Didn't he use that line when he was talking about the birth cert? I wonder what happened to all of those private investigators he sent to Hawaii.
Oh, Trump does the Große Lüge very well. If it's true he has a certain Bohemian Corporal's books on his night table, he's studied carefully.

in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It's his followers who are so incredibly bad at covering for him, because they completely misunderstand that the big lie needs to be flatly asserted.

I watched the video from 2009.

Maybe you can specifically point to the part where there were "thousands of Muslims in NJ cheering on 9/11" because it must be very well hidden.

i'm curious if bobsnow watched it.

i guess that video is getting posted in blogs as support for trump but, for anyone who has actually watched, it's obviously not.

He also said the bridge didn’t close.

But according to Giuliani, there weren’t “thousands and thousands,” as Trump has repeatedly said.

“I would’ve known that for sure,” Giuliani said. “I think what he’s doing is exaggerating.”

Now we are quibbling over numbers. So it did happen. Why couldn't CNN find this? Their reporters keep saying there is no evidence.

You are not bothered by the numbers. You don’t want to hear that any Muslim celebrated. If he had said a bunch of Muslims celebrated on rooftops you would have had the same reaction. Who are you kidding?

you don't see a radical difference between "12" and "thousands and thousands"?

Quote:

it's still unclear if even the "12 teens" actually happened.

Quote:

because they didn't cover it ( whether it actually did or didn't happen ). none of the networks or local did, making it impossible for trump to have seen on tv as he claims.

Quote:

correct. there is nothing to corroborate trumps claim that "thousands and thousands" of muslims were televised celebrating in new jersey on 9/11.
