I want to blame Trump for this, BUT I cannot in good faith do that. No matter the candidate you will have those who are on the fringes of hatred. Skin color be damned. This man in particular felt it was well within his 1A right to say what he did, and I support him in his 1A ability, but not the message. Actions like this do not come with a "get out of jail free card". Quite often in the recent past, people have used their 1A rights to say vile and ignorant things, just to find out that they are now looking for work after using their rights (the tweet about blacks in SA and ebola, the woman with the finger at Arlington, a young woman who complained on twitter about her wages being too low in SF). I wouldn't be surprised if he's the next one. To find a positive from this gent, I'd much rather live next to him as a neighbor. I know he doesn't like me, and he's open with it compared to many who also hate me, but cover it up with a smile and cookies.

It may not be Trump's fault, but he's sure bringing racists out of the woodwork. Action-reaction.

CPT L S - Sir, it was the democrats who were more supportive of slavery, the democrats that created the KKK, the democrats with the Jim Crow laws, the democrats that pushed social care (which is just another form of control). BLM is just another hate group, created by the democrats, Hillary Clinton honors racist (Margret Sanger among others)...

CPT L S - No sir, it is you that is mistaken. Republicans don't support voter suppression. So far it has only been Democrats protesting and rioting at Republican rallies not the other way around. It was Democrats that even blocked roads trying to prevent people from attending the rallies. Democrats are all about labels which add to the divide and create false separation. Republican aren't about all those superficial labels. Republicans are about equality but also about fairness, people should not be forced into classifications, they should be viewed based on individual merit. BLM is a hate group, they use violence, intimidation, and hate speech to push the agenda about one race over another. Republicans are about America and our legal citizens before anyone else (there is a huge difference between legal and illegal immigration). Trump has hired more women into positons of power most any other business. Bernie has never even hired anyone.

CPT L S - Sir, I think we will have to agree to disagree... you have a view that the facts just don't support and the very fact that you would use the Huffington Post as a platform to support your opinions tells that I have no need to debate my positions. I am American, I am Christian... Good day sir.

I think it was Voltaire that said something close to this "I may not like what you say but I'll defend your right to say it." These guys....sure you can do what you want here. That's the beauty of America BUT what so many people don't get is your right to do something STOPS when it infringes on the rights of others. Respect goes up AND comes down, Kiddies.

You cant blame trump. Unfortunately those people with a certain ideology just needed someone to hitch their wagon to. And i dont think trump is that arrogant (or crazy) to take credit. But now he does have minions.

CW3(P) (Join to see) - I was thinking along those lines as a reason why I can't blame Trump. At the same time, the fact he lied about the David Duke thing, and blamed a faulty ear piece makes me wonder. How far would you compromise your integrity to get ahead? Trump never gave a "full" denunciation to the racist groups. He just said I denounce them. So you couldn't name them by name? They named YOU by name.
