Calling an entire nation rapists and drug traffickers sure does.

Seriously can you read? He clearly said nothing like that and for months has more than clarified for the intentionally dense.

It's just dishonest of you at this point.

She's soooo honest and all.

Is calling large groups of people racist promoting a hateful mentality?
Is this in reference to something? Who do the large groups specifically refer to?

Ultimately, the best way to deal with a prejudice is to change the mindset of the hateful person. If calling them out brings them awareness like "oh, I didn't realize I was being racist, I should think harder about what I'm doing", then no.

Clarified? If by asking "Who is doing the raping" is clarification then ok! Its a waste of time to talk about Trump, but his comments about Mexican immigrants were stupid, dishonest, and full of hate. Similar to his tweet about Jeb Bush yesterday. All they accomplished was driving voters away from him and towards his opposition.

Nice deflection. She hasn't even mentioned them. But the republicans have, and will do so again in a few days at the debate.

Do you really think Hillary wouldn't sic her dogs on that fake scandal? I realize she hasn't yet (to our obvious knowledge), but do you really hold her that high?

I think you are just trying to deflect. I expect everything to be attacked once the nominees are decided, but this is a republican led effort to smear Rubio and you are just trying to run damage control and as usual, its failing.

Yes, because calling people racists, bigots, etc. is the best way to spread awareness. You know, like kindly putting gasoline on a campfire to encourage it to go out.

Make as much money as Trump = evil greedy 1%-er

Make as much money as Rubio = what's wrong with you, you shouldn't be pres.

I guess the only acceptable way to get rich is to sell political favors to foreign governments under the guise of having your ex president husband give $500k speeches.

I'm not sure it'd matter. I doubt labeling large groups of people with hateful rhetoric is ever the most effective method of changing their ways. Probably more counterproductive than anything.

Debate lineup announced

Main stage - Trump, Carson, Rubio, Bush, Cruz, Fiorina, Kasich, Paul.

Undercard - Christie, Huckabee, Jindal, Santorum.

Undercard is a waste of time, put Christie back on the main stage and lose the other 3 completely.

Generally speaking, I agree that it can generate some form of backlash, which was why I wanted Aman to respond with who these large groups were specifically. Also, I want to make sure we are keeping a distinction between the reaction from the person subjected, and the reaction from everyone else who hears it.

So, about that new Vatican scandal...about 500k €(most of it meant to be for charity) spent in only 6 months on apartments, cars and first class flights. Such honest people.

So I'm getting reports you guys aren't attacking the content and are attacking each other instead.

Honestly I'm tired of the P&R section causing problems and I'm more then willing to start handing out topic bans and more for those who continue to contribute to the toxic hell hole this becomes.

Consider this the warning, from here on out I'm not giving you warnings on your accounts (from P&R infractions) I will skip straight to topic bans and suspensions.

/stands up
It's all my fault....

every time they tried to pass a school levy to raise taxes to pay for the schools I voted against it...

at first they just cut dumb stuff like art and music...

but now we apparently don't even teach civics any more.... or english.... or science... or reading comprehension...

don't even get me started on math..

so I must take some responsibility....at least for the american kids over there that don't know how to use their words...or work/play well with others.

my bad
