former Democratic governor of Maryland and aspiring presidential candidate, known locally as The One-Man Economic Wrecking Crew. O'Malley was elected to his second term driven by union support and near-Stalinesque vote margins in Baltimore city (82%) and Prince George's County (88%). He presided over more than 40 tax or fee increases, including a rain tax and a flush tax... -- condemned the remarks, and Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Moslem elected to Congress, said Trump showed "a complete lack of moral courage."

That's my question: When can we get rid of them?" [meaning mooslims]
The disputed element and key question was as stated above. The status of the Champ is no longer in dispute with most Americans.

But she's not so appalled by her husband's behavior towards women or the Benghazi murders or the made-up cover story about a video that offended the Islamics or Server Gate. And yes, the murder of babies as said above. Or her abysmal record of serial lies, destruction government records, and of non-accomplishment. But I suppose what is said here is deemed by her as part of the phony war on women and will be dismissed by the CorruptoCrat Party.

The venue was a town hall meeting where participants voiced their concerns. I applaud Trump for letting the guy speak his mind. I hope the guy still has 1st Amendment rights. Some of the other Pubs expressed self-righteous indignation and said they wouldn't have permitted the guy to speak. Spineless wienies. Trump didn't dwell on what the guy said. He was diplomatic and polite, let the guy go ahead, said we would look into a lot of things, and then went on. There is a possibility this was a part of dirty tricks and the guy was a plant put there to stir up a faked controversy.

They will continue to set him up, nit pick his answers, his hair, his helicopter and eventually his kids. Not that Hillary has answered one substantial question. Both side, MSNBC and FOX are both attacking him. They don't want to fix this nation, they want "Business as usual", it makes for good ratings. If the Republicans really wanted to fix this nation they would have listened to "What he said" and not attack him for his hair or ego. If just one mainstream republican were to pick up and parrot his message he would be ahead in the polls. But not, they was the usual infighting over abortion and guns, and then not pass any laws worth their weight.

I must have missed the part where Jesus was so concerned about the Shia gaining ascendance in the Shia/Sunni struggle that he wanted to incinerate everyone's kids so that the 'right' side won.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Hillary Clinton
