Quote:And you accuse me of cherry-picking? Choosing a couple of cases of violence committed by illegal immigrants and make them representative of the argument? Was the Aurora theater shooter an illegal immigrant or a gang member? How about the Sandy Hook shooter? O.J. Simpson? See, two can play at that game.

 

Donald Trump insinuated that the majority of people coming across the border are a criminal element, with some good people thrown in there somewhere. True or false? You seem to have this pre-conceived notion that I'm a liberal offended by everything. Frankly, I couldn't care less what an old dude with a bad rug thinks of people who cross the border from Mexico. I'm not looking for things to be "offended" by. I'm looking for things that I can get behind in the 2016 election, and when an old dude with a bad rug stands up and makes a statement that, when taken as a whole rather than cherry-picking bits and pieces of it, indicates that he believes most illegal immigrants are coming across to run drugs and rape women, I'm not going to be writing his name on any ballots, and I won't hesitate to voice my opinion that what he said is, whether he intended it to be or not, fear-mongering bigotry.

Trotting out the straw men.  Good on ya!  Liberals are truly like Pavlov's dogs.  Ring a bell and they come running with their canned debate points. 

 

Am I supposed to list ever violent crime committed by an illegal?  Is that the only way to make the point?  You cherry pick one sentence out of an entire quote because it offends you.  No other reason.  Didn't refute anything else in the quote.  Just the fact that he uttered that last sentence, and from that, you've labeled him (as good libs do) a bigot and borderline racist. 

 

Donald Trump basically cited an FBI report in his announcement.  He wasn't just plucking this from thin air.  So, I guess that means the FBI is borderline racist too, right?

 

Really fixated on his hair.  Another liberal tactic.  Attack something less substantive and more personal. 

 

You're more than welcome to be offended and to label him a bigot.  Calling him an old white guy with a bad rug is no less racist or bigoted, but hey, it's okay.  You're a lib.  You're allowed to spout those epithets without fear because you can't be considered a bigot or racist, right?
