Trump asserts thousands of people in US 'sick with hate'

Source: MSN/Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican Donald Trump asserted Monday there are thousands of people living in the United States "sick with hate" and capable of carrying out the sort of massacre that killed at least 50 people in a Florida nightclub.

"We can't let people in. ... We have to be very, very strong," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said in one of a host of broadcast interviews he undertook in advance of a speech he planned later Monday in New Hampshire.

"The problem is we have thousands of people right now in our country. You have people that were born in this country" who are susceptible to becoming "radicalized," the billionaire real estate mogul told Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends. He claimed that there are Muslims living here who "know who they are" and said it was time to "turn them in."

Trump, who got embroiled in controversy early in the presidential sweepstakes when he advocated a ban on Muslims being admitted to the United States, said "there are people out there with worse intentions" than the perpetrator of the shootings in Orlando early Sunday. "They have to report these people," he said.

Yeah this guy was Muslim. But what about the white dude that shot up the black church in Charleston? Are we not going to let white dudes into the country anymore? How about that red head kid who shot up the theater in Aurora, CO? No more redheads from Ireland or Scotland allowed into the US? Wasn't it an Asian kid who shot up Virginia Tech years ago? No more Asian allowed in either??

Not all massacres are driven by Muslims. One constant in this...high powered rifles did the killing.

Virginia Tech - now the 2nd worst mass shooting.

Actually the power isn't the issue. It is the number of rounds that can be shot with a finger pull, and the easy ability to reload.

since Timothy McVeigh didnt use a rifle he used a truck but rather the one real constant is that we have an "asshole" problem in this country.

Yes..like those white, right-wing evangelicals or anti-government nutjobs that carry out shootings at abortion clinics, African-American churches, bomb federal buildings, shoot up schools and movie theatres, etc.

Indeed Mr. Trump, there is a sick level of hate within this Country. People are indeed sick with this sick level of hate. Sick. Sick. Sick.

People with vicious intentions, terrible greed, ignorance, intolerance for other people. People who frequently espouse bigoted, angry, hateful views against those who are different. Such people tend to want to build walls to keep others out. They tend to want to damage and destroy those who are not like them. They tend to be quick to judge. They tend to profit from misery and poverty.

They tend to be... well, people like you, Mr. Trump. Have a nice warm glass of shut the hell up, and please do indeed go copulate vigorously with yourself while relaxing in a luxurious dumpster and drinking a gallon of bleach.

Hating liberals while not being able to explain what liberalism is?
Hating leftwing policies while not being able to explain what they are?
Like opposing the Affordable Care Act, facts be damned?
Like opposing judicial nominees of the Obama-administration, judicial emergencies be damned?

Does he realize that the man who did this was born in New York, just as he was? Does he realize that one of the two San Bernardino shooters was born in the US? Does he realize that Timothy McVeigh, Adam Lanza, et. al. were ALL native citizens of the United States?

millions in the US are sick with hate: hatred of our first black President hatred of those who exercise their contraceptive rights hatred of those who have a different skin color hatred of those who practice a different faith hatred of those who work for a more just and peaceful world. You know what Trump: almost all of them look like you! White middle aged privedged guys and their families afraid of losing the unfair advantages they have had!
