Trump happily accepts support from yet another absolute kook...

A really vicious one at that.

Donald Trump: "Great Honor" To Be Endorsed By Sandy Hook Truther

Trump Rally Speaker Carl Gallups Attacked Newtown Victim's Parents As Fakes Who Participated In "Staged" Shooting

Donald Trump's campaign has been relying on the support of Carl Gallups, a Florida-based pastor and radio host, ahead of the state's March 15 Republican primary; the campaign invited Gallups to speak at a rally and touted his endorsement as a "great honor" from a "prominent" leader. Gallups is a fringe conspiracy host who believes the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT, was a "staged" "hoax" and that the father of one of the victims was an "actor employed by the Obama administration to take away your guns."

emerged for this Carny Barker. He is following the and proud to follow,the model used by the German Nationalist after World War I. Amazing how his supporters do not want to see the aftermath,remember,the people who gave Hitler his early support vanished to the Camps first.

Wish I could invite Gallups to spend a day in my office so he can meet one of the "actors" and discuss his theories with him. And then I'd like to set Gallups on fire.

Holy fuck, i just read the *whole* article. Need a shower. I can't remember the last time I felt this angry. Now I have to go warn my co-workers to stay off GD for awhile in case they unwittingly run into this thread and we work ourselves up into a torches-and-pitchforks mob. I especially don't want my co-worker (a Sandy Hook parent) to read this.

Trump will probably be most indignant that anyone looked into this guy's background and pronounce it disgusting that people said bad things about him.

Just watch the first 15 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" and you'll know what I mean.

These bastards have to be brought into a mass shooting scene themselves, to see the dead bodies.

And even then, they'd still say "It's a fake, using dummies and such."

They're hopeless. Until *THEY* get shot.
