I would bet that out of the last 100 images posted in this room that 99 of them the poster did not know the original site that posted the pic. I myself missed the Star of David until CNN pointed it out. I actually thought the pic with the Saudis, Hillary and the WTC on fire was a much more offensive perversion of reality. That said, Trump needs a yuuuuge filter. He keeps crapping all over himself and he can't help it.
Dave I have the same keen eye for schlock that you do. I do find it funny how the national tv news media only scampers to protect the Jews as a means to attack Trump. (Carol Costello just told me that 57% of US hate crimes are committed against Jews, and 16% of hate crimes are against Muslims. Imagine that! Now imagine a Jewish kid taking a ticking clock to school and becoming a celebrity because of it. Yeah, right!)
The thing that bothers me most about Trump is not that he says what's on his mind. It's that he does not know when a tweet or a statement he makes is going to hurt him. I think he's a better person than Hillary although IMO they're both FOS. But the main reason I'm voting for him is pure disdain for her as a human being. I have no confidence that he will be a good president though.
Donald Trump Tweets Blatantly Anti-Semitic Post About Hillary Clinton
NewsBreaking NewsDonald Trump Tweets Blatantly Anti-Semitic Post About Hillary Clinton
Forward StaffJuly 2, 2016
“Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” declared Donald Trump’s official Twitter feed early on Saturday morning, with a picture of Hillary Clinton, a heaped pile of money and a large red, six-pointed Star of David.
He later took it down (to replace the star with a circle) but made no apology for the offence he had caused. News sources touted the blatant anti-Semitism of the tweet.Esquire also noted its poor design quality, the Verge said that it was up for two hours before it was taken down and the New York Daily News noted a tweeted response from Michael Skolnick:Classic @realDonaldTrump. First appease anti-Semitic white supremacists, then pretend it never happened.

Every time I think Rump can't go any lower, he proves me wrong. Btw, anybody see Snitch Bitch, the Complainer of All Things Even Remotely Anti-Semitic, lately?
Someone tell the Jew hating chimpanzee I already gave my opinion on that dumb photo.
Number of times 'Snitch Bitch' has reported a post here in the past year = 0. Number of times 'The Corpse' has reported me = at least twice that I know about. Hmmmm????
Dafinch started an anti-Semitic thread in which this Jew turned him into a corpse. Now he's all butthurt. Awww

hno:Loser!@#0:think2:
ointer:Slapping-silly90)):laughingbWell all I can tell you is all of the things Trump has said, and there have been so duzies, haven’t hurt him.
Only his enemies and the media would like you to believe that. He insulted all of his rivals in the primaries and one by one they all folded.
The constant bombardment by the media is an old Goebbels trick and at this point if people haven’t made up their mind by now then they’re not paying attention.
Rule 13. GOEBBELS' PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA states…
Propaganda must be carefully timed.
a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment.
c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness.
The more the media casts Trump in a negative light the less effective it becomes.
As for Trump, he did his homework, he came out telling the people we need to build a wall. A day doesn’t pass without a report of a illegal committing a crime. Then he said we have to temporally ban Muslims and ISIS immediately ramped up their killing around the world. The he said Hillary was crooked and now she’s under investigation by the FBI.
And if you think all of that was just a coincidence, it’s not.
He’s like a puppet master and the world is his puppet.

The SECRET meeting between Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. in back of closed plane was heightened with FBI shouting "go away, no pictures."

It's just another day for these Hypocrite Racists down here. The laughable excuses Drumpf supporters make for his, and their Racism, Anti Semitism, Islamophobia, etc are laughable, but typical of these hypocrites.
Why is it surprising that a campaign based on racism, Neo Naziism, etc, is using images for same? If there was an internet in the early 30's, Drumpf's role model would have been doing the same thing. And NEVER apologizing for their use, but always doubling down.

STATEMENTS FROM DONAJD J. TRUMP & SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR, DAN SCAVINO JR.
DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON FALSE ACCUSATION FROM HILLARY CLINTON:
These false attacks by Hillary Clinton trying to link the Star of David with a basic star, often used by sheriffs who deal with criminals and criminal behavior, showing an inscription that says “Crooked Hillary is the most corrupt candidate ever” with anti-Semitism is ridiculous. Clinton, through her surrogates, is just trying to divert attention from the dishonest behavior of herself and her husband.
The real questions are, why was Bill Clinton meeting secretly with the US Attorney General on her case and where are the 33,000 missing emails and all of the other information missing from her case - Why are there so many lies?
STATEMENT FROM TRUMP CAMPAIGN SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR DAN SCAVINO:
The social media graphic used this weekend was not created by the campaign nor was it sourced from an anti-Semitic site. It was lifted from an anti-Hillary Twitter user where countless images appear.
The sheriff’s badge – which is available under Microsoft’s “shapes” - fit with the theme of corrupt Hillary and that is why I selected it.
As the Social Media Director for the campaign, I would never offend anyone and therefore chose to remove the image.

It was a Jewish star, as everyone knows. A Sheriff's star has rounded tips. No one, except the idiot Drumpf sheep, buy his nonsense.

Another accusation of anti-Semitism and no apology in sight.
(Photo: @BraddJaffy via Twitter)
Donald Trump and his supporters invoke the term “political correctness” with abandon to rebut accusations of racism or misogyny lodged against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Unfortunately, they don’t seem to understand what the term actually means.
The latest offense to be lumped under the “PC” banner is a tweet by The Donald displaying Hillary Clinton on a backdrop of $100 bills with what looks like a Star of David with the words “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” written inside.
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski slammed outcry over the tweet as “political correctness run amok.” He told CNN it was nothing more than a “simple star,” even though most stars have five points. The star next to the Hillary image has six, like a Star of David. Lewandowski then made an absurdist claim — now being repeated by Trump’s online supporters, who are also shrieking about “political correctness” — that it was an image of a sheriff's badge.
As it turns out, the image was popularized on a white supremacist, neo-Nazi site. It appears to have originated on the Twitter account of an obsessive racist and anti-Semite who on June 22 tweeted out a swastika adorned with multiple images of Hillary Clinton. Moreover, The Daily Stormer — a neo-Nazi, white supremacist site known for its Trump boosterism — posted a story with the headline, “Glorious Leader Tweets Hillary Image with Dollars and Jew Star.”
To recognize and condemn this anti-Semitic image is to merely live in reality and possess a modicum of decency. It’s not “politically correct.”
Political correctness is generally understood to be, as the Oxford Dictionary defines it, “the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.”
Examples of the phenomenon are endless. Opposing anti-Semitism is not one of them.
Political correctness is when the University of New Hampshire tells students they shouldn’t use the word “American” to refer to U.S. citizens because it might offend people from South America. Cal State forcing sorority sisters to repent for holding aTaco Tuesday event is political correctness. Yale banning students from using the word “sissies” on a T-shirt (in a quote from an F. Scott Fitzgerald book) would appropriately earn the moniker “political correctness.”
Someone in Trump-land appears to have recognized a problem and deleted the tweet. A new tweet used a circle instead of a star. But there was no apology or explanation for the original tweet, nor a condemnation of the people who first posted it. Instead, Trump chose to issue a tweet blasting the “dishonest media” for fretting over what he says is a “plain star” or “a sherriff’s star.”
Even if Trump didn’t know where the image he tweeted came from, he must know now. He has an obligation to condemn the anti-Semitic intention of the image.
Trump’s silence is not a surprise. He has chosen to stay mute in the face of anti-Semitic attacks from his online supporters against reporters, including tweeting and phoning reporter Julia Ioffe to inform her she would make a good lampshade or bar of soap after she profiled Melania Trump for GQ.
Ioffe received images of her face photoshopped onto concentration camp victims. She received death threats serious enough to report to police. When asked about these attacks on CNN, Trump responded: “I don’t have a message to the fans.”
Rather than taking the opportunity to condemn people who glorify the Holocaust, Trump embraced them as “fans.” Andrew Anglin, the founder The Daily Stormer, named for the Hitler-era tabloid Der Stürmer, told The Huffington Post of Trump’s refusal to criticize the attacks on Ioffe: “We interpret that as an endorsement.”
One shudders to consider how they will interpret their hero’s tweeting of an image lifted from one of their noxious websites.
But I’m probably being too PC.
