And they made an even bigger error in the string of them when I came out over a month ago and had a special message to Donald Trump dealing with election fraud -- I personally talked to him as well obviously -- and he didnt so much do what I told him to do, he already concurred and absolutely was on the same page and was already right there with me or even ahead of me.

And then Trump comes out two days after I talked to him and after I put the message out. I talked to him that day, and then I came in I called Rob Jacobson up he was on that weekend I said, Were shooting a video of a message to Trump, I said its really a message to the people -- Ive already delivered the message to Trump that day.

So Trump has an advisor who blames the government for 9-11, Oklahoma City, the midwest tornadoes and the Boston Marathon bombing, and who has claimed no one died at Sandy Hook, Aurora and other shooting, called grieving family members "crisis actors," leading to numerous reports of in-person and online harassment of them.
And the media gives him a free pass and doesn't ask Donald to denounce a single word of it.
The questioning "radical associates" approach is reserved only for Democratic candidates who attended a church led by a scary black preacher.
Unlike the Rev. Wright situation, we won't see George Stephonopolous ask Trump about this, let alone base an entire debate around it, as he did Obama-Wright.

(9,114 posts)"The man charged with murdering three Pittsburgh police officers Saturday posted messages to a racist Web forum, considered getting a white supremacist tattoo, used racial insults online, and reportedly believed that Jews control America.
...
Around the same time, Hatewatch found, he posted a message to Stormfront.org, the largest white supremacist forum in the world, with a photograph of an eagle tattoo that he has on his chest and a mention that he was thinking about adding more tattoos. I was considering getting life runes on the outside of my calfs [sic], or just one on my penis maybe, he said in the posting, referring to the symbol of the National Alliance, for decades Americas leading neo-Nazi group until nearly collapsing in recent years.
At the same time, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported today, Poplawski, 22, believed that the United States was run by a secret cabal of Jews, feared an attack on gun rights, thought that U.S. troops would be used against citizens, and concluded that 30 states had already declared their sovereignty. He also was said to be a fan of far-right websites run by antigovernment conspiracy-monger Alex Jones. Much of the Post-Gazettes information came from Edward Perkovic, who told the paper and numerous other media outlets that he was Poplawskis lifelong best friend. Perkovic said that his friend was opposed to Zionist propaganda and had told him that he would defend himself if anyone tried to take his guns away.
Perkovic appears to share those beliefs and then some. Until the MySpace profile belonging to Eddie Perkovic (which mentions his friend, Richard Poplawski) was scrubbed over the weekend, it contained a wealth of neo-Nazi material captured by Hatewatch. "

(19,558 posts)Trump shows some definite shades of Alex Jones' batshit crazy ideology.
As to the media, it's not "fair" if they expose the full on insanity of the GOP nominee choice. Then there's no horse race, no need for the ad sales, and no more profits to be made.
