The President just nailed the birthers and Trump -- "Sideshows and carnival barkers"

[highplainsdem]

Pointing out we have important things to focus on and shouldn't be distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers.

1. The birther issue is really only useful to learn how people think.

And understand how conspiracies work.

But where are the carnival barkers, politicians saying one thing to get you to vote for them, when they do the opposite for some corporate money?

Think about it, the Carnival barkers been lying on news, in press releases and in what they say they do, versus what they do in secret.

What was the selling of Iraq war, A side show and a carnival barker selling the war. What is fox news? What about other media, still talking about birther issue at this very moment, What is The idea of lying to citizens that has been in some groups since the beginning of cold war.



PR is carnival barking.



The debt of beer and travel money to me is a fact, and a due.

6. And NBC's lame takeaway

Chuck Todd fleetingly noted that there might be some culpability for the media, but then they went to David Gregory, who breathlessly said it was a compelling moment, the President in the White House and Donald Trump holding a press conference in New Hampshire! Wow, what a visual.

Now Matt Lauer and Gregory are granting themselves total absolution for their relentless coverage. Sickening.

9. I can no longer respect the president...

I perform magic and twist balloons as a side business - the name of which is Sideshow Entertainment, and I dress as a carnival barker. :sarcasm:

10. Mr. Trump. Where is your apology? Are you "big man" or a "little man?"

11. If only he'd add the anti-equalithy religionists and McClurkin

But no, that sort of gossip based slandering of others based on prejudice and 'belief' without proof is a holy thing, a Sacrament. I guess it is bad to question his family's legitimacy, but perfectly acceptable to rail against the families of others as not being quiet as good as your 'real family'.
All sides are folks who point at others and shout 'I believe you are bad'. And I am not impressed with any of it.

12. frankly, I'm disappointed he did anything right now.

as long as Trump and company are pumping this meme they look like the crazies that they are. It also makes the rethugs have to address this with their crazy-ass base. I wouldn't have said a word till the rethugs had a nominee and made them committ to one side or the other.....make all the crazies committ to their craziness.
