TRUMP JUST SUGGESTED HILLARY SHOULD BE ASSASSINATED

[DemocratSinceBirth]

PER CNN

[MFM008]

1. From an asshole

That flies around in a plane with his name all over it.
To bad it wouldn't run smack into a UFO.

[Maru Kitteh]

5. Naw, we don't want any innocent people

or aliens to be hurt.

I'd rather he suffered a mild MI at 8pm CST on election night after getting his tiny little wanker stuck in the world's smallest penis pump.

That would absolutely ensure we never had to hear from him again. Ever.

[NastyRiffraff]

23. I like your style, Maru!

Thanks for that. I badly needed a laugh after hearing about this monster's threat on Hillary's life.

[Kber]

2. Glad they are covering it.

[SaschaHM]

3. He couldn't not be an unhinged maniac for more than 24 hours.

Live look at the GOP.

4. Video here, for those who haven't seen it:

6. his own secret service detail

should have tackled him.

[Happyhippychick]

7. Why isn't he in custody for threatening a presidential candidate ?

[democrattotheend]

8. This is getting scary

I don't think there has ever been an election in US history where a candidate called for his opponent to be assassinated. That is just downright scary.

What do you want to bet the MSM, if they cover this, will try to draw a false equivalence to Hillary's Robert Kennedy comment in 2008? Even under the worst interpretation of that comment, no reasonable person could have concluded that she was calling for Obama to be assassinated.

[timlot]

9. Good Lord.

They'll spin to say that's not what he meant. Folks aren't dumb Don. We know what you were insinuating. The part about "thats going to be a sad day folks." Was really a indicative of what he meant. They just going to let him get away with this?

[No Vested Interest]

13. His surrogates are on TV saying he referred to

Gun lobbyists.
Deny. Deny. Deny.

[triron]

10. Arrest him!

The media has helped create this monster.

[madamesilverspurs]

11. He sure as fuck did.

And he isn't in custody. Think about THAT.

[Sunlei]

12. He sure did. Republican Leader calls to assassinate.

[kestrel91316]

14. Yes. He did.

[ailsagirl]

15. Link from CNN

[Stonepounder]

17. From the article:

The former head of the CIA, retired Gen. Michael Hayden, told CNN's Jake Tapper: "If someone else had said that said outside the hall, he'd be in the back of a police wagon now with the Secret Service questioning him."
...
Hayden added: "You're not just responsible for what you say. You are responsible for what people hear."

(Emphasis added)

16. this person has gotten nothing but feee press from the m$n if i did that the athourites would send

me up the river .

[sanatanadharma]

18. 2016 election, the gun-grabbers vs the trigger-pullers

No matter how the matter is parsed, Trump's comments are clearly calling the single-issue 2nd amendment gun owners to bring their armed power threats into the fray.

He is saying that within the Trump tribe trying to stop Madame President, the only political power with enough clout is in the not yet cold dead hands of the armed segment of their big-pup-tent tribe.

[Bill USA]

19. I suggest Trump be arrested and charged with inciting the commission of a crime

[SusanCalvin]

21. In a rational world, yep. nt

[NurseJackie]

20. Don't let him get away with it. It was intentional. He knows what it means. He'll play innocent...

... and try to make you believe he meant something different, but don't believe it.

We don't have to meet court-of-law prosecutorial standards before we can condemn and call-out behavior like that. We know EXACTLY what he meant! It was an inflammatory lie, followed by a call-to-action for his supporters.

IT WAS A THREAT!!

His denying what he meant by that is along the lines of someone denying that "see you next Tuesday" doesn't mean anything vulgar and misogynistic either.

[liberalmuse]

27. Exactly right!

He's the one who said the elections would be "rigged". Roger Stone has promised a "bloodbath". And now the impotent media expects us to believe Trump when he says he was talking about "political power" and "voting" after trying to denigrate our voting system. A man who incites violence at his rallies, and who likes to threaten others who speak out against him with with physical violence and has insinuated there will be violence in the streets if he loses. Riiiiiight.

[retrowire]

22. and in my fuckin state

Get the fuck out of here you bag of shit.

[catbyte]

24. His lame ass "clarification" is just as vile and dishonest as he is.

[LostOne4Ever]

25. Just when I thought he couldn't fall to a new low.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#00009d]The Republican Party should be ashamed of themselves for nominating such a man.

And last I looked death threats were illegal. LOCK HIM UP!!![/font]

[Cary]

26. Outrageous

Totally outrageous.

[neeksgeek]

28. If a Democrat said this about Don the Con, he'd demand "justice." n/t

[axiom3]

29. Time for the Secret Service to have a little "chat" with the Don

Regardless of what you feel about your opponent, directly or indirectly threatening them is against federal laws. Then again, the GOP often thinks that it is a party that is above the law, which is why Bush never faced any charges for his war crimes in Iraq.

Could you imagine what people's reaction would be if Obama said something like this? People would demand that he resign. Such double standards from the right wing.

[lindysalsagal]

30. Tweety's covering it with pundits on Hardball

All 3 condemned the comments.

Gotta give it to Tweety: He's all over this.
