Which pretty much sums up Trump's campaign.
So close, but you should have gone for "unnamed people in an airport" and "cab drivers" instead.

"It is well known" is shorthand for "I have zero evidence, but I would really like to believe". The retaliations carried out against imagined transgressions that "were well known" is long, and shameful.

It rather does. If veracity has any value, that is.

McVeigh was one guy who did not even use religion as his motivations but has been used to vilify the entire Christianity for 20 years.
No it hasn't.

Nobody says were there thousands of Christians who blew up Federal buildings?
Correct. Because that would be a Trump-style lie. See how easy that is to avoid?

So, you admit to writing a ridiculous post that makes no sense. Then you wrote yet another post in the same vein.

Yet Trump claims to have seen the coverage. Could you guys get your effin' stories straight? This is just - lack of effort.

Political Correctness allowed this stupidity to happen. This was before Camera phones were common place in our culture, but it is well known that American Muslims cheered the September 11th attacks.
This is what happens when people hear such stories. They're not harmless. Remember when a woman carved up her own face and said a "Big Black Man" did it because he supported Obama? People were frightened.

No. However, I'm sorry that something I wrote tongue-in-cheek was over your head. It was not my intention. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

Yeah, because hardly anyone was filming on rooftops that day.

This is what happens when you go to bat for a circus clown like Trump. Not good.

It’s in the September 18, 2001 edition of the WP. You want to quibble over the numbers. Numbers won’t help your case. The fact that it happened matters. Even if there was no record of it, it is believable given all that we have seen in 15 years. Heck, it can happen today.

I hope you read this with an open mind. A fascinating experiment in turning over a US city to Muslim governance.

Don't bother with these liars, they're not interested in the truth, they're only interested in peddling as much anti-muslim propaganda as possible.

Speaking of Rodney King, the LA Riots were as intense as anything short of a war (or a terror attack), yet tons of home video footage exists of the event as it happened (using 1992 video cameras), so why are Trump supporters arguing that we lacked the technology to film thousands of celebrating Muslims on 9/11???
